ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for non-invasive sensing of bone healing is disclosed. The apparatus and method uses an electromagnetic field to measure impedance changes at the bone fracture site during the healing process. The impedance change at the fracture site is a direct indication of the mechanical strength of the fracture site.
