Zusammenfassung:	Disclosed herein are joint implants and methods for tracking joint implant performance. A joint implant (100, 200) according to the present disclosure includes a first implant (102, 202) on a first bone and a second implant (104, 204) on a second bone of a joint. The first implant can include medial and lateral markers (114, 116, 214, 216). The second implant can include a medial marker reader (118, 252) to identify the medial markers and a lateral marker reader (120, 248) to identify the lateral markers to provide positional data of the first implant with respect to the second implant. The second implant can include a medial load sensor (132, 232) to measure medial load data and a lateral load sensor (254) to measure lateral load data. A processor (250) coupled to the medial marker reader, the lateral marker reader, the medial load sensor, and the lateral load sensor can transmit the positional data, the medial and lateral load data to an external source.
