Osseointegration

Osseointegration is a surgical procedure that can enhance the lives of individuals with limb loss. It involves placing a prosthetic implant into the remaining bone of an amputee – this implant serves as a direct connection point for attaching an external prosthesis, eliminating the requirement for a traditional socket-mounted prosthesis. 

Benefits of Osseointegration

Eliminate Socket Issues

No more sweating, rubbing, bruising, chafing or discomfort resulting from the atrict between socket and skin. 

Improved Overall Pain

Thanks to a more stable prosthetic connection, distributing the load more evenly along the bone and reducing pressure points.

Improved Energy

The direct attachment of the prosthesis reduces the effort while moving, improving energy efficiency and fatigue during activities.

Full Prosthetic Control

Osseointegration allows for better proprioception of the prosthesis, enabling more accurate sensory feedback.

Better Mobility & Stability

Improved muscle strength and coordination, allowing for more natural and efficient movements.

Better Fit

Osseointegration offers a customized fit for each person, ensuring optimal alignment and fit of the prosthesis.

History of Osseointegration

Advancements in orthopaedics and medical technology have transformed the lives of individuals who have experienced limb loss. Discover the origins of Osseointegration surgery and its evolution across time, from its beginnings, to surgical technique refinements, and advancements to the prosthesis.
