Abstract
Within examples, a surgical device with an embedded sensor system for performing hip replacements is described. This device mitigates fracturing of the mid metaphyseal/diaphyseal region of the femur, and ensures adequate press-fit of the component into the bone. The device relays information regarding forces experienced by the patient's bone to a separate data acquisition device and displays it on an interface. This information is used by the surgeon to determine the force present inside of the patient's bone during broaching, and can then be used to provide better care, and mitigate fractures due to overloading in the bone.
