Bioelectronic osteosynthesis plate to monitor the fracture bone healing using electric capacitive variations.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bone fractures represent a global public health issue. Over the past few decades, a sustained increase in the number of incidents and prevalent cases have been reported, as well as in the years lived with disability. Current monitoring techniques predominantly rely on imaging methods, which can result in subjective assessments, and expose patients to unnecessary cumulative doses of radiation. Besides, they are costly and incapable of providing continuous daily detection of fracture healing stages. Technological advances are still required to design fixation systems with the ability to minimize the risk of delayed healing and nonunion conditions for timely medical intervention, such that preventive procedures can be provided. This work proposes.
