Abstract

Orthopedic device or implants are provided, comprising an orthopedic device or implant and a sensor.

Claims (25)

1. A method of manufacturing a spinal implant where the spinal implant comprises a sensor, the method comprising:

performing an additive manufacturing process to create a partially created printed spinal implant;

embedding the sensor into a powder bed on the partially created printed spinal implant and melting the powder around the sensor;

performing an additive manufacturing process on the partially created printed spinal implant to create an electrical connection with the sensor;

performing an additive manufacturing process on the partially created printed spinal implant to create a printed spinal implant having a hollow space;

housing an electrical component in the hollow space; and

electrically coupling the electrical connection and the electrical component.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein,

a. the additive manufacturing process is commenced and thereafter, at appropriate times;

b. the additive manufacturing process is paused to allow the sensor to be embedded into the powder bed; and thereafter

c. the additive manufacturing process is re-started and construction of the printed spinal implant is completed.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the sensor is not prepared by the additive manufacturing process.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the sensor or a portion thereof is prepared by the additive manufacturing process.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the electrical connection with the sensor is provided by conductive silver ink deposited during the additive manufacturing process.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein a thermoplastic is used during the additive manufacturing process to create the printed spinal implant.

7. The method of claim 6 wherein the thermoplastic comprises acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS).

8. The method of claim 1 wherein a metal or metal alloy is used during the additive manufacturing process to create the printed spinal implant.

9. The method of claim 8 wherein the metal or metal alloy is selected from the group consisting of cobalt-chromium alloy, titanium, aluminum, and nickel-chromium alloys.

10. The method of claim 1 further comprising sterilizing the printed spinal implant.

11. The method of claim 1 wherein the sensor is positioned within the printed spinal implant.

12. The method of claim 1 wherein the sensor is positioned on the printed spinal implant.

13. The method of claim 1 wherein the sensor is an accelerometer.

14. The method of claim 1 wherein the electrical component is an electronic processor.

15. The method of claim 1 wherein the sensor is a plurality of sensors which are positioned on or within the printed spinal implant at a density of one of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 or 20 sensors per cubic centimeter.

16. A printed spinal implant comprising a sensor, the printed spinal implant prepared by an additive manufacturing process according to the method of claim 1 .
