The inductive-capacitive-resistive (LCR) based sensor was designed to be used along with commercially available suture buttons to monitor loading in reconstructed tendons and ligaments.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Sensor loading experiments demonstrated a detection range from 5 N to 180 N with high repeatability (1.8 % change in sensitivity over 10,000 cycles). Additionally, the effects of depth, alignment, and orientation on signal transmission between the implantable sensor and an external detection device were characterized. Finally, the sensor was deployed in an anterior cruciate ligament reconstructed cadaver knee and used to detect graft loading during various knee joint movements.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n This study established the design and basic functionality of a suture button accessory loading sensor to potentially assist orthopedic surgeons with surgical technique and help physical therapists with optimizing rehabilitation protocols for enhanced recovery in an effort to reduce failure rates.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.60118\/001c.128534","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,18]],"date-time":"2025-06-18T07:16:51Z","timestamp":1750231011000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Wireless Suture Button Accessory Sensor for Intra- and Post-Operative Monitoring of Suture Loading in Soft Tissue Reconstruction"],"prefix":"10.60118","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Salil S","family":"Karipott","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Penderia Technologies Inc."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kaylee","family":"Meyers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/0293rh119","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"University of Oregon","department":["Bioengineering, Knight Campus for Scientific Impact"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephen","family":"Laffoon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Penderia Technologies Inc."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"McGeehan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/0293rh119","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"University of Oregon","department":["Bioengineering, Knight Campus for Scientific Impact"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Samuel","family":"Adams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/03njmea73","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Duke Medical Center"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jonathan","family":"Riboh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/03446fm19","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"OrthoCarolina","department":["Sports Medicine Center"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicholas","family":"Strasser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02vm5rt34","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Vanderbilt University","department":["Department of Orthopedic Surgery"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ken","family":"Gall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/00py81415","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Duke University","department":["Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert","family":"Guldberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/0293rh119","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"University of Oregon","department":["Bioengineering, Knight Campus for Scientific Impact"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Keat Ghee","family":"Ong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/0293rh119","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"University of Oregon","department":["Bioengineering, Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"39661","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,18]]},"reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1160","DOI":"10.1002\/jor.23541","article-title":"Effects of ACL graft placement on in vivo knee function and cartilage thickness distributions","volume":"35","author":"L.
