How To Improve Patient Selection in Individuals With Lower Extremity Amputation Using a Bone-anchored Prosthesis

Clinical Orthopaedics & Related Research
Background Many patients with a lower limb socket-suspended prothesis experience socket-related problems, such as pain, chronic skin conditions, and mechanical problems, and as a result, health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is often negatively affected. A bone-anchored prosthesis can overcome these problems and improve HRQoL,

Mechanical loading of bone-anchored implants during functional performance tests in service members with transfemoral limb loss

Frontiers in Rehabilitation Sciences
IntroductionFor individuals with limb loss, bone-anchored implants create a direct structural and functional connection to a terminal prosthesis. Here, we characterized the mechanical loads distal to the abutment during several functional performance ...

Impact of soft tissue augmentation procedures on esthetics and patient satisfaction in the treatment of peri‐implant buccal soft tissue dehiscences: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract The aim of this systematic review was to assess the performance of soft tissue augmentation (STA) procedures, with or without a modification of the prosthetic rehabilitation, for the treatment of buccal peri‐implant soft tissue dehiscence (PSTD) in terms of esthetics and patient‐reported outcomes.

Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.
