The implant is implanted for life and does not need to be replaced.
The process of complete bone integration with the implant takes 6 to 9 months, at which point the patient achieves complete freedom of movement. Until that time, the patient walks and uses their endo-exo prosthesis, but not at full loads.
The system’s construction protects the bone from fracturing. In case of greater loads, the safety pin gives way, and the bone remains intact.
Implants are made from an alloy of cobalt, chromium and molybdenum (CoCrMo) surrounded by a layer made from an alloy of titanium and niobium (TiNb). These materials work very well with the human body, and allergic reactions are extremely rare.
In the future, there is a chance that funds for osseointegration procedures will largely be included in the “Active Local Government” program from PFRON, which recently took a positive approach to activity level “4” (this is the highest level of activity for patients after amputation) and transferred amounts over 100,000 PLN to patients for prostheses. We note that osseointegration has been available in Poland since May 24, 2021, and it can be safely said that this is activity at level “5”.
We are waiting for positive actions from PFRON and expect good solutions that they have been creating for the disabled for 30 years.
Yes, absolutely!
Osseointegration allows for increased physical activity after amputation, it allows practicing sports. With endo-exo you can, for example, freely swim in the sea or pool.
The procedure is intended for people after limb amputations who have difficulties wearing traditional prostheses. The decision on qualification is made after medical consultation and health assessment.
Yes – the procedure is performed by experienced surgeons using proven titanium implants. We also use modern antiseptic techniques that minimize the risk of infection.
Yes. The implants have been designed with maximum safety in mind. In case of heavy overload, the so-called safety pin works, which undergoes controlled damage – thanks to this, the patient’s bone is protected.
Implants are made from advanced medical materials: cobalt, chromium and molybdenum alloy (CoCrMo), covered with a layer of titanium and niobium (TiNb). Allergic reactions to these materials are extremely rare, and their integration with the organism is excellent.
Definitely yes! Osseointegration enables much greater physical activity than traditional prostheses. You can walk, run, ride a bike, and even swim in the sea or pool – endo-exo prostheses are moisture-resistant and adapted to various conditions.
