ABSTRACT:
A load sensor inserted between two bones for sensing a stress exerted on the load sensor includes a body, and a load transducer mounted in the body for transducing a strain thereof resulting from the stress into an electronic signal. Such load sensor can detect a stress exerted on a bone graft bone and/or the interaction of the bone graft and spine implant to improve curative effects and increase the successful rate of a bone graft operation.
