Smart Implants in Orthopädie und Unfallchirurgie

Smart Implants kommen in Orthopädie und Unfallchirurgie vor allem in den Bereichen der Endoprothetik, Wirbelsäulenchirurgie und Frakturversorgung zum Einsatz und werden eine zunehmend wichtige Rolle bei der passiven Überwachung und aktiven Steuerung von Implantatfunktionen einnehmen. Dieser Beitrag stellt die technischen Grundlagen und aktuelle sowie zukünftige Anwendungsmöglichkeiten von intelligenten Implantaten in der muskuloskelettalen Chirurgie dar.
