[The potential of wearable technology in knee arthroplasty].

Background: Wearable technology has developed rapidly in recent years and offers promising possibilities for supporting and optimizing orthopaedic procedures, especially pre- and postoperatively. The continuous monitoring and precise analysis of movement patterns, as well as the individual adaptation of rehabilitation processes are just some of the potential benefits of wearable technology. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the potential of wearable technology in knee arthroplasty and to provide an overview of the evidence that is currently available.

Recommender-based bone tumour classification with radiographs-a link to the past.

Objectives: To develop an algorithm to link undiagnosed patients to previous patient histories based on radiographs, and simultaneous classification of multiple bone tumours to enable early and specific diagnosis.

Materials And Methods: For this retrospective study, data from 2000 to 2021 were curated from our database by two orthopaedic surgeons, a radiologist and a data scientist. Patients with complete clinical and pre-therapy radiographic data were eligible.

Conversion of a medical implant into a versatile computer-brain interface.

Background: Information transmission into the human nervous system is the basis for a variety of prosthetic applications. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) systems are widely available, have a well documented safety record, can be implanted minimally invasively, and are known to stimulate afferent pathways. Nonetheless, SCS devices are not yet used for computer-brain-interfacing applications.
