- The federal Project Grant award R56AR082872 was provided by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846). The $395,171 award to Rush University Medical Center aims to determine the in vivo chemical changes of contemporary ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (PE) tibial liners used in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedures, and how these changes impact wear behavior...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $196,460.00, was provided by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846). The purpose of the award is to test a miniature knee joint system as a new tool to study the role of neuro-immune interactions in osteoarthritis pain. The University of Pittsburgh, the awardee, will use this novel microphysiological system with cartilage,...
- This federal Project Grant award of $306,722 was provided by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846). The funding supports Penderia Technologies Inc., a small business joint venture located in Eugene, Oregon, to fabricate and characterize a distal femoral fracture fixation plate that features an implantable, battery-free, wireless sensor. This sensor will enable...
- This NIH Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) provides $308,927 to Tensense LLC to develop and evaluate an intraoperative device that directly measures ligament engagement during total knee arthroplasty. The key products to be delivered are: Integration of a handheld ligament tensiometer into a custom joint distractor to create an "integrated distraction tensiometer" device. This device will be calibrated and evaluated...
- This Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Scripps Health will develop and test prototype "smart" shoulder implants capable of continuously monitoring prosthesis loading conditions in real-time. The $317,259 award aims to create self-powered sensor systems for both humeral stem and glenosphere components, which can provide biofeedback to patients and data to healthcare providers to help reduce the need for revision surgeries in total...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846), is intended to support the development of pre-operative planning software for the surgical treatment of patellar instability. The $292,954 award to Ortho Haus, LLC will fund work to generate data, validate computational models, and demonstrate proof-of-concept for a software platform that...
- The University of Pittsburgh received a $158,555 Project Grant from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.846). The grant is for the development and evaluation of a personalized, wireless, electronic-free metamaterial interbody fusion cage that can precisely measure forces during spinal fusion in-vivo and transmit the data wirelessly in real-time. The project...
- This $525,920 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) aims to develop a new generation of smart hip implants equipped with tiny sensors that monitor the forces acting on the implant during daily activities. The sensors, which generate their own power from movement, will wirelessly send data to doctors, allowing for early detection of potential problems like loosening or wear before they become serious. The project will optimize...
- This Project Grant award of $434,682 was provided by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.846). The purpose of the award is to precisely define the proteolytic events and mechanisms along the timeline of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA), leveraging a specialized proteomics approach called "degradomics." The award recipient, the Cleveland Clinic...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846), will support the development of an innovative self-powered smart piezoelectric total knee arthroplasty (TKA) implant platform. The $679,995 award to Tennessee Technological University will enable continuous in vivo measurement of joint kinematics and compartmental joint kinetics to address the lack of technology for postoperative monitoring, which has limited advances in knee arthroplasty. The project aims to provide critical data to enhance understanding of aseptic failure mechanisms and optimize implant alignment, soft tissue balance, and implant design to improve patient outcomes, which remain suboptimal for 10-20% of TKA procedures. The award has a performance period from August 1, 2025 to May 31, 2030.
