Osteoporosis, a prevalent ailment worldwide, compromises bone strength and resilience, particularly afflicting the elderly population. This condition significantly heightens susceptibility to fractures even from trivial incidents, such as minor falls or impacts. A major challenge in diagnosing osteoporosis is the absence of discernible symptoms, allowing osteoporosis to remain undetected until the occurrence of a fracture event. Early symptom detection and swift diagnosis are critical for preventing severe issues related to bone diseases. Assessing bone turnover markers aids in identifying, diagnosing, and monitoring these conditions, guiding treatment decisions. However, conventional techniques for measuring bone mineral density are costly, time-consuming, and require specialized expertise. The integration of sensor technologies into medical practices has transformed how we monitor, diagnose, and treat various health conditions, including bone health and orthopedics. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of sensor technologies used in bone, covering their integration with bone tissue, various applications, recent advancements, challenges, and future directions.
骨质疏松症是一种全球性的常见疾病,会损害骨骼的强度和弹性,尤其影响老年人群体。这种病症会极大地增加骨折的易感性,甚至是轻微的跌倒或撞击等小事件也可能导致骨折。骨质疏松症的一个主要诊断难题是其没有明显的症状,这使得骨质疏松症在骨折事件发生之前都无法被察觉。早期发现症状并迅速诊断对于预防与骨骼疾病相关的严重问题至关重要。评估骨转换标志物有助于识别、诊断和监测这些病症,指导治疗决策。然而,传统的骨矿物质密度测量技术既昂贵又耗时,且需要专业知识。传感器技术在医疗实践中的整合改变了我们监测、诊断和治疗各种健康状况(包括骨骼健康和骨科疾病)的方式。本综述旨在全面概述用于骨骼的传感器技术的现状,包括它们与骨组织的整合、各种应用、最新进展、挑战和未来方向。
