摘要：
An insert (100) is disclosed for measuring a parameter of the muscular- skeletal system. The insert (100) can be temporary or permanent. In one embodiment, the insert (100) is prosthetic component for a single compartment of the knee. The insert (100) comprises a support structure (102) and a support structure (104) respectively having an articular surface (106) and a load bearing surface (108). The height of the insert (100) is less than 10 millimeters. At least one internal cavity (606) is formed when support structures (102, 104) are coupled together for housing electronic circuitry (618), sensors (602), and the power source (616). The cavity (606) can be sterilized through a port (612). A membrane (614) is between the port (612) and the cavity (606). A sterilization gas permeates the membrane (614) for sterilizing cavity (606). The membrane (614) prevents ingress of solids and liquids to the cavity (606).
