Abstract Purpose of Review To review the topic of osseointegration amputation
reconstruction, which inserts a transcutaneous metal implant into the remaining …

Objective Lower-extremity transcutaneous osseointegration is a rehabilitation alternative to
socket-suspended prostheses. The rehabilitation process, philosophies, and routines …

Osseointegration (OI) for amputees refers to the direct, transcutaneous attachment of a
terminal prosthesis to bone. Once the purview of conceptual designs and case reports, OI …

Background Management of total knee replacement (TKR) infection may sometimes prompt
knee fusion (KF) or transfemoral amputation (TFA), both associated with low mobility and …

Background Some amputees with transfemoral osseointegration (TFOI) have ipsilateral hip
arthritis which can be addressed with total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study reported the …

Background: Transtibial amputation (TTA) reconstruction via press-fit osseointegration
permits direct skeletal connection between a patient's residual limb and the prosthetic leg …

Objective Transcutaneous osseointegration for amputees (TOFA) surgically implants a
prosthetic anchor into the residual limb's bone, enabling direct skeletal connection to a …

Background: The most common reason for lower-extremity amputations remains the
management of complications of diabetes mellitus (DM) and/or peripheral vascular disease …

Importance Most patients use a traditional socket prosthesis (TSP) to ambulate
independently following transtibial amputation. However, these patients generally require …

Context Rehabilitation following lower extremity amputation presents multiple challenges,
many related to the traditional prosthesis (TP) socket. Without skeletal loading, bone density …
