FE stress analysis of the interface between the bone and an osseointegrated implant for amputees–implications to refine the rehabilitation program
BACKGROUND: The direct anchorage of lower-limb prosthesis to the bone has been shown
to be an excellent alternative for amputees experiencing complications in using a
conventional prosthetic socket. During rehabilitation phase, amputees are asked to apply
static loading on the abutment perpendicular to a weigh scale to prepare the bone to tolerate
the forces likely to be developed during walking. The weigh scale measures only the vertical
force. A different loading protocol can affect the bone–implant interface stresses and the …
