1. A system for detecting micro-motion in an orthopedic implant comprising:

  • a three-axis accelerometer coupled to the orthopedic implant where the orthopedic implant is configured to couple to a muscular-skeletal system and where the muscular-skeletal system or the orthopedic implant is configured to receive an impact force;

    electronic circuitry coupled to the three-axis accelerometer where the electronic circuitry includes a transmitter configured to transmit quantitative measurement data from the three-axis accelerometer due to the impact force; and

    a remote system configured to receive the quantitative measurement data where the remote system processes the quantitative measurement data to determine micro-motion or changes in micro-motion in the implant.
