Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bone treatment device which measures the strain value of an implant by using a load applied to a bone, in order to evaluate healing of the bone.SOLUTION: A device for treating bone in a living body includes (a) an implant 102 configured to be attached to a bone 108; (b) a first sensor 104 for measuring a strain of a first portion of the implant, the first portion of the implant being configured to be mechanically coupled to a weakened portion of a bone when the implant is coupled to the bone in a target position in combination; and (c) a second sensor 106 for measuring strain in a non-weakened portion of the bone. 【課題】骨治癒を評価するために、骨に加えられる荷重を用いてインプラントの歪み値を測定する骨治療装置を提供する。【解決手段】生体内の骨を治療する装置は、（ａ）骨１０８に取り付けられるように構成されたインプラント１０２と、（ｂ）インプラントの第１の部分の歪みを測定する第１のセンサ１０４であって、インプラントが目標位置で骨に接続された場合に、一緒に骨の脆弱部分に機械的に接続されるように構成された第１のセンサと、（ｃ）骨の非脆弱部分の歪みを測定する第２のセンサ１０６とを含む。【選択図】図１
