Press-Fit Bone-Anchored Prosthesis for Individuals with Transtibial Amputation. [PDF]
Background: This video article describes the use of bone-anchored prostheses for patients with transtibial amputations, most often resulting from trauma, infection, or dysvascular disease. Large studies have shown that about half of all patients with a socket-suspended artificial limb experience limited mobility and limited ...

Revision of Press-Fit Bone-Anchored Prosthesis After Implant Failure. [PDF]
Background: The present video article describes the revision of a bone-anchored prosthesis in patients who received an osseointegration implant after transfemoral amputation. Clinical follow-up studies have shown that approximately 5% of all patients who receive press-fit cobalt-chromium alloy femoral implants experience ...

Neuromuscular adaptations after osseointegration of a bone-anchored prosthesis in a unilateral transfemoral amputee - a case study. [PDF]
Many individuals with a lower limb amputation experience problems with the fitting of the socket of their prosthesis, leading to dissatisfaction or device rejection. Osseointegration (OI)- the implantation of a shaft directly interfacing with the remaining bone- is an alternative for these patients. In this observational study, we investigated how bone

Facial reconstruction with a bone-anchored prosthesis following destructive cancer surgery. [PDF]
Reconstruction of craniofacial defects following cancer surgery may be performed using several techniques and materials. This case report describes surgery for a large tumor, as well as the rehabilitation process which involved a craniofacial prosthesis covering the whole defect of the anterior brain, orbit, mid-face and hard palate.

Oxygen consumption and gait dynamics in transfemoral bone-anchored prosthesis users compared to socket-prosthesis users: A cross-sectional study [PDF]
A transfemoral bone-anchored prosthesis (BAP) is an alternative for the conventional socket-suspended prosthesis (SSP) in persons suffering from socket-related problems. In these persons, it has been demonstrated to reduce oxygen consumption during walking, which could be related to centre of mass (CoM) and trunk dynamics. However, it remains uncertain

Automated Characterization of Anthropomorphicity of Prosthetic Feet Fitted to Bone-Anchored Transtibial Prosthesis [PDF]
This study describes differentiating prosthetic feet designs fitted to bone-anchored transtibial prostheses based on an automated characterization of ankle stiffness profile relying on direct loading measurements. The objectives were (A) to present a process characterizing stiffness using innovative macro, meso and micro analyses, (B) to present ...

The objectives of this study were to (1) record the inner-prosthesis loading during activities of daily living (ADLs), (2) present a set of variables comparing loading data, and (3) provide an example of characterization of two prostheses. The load was measured at 200 Hz using a multi-axial transducer mounted between the residuum and the knee of an ...
