Intelligent Orthopedics is a new field that harnesses the latest
innovations in sensors, microelectronics and wireless communications
with the goal of improving healthcare outcomes and reducing the cost
of treating musculoskeletal disease. OrthoSensor is developing a
portfolio of products to transform total joint and spine arthroplasty
procedures through sensor enabled soft tissue balancing, mechanical
alignment, intelligent implants and evidence based analytics.

Complications of balancing, mal-alignment and poor orthopedic implant
positioning are key drivers of revision surgery associated with total
joint replacement and spine surgery. Projected U.S. hospital cost
associated with total joint revision surgery is anticipated to be
$8.6 billion in 2015. OrthoSensor’s intelligent, low cost, single use
devices are being designed to provide orthopedic surgeons
quantifiable, intra-operative feedback on soft tissue balancing and
mechanical alignment in order to improve clinical and economic
outcomes.
