Abstract
A sensing insert device (100) is disclosed for measuring a parameter of the muscular-skeletal system. The sensing insert device (100) can be temporary or permanent. Used intra-operatively, the sensing insert device (100) comprises an insert dock (202) and a sensing module (200). The sensing module (200) is a self-contained encapsulated measurement device having a contacting surface that couples to the muscular-skeletal system. The sensing module (200) comprises one or more sensors (303), electronic circuitry (307), and communication circuitry (320). The electronic circuitry (307) operatively couples to the one or more sensors (303) to measure the parameter. The communication circuitry (320) couples to the electronic circuitry (307) to wirelessly transmit measurement data. The communication circuitry (320) comprises a data packetizer (422), a cyclic redundancy check circuit (413), a transmitter (416), a matching network (414), and an antenna (412). The sensing insert device (100) when inserted allows movement of the muscular-skeletal system.
