- Patient with chronic knee pain who is indicated for total hip or knee replacement surgery
- Patient is at least 50 years of age
- Patient is willing to participate in pre- and postoperative surveys
Exclusion Criteria:
- Failure to complete pre-operative surveys.
- Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty
- Prior ipsilateral knee surgery such as ligament reconstruction or osteotomy
- Contralateral Total Knee Arthroplasty
- Prior tibial plateau fracture
- Ligamentous Insufficiency
- History of fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome

Standard of Care Spinal Surgery
Sensor Guided Spinal Surgery
Patients will be given spinal anesthesia with 2.6 mL of 0.5% isobaric bupivacaine.
The Verasense Knee System device (OrthoSensor inc., Dania Beach, Florida) is a sterile sensor system that replaces the tibial insert trials used during surgery. The sensor contains a microprocessor and integrated nanosensor system, which wirelessly transmits real-time data to a portable graphic display unit used for read-out of the data. The sensor measures and localizes peak load at the medial and lateral tibiofemoral joint interfaces. Loading data is thereby captured intra-operatively through the full range of movement (ROM) using the sensor system.
