摘要 |
There is described a bone fixation system for use in the treatment of a fractured bone, which fixation system is provided with a data logging device which is capable of sensing and storing data relating to the frequency of occurrence of an event associated with at least one physical characteristic of the fixation system. There is also described a method of monitoring the use in the treatment of a fractured bone of a bone fixation system, which method comprises sensing and storing data relating to the frequency of occurrence of an event associated with at least one physical characteristic of the fixation system using a data logging device with which the fixation system is provided. The data logger can be used to continuously monitor, for example, the frequency with which a certain relative displacement in the fixator occurs, which can be directly related to relative movement of the bone fragments and thereby to healing callus formation. <IMAGE> |
