Load characteristics following transfemoral amputation in individuals fitted with bone-anchored prostheses: a scoping review protocol

“…14 Fixations are surgically inserted following a one or two-step procedure depending on treatment protocols. [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] To date, the most acknowledged surgical procedure relies on fixation with a screw-type design implanted into the residual femur. 12,15,[18][19][20][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] However, implantations of pressfit fixations are currently increasing at a rapid pace.…”

“…12,15,[18][19][20][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] However, implantations of pressfit fixations are currently increasing at a rapid pace. 17,21,33,[40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47] Other devices are currently at various stages of development, particularly in Europe and the United States. 13, All fixations commercially available include a medullar part directly connected to the femur providing a solid union between living bone and device.…”

Rehabilitation programs after the implantation of transfemoral osseointegrated fixations for bone-anchored prostheses: a systematic review protocol

“…Problems with socket-suspended prostheses led to the development of, so-called, osseointegrated fixations for bone-anchored prosthesis. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] This method of prosthetic attachment is now commonly accepted as a viable alternative to socket-suspended prostheses, particularly for young, active and nonvascular individuals with limb loss. Commercial osseointegrated fixations currently available include a medullar part directly connected to the femur, and a percutaneous part enabling external attachment of the prosthesis.…”

“…Furthermore, several other devices are currently at various stages of development, particularly in Europe and the United States. [14,16,17,[22][23][24][25][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49]…”

Biomechanical Characterisation of Bone-anchored Implant Systems for Amputation Limb Prostheses: A Systematic Review

“…In addition to these systems, implantation of a custom-made implant for attachment of an external prostheses in a transfemoral amputee has been reported in a single case study in the USA. 39 A number of other systems have been tested in animal studies, but only the AEAHBM (Alameda East Animal Hospital BioMedtrix, Boonton, USA) developed in the USA, has shown successful outcome for a load-bearing prosthetic limb for more than one year. 18 …”
