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

Purpose Lower-limb osseointegrated prostheses are a novel alternative to traditional socket-
suspended prostheses, which are often associated with poor fit, soft tissue damage, and …

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

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

Introduction: Transcutaneous osseointegration following amputation (TOFA) confers better
mobility and quality of life for most patients versus socket prosthesis rehabilitation. Peri …

One of the critical factors that determines the biological properties of scaffolds is their
structure. Due to the mechanical and structural discrepancies between the target bone and …

OBJECTIVE The primary aim of this study was to compare osseointegration limb
replacement prosthesis users (OI-LRPU) to normative published PLUS-M values for …

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

Objectives To analyze our patient's complication profile and rate after removal of hardware
(ROH) surgery, and survey our patients to ask their overall status and improvement in …

Background: Upper limb (UL) amputation is disabling. ULs are necessary for many domains
of life 1, and few effective motor and sensory replacements are accessible 2. Approximately …
