Smart bone implants aim to track healing and intervene before fractures stall
Researchers at Saarland University are developing fracture implants that sense how bone repair is progressing and mechanically respond with changes in stiffness or micro-movements designed to support regeneration.
Key Takeaways
- Researchers are developing fracture implants that can sense healing conditions directly at the injury site.
- The concept uses shape-memory micro-actuators with integrated sensing and the ability to change stiffness or deliver micro-movements.
