Abstract

A system for detecting motion between an implant and a bone that can optionally include: a bone locator means configured to be coupled to the bone, an implant attachment means configured to be coupled to the implant, and a data analysis means. The implant attachment means includes a detection means, and the implant attachment means defines one or more apertures or surfaces for receiving a force from a force inducing means.
