Abstract
A system for monitoring bone ingrowth includes an orthopaedic prosthesis having a circuit configured to transmit force sensor data indicative of an amount of force applied to a stem of the orthopaedic prosthesis in response to receiving power from an external power supply. The force sensor data is indicative of bone ingrowth of the orthopaedic prosthesis. As such, an orthopaedic surgeon may monitored the force sensor data over time to ensure bone ingrowth of the orthopaedic prosthesis has sufficiently occurred.
