Osseointegration has been used for prosthetic fixation since nineteen sixties. It
is for example used in the dental and maxillofacial science. In 1990 started the osseointegration
(OI) programme for upper extremity in Sweden. The treatment involves two surgical
procedures and results in bone anchorage attachment of prosthesis. On upper limb has
this method been used for transhumeral- (TH), trans-radial (TR), thumb- and partial
hand amputation. The method is also used for lower limb amputee.
Several papers and presentations in this topic have been presented at conferences
and journals over the years. The aim of this presentation is to show some of the differences
of an OI prosthesis compared to socket prosthesis. Procedures, constructions/fabrication,
and function parameters will be lift up and how does OI effect on the Prosthetists
role.
