A patient monitoring system, including: a bone plate configured to be secured to a bone; a plurality of sensors on the bone plate configured to: measure a parameter; transmit a data signal communicating the measured parameter value; and wherein the transmitted data signals from the plurality of sensors are time division multiplexed; and an external wireless reader including an antenna, a processor, and wireless communication radio, wherein the external wireless reader is configured to: transmit an modulated RF signal; and receive the time division multiplexed transmitted data signals from the plurality of sensors.

Smart plate sensors

A cerclage system used to affix a bone includes a tension plate, a cable lock, and a cerclage cable configured to encircle the bone. The tension plate, which is engageable with the cerclage cable, is moveable between a natural shape and an insertion shape where the tension plate stores energy. The cable lock locks the cerclage cable about the bone in engagement with the tension plate. The tension plate is configured for positioning atop the bone while residing in the insertion shape. The tension plate, through an engagement thereof with the cerclage cable and upon attempted movement thereof from the insertion shape toward the natural shape, delivers the energy stored therein to the cerclage cable thereby tensioning the cerclage cable such that the cerclage system continuously compresses the bone.
