A San Diego, California, surgeon recently implanted a new "electronic knee" at the Scripps Clinic Division of Orthopaedic Surgery. The prosthetic gauges pressure exerted on the knee and wirelessly zaps that data to the doctor's computer. The knee contains tranducers, a microtransmitter and an antenna that allow transmission of force measurements into a computer-readable format. Plus, the knee presumably enables the patient to run at 60 MPH.
