Dr. Larkin used Zimmer Biomet’s Persona IQ implant in the operation, which uses sensors to collect data on the patient’s recovery and movements after a knee replacement procedure, according to the publication. That information can then be accessed by the patient and the surgeon via a smartphone app.
“[The smart implant] is a true game-changer in terms of where technology is going,” Dr. Larkin told Link NKY. “It is not for every patient, but for those who embrace technology, this is the future.”
