Abstract
The application of significant research outcomes in the field of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) has led to the application and demonstration of related technologies in the field of aerospace, marine, civil and structural engineering. Recently, there are research efforts towards the extension of the SHM concepts to the biomedical area. This aim of this paper is to provide an overview of some of these recent advances. This paper will provide an overview of the potential of using the global dynamic response of an externally fixated fractured femur to establish its state of healing [1-4]. These results show that the assessment of the state of union of the fixated femur can be achieved by analysing its dynamic response.
