A system for monitoring a joint of a patient is described. The system includes at least one sensor configured to be coupled near the joint of the patient, the at least one sensor configured to sense one or more measurements of the joint. The system also includes a computing device comprising a digital processing device configured to receive the one or more measurements, determine one or more joint parameters based on the one or more measurements, generate a user interface for display, the user interface including a graphical representation of the one or more joint parameters. The digital processing device is also configured to compare the one or more joint parameters to a predetermined threshold and generate an icon for display within the user interface. The icon being generated in response to one of the one or more joint parameters exceeding the predetermined threshold.

Systems and methods for monitoring physical therapy of the knee and other joints

Systems, devices, and methods for post-surgical joint range of motion measurement, activity monitoring, as well as monitoring compliance with post-operative extremity elevation and cooling recommendations are provided. The system comprises sensor(s) to be attached adjacent a joint of the patient, with limb attachment element(s), applications running on a computing device of the patient and medical practitioner, and a cloud-based backend system.

An electrosurgical apparatus includes two assemblies, one of which is the primary assembly intended for a first surgical procedure, such as cutting tissue, and a secondary assembly intended for a second type of electrosurgical procedure, such as tissue coagulation. The secondary assembly fits over the electrode tip of the primary assembly and makes electrical contact with the electrode tip of the primary assembly. This allows for single instrument surgery whereby the secondary (coagulation) assembly provides bleeding control after the primary assembly has cut tissue. This combination significantly reduces operating time. The secondary assembly has a snap fit over the primary assembly so that it may be readily attached and detached several times during any surgical procedure, as the surgeon alternates between cutting tissue and coagulating the resulting incisions using the apparatus.
