Radio implanted nail aids hip fracture recovery
A tiny implanted radio in the nail used to repair a hip fracture signals the patient when weight or activity is excessive. If triggered, the device relieves stress on the fracture to prevent complications. Dr. Victor H. Frankel and colleagues at Case Western Reserve University Medical School lead the work, aimed at safer, swifter recovery and broader medical uses such as oxygenators in heart-lung machines and guiding cross-hospital knowledge sharing.
