Instrumented orthopedic and other medical implants

This invention describes a medical implant, likely for bones or joints, that can deliver drugs directly into the body. It contains a small computer and sensors to monitor a patient's condition, sending this data wirelessly to a central system. The system can then send instructions back to the implant to control drug release or other functions. The claims specifically focus on a drug delivery system with a transducer, a microprocessor for data communication, and various sensors and communication components.
