Osseointegration’s effect on balance and perceived function in lower leg amputees: A critically appraised topic

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Clinical Scenario: Lower extremity amputees commonly experience socket prosthesis (SP) complications that interfere with their perceived function and quality of life. Osseointegration (OI) is a new technique that requires implantation of the prosthesis directly into the intramedullary shaft of the residual limb. This alternative may be an answer for amputees who struggle with their SP and desire to regain comfortable and confident function with their prosthesis.
