Journal ArticleDOI
Consequences of non-vascular trans-femoral amputation: A survey of quality of life, prosthetic use and problems
TL;DR: General HRQL was significantly lower than Swedish age- and gender-matched norms in all dimensions as measured by SF-36 and efforts to improve the physical and the psychological well-being for this group, with a long life expectancy, are needed.
Journal Article
One hundred patients treated with osseointegrated transfemoral amputation prostheses--rehabilitation perspective.
TL;DR: The OPRA rehabilitation protocol is graded to stimulate the process of osseointegration and prepare the patient for unrestricted prosthetic use and illustrates the overall results.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel osseointegrated percutaneous prosthetic system for the treatment of patients with transfemoral amputation: A prospective study of 51 patients
TL;DR: The high cumulative survival rate at two years (92%) combined with enhanced prosthetic use and mobility, fewer problems and improved quality of life, supports the 'revolutionary change' that patients with TFA have reported following treatment with osseointegrated percutaneous prostheses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Osseointegrated titanium implants for limb prostheses attachments: infectious complications.
TL;DR: Despite frequent colonization around the skin-implant interface by potentially virulent bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and bacteria associated with biomedical device infections such as coagulase-negative staphylitis, this titanium implant system for bone-anchored prostheses caused few infections leading to disability or implant removal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Osseointegrated trans-femoral amputation prostheses: Prospective results of general and condition-specific quality of life in 18 patients at 2-year follow-up
TL;DR: In this article, the first report on prospective outcome for individuals treated with bone-anchored trans-femoral amputation prostheses (OI-prostheses) using the method of osseointegration was presented.
