Summary:A spinal implant assembly includes a set screw having a central opening that extends from a first end of the set screw toward a second end of the set screw. The second end of the set screw includes a bottom bore portion, and the set screw is configured to engage with an anchoring member. The spinal implant assembly includes a capacitive assembly having an integrated circuit located within an internal portion the capacitive assembly, and a plurality of capacitive plates positioned on an outside bottom surface of the capacitive assembly. Each of the capacitive plates is in operable communication with the integrated circuit, and the capacitive assembly is configured to be received within the central opening of the set screw, such that the plurality of capacitive plates are positioned above the bottom bore portion.
