Algorithm-driven sound analysis for orthopedic implant procedures, correlating hammer frequencies with primary stability for optimal fit

This entity is engaged in the development of an algorithm for the medical technology sector, specifically within orthopedic surgery. The core technology analyzes acoustic signals generated by hammer blows during the implantation of cementless endoprostheses, such as short stems in the femur. The objective is to provide surgeons with a method to assess the primary stability of an implant, which is a critical factor for successful long-term osseous integration. By processing sound patterns within a frequency range of 100 Hz to 24 kHz, the algorithm can differentiate between hammer blows, indicating the quality of the implant's fit within the medullary space. This approach aims to objectify a process that currently relies on the surgeon's subjective interpretation of acoustic and mechanical feedback. The technology was validated in a clinical setting using 32 short stem implantations, where the algorithm's classifications aligned with expert analysis. The target users are orthopedic surgeons and hospitals performing hip replacement procedures.
