Osseointegration improves quality of life
Osseointegration is a way to an active and better life for patients after limb amputation. This innovative method improves quality of life through:
Longer prosthesis usage time (24 hours a day),
Full range of limb motion,
Better proprioception (increased sensation of ground and limb position),
Ease of putting on and taking off the prosthesis (5-7 seconds),
Greater freedom of movement,
Stable connection of prosthesis to body,
Comfort while sitting (no socket pinching),
Smooth and safe walking,
Improved mobility,
Full control over the prosthesis,
Good load transfer,
No chafing caused by socket,
Reduction of perceived pain,
Natural hip joint movement.
Osseointegration is designed to serve patients with conventional socket prostheses who cannot be effectively rehabilitated
This method is successfully used in orthopedics in patients after upper and lower limb amputations. It may also be necessary due to congenital defects, diseases or injuries, such as traffic accidents, electric shock or limb crushing. These procedures are particularly recommended for people leading an active lifestyle. The strong connection of the implant with the bone allows patients to quickly return to physical activity, and within a year after surgery enables even engagement in intensive forms of movement, such as running. All people after amputation are potential candidates for osseointegration.
