In direct skeletal attachment (DSA) of limb prostheses, a construct is implanted into an
amputee's residuum bone and protrudes out of the residuum's skin. This technology …

Dental implants and transcutaneous prostheses (trans-femoral implants) improve the quality
of life of millions of people because they represent the optimal treatments to edentulism and …

Materials and Methods The costs of transfemoral socket prostheses and BAP were extracted
from the Queensland Artificial Limb Service's regulatory documentation according to K …

The objectives of this study were (A) to record the inner prosthesis loading during activities
of daily living (ADL),(B) to present a set of variables comparing loading data, and (C) to …

Percutaneous implants osseointegrated into the residuum of a person with limb amputation
need to provide mechanical stability and protection against infections. Although significant …

Objective: This study describes differentiating prosthetic feet designs fitted to bone-anchored
transtibial prostheses based on an automated characterization of ankle stiffness profile …

Two decades after introducing threaded titanium dental implants, Dr. Per-Ingvar Brånemark
used a similar technique in the 1980s to pioneer the direct skeletal attachment (DSA) of limb …

Socket-suspended prostheses are the predomi-nant aid used by individuals with lower limb
loss to regain mobility. 1-3 Generally, sockets are tedious to attach as a tight fit around the …

BACKGROUND. Evidences of sustainable clinical benefits of bone-anchored prosthesis
(BAP) using osseointegrated fixation over typical socket-suspended prostheses are …

This article presents recent results in the development of the skin and bone integrated pylon
(SBIP) intended for direct skeletal attachment of limb prostheses. In our previous studies of …
