Bone-anchored implants for direct attachment of external prostheses for persons with transfemoral amputation: Protocol for a systematic review
Download2021-10-15
This is a protocol for a systematic review of clinical outcomes, complications and adverse events, patient experiences, and health economic literature on bone-anchored prostheses for persons with transfemoral amputation.

Development and Experimental Validation of an Impactor for Osseointegrated Transfemoral Implant Stability Assessment
DownloadFall 2024
Osseointegrated transfemoral implants are a promising alternative for individuals who are unable to use a socket prosthesis; it is generally accepted that bone-anchored prostheses can improve patient quality of life. Osseointegration is the long-term process of implant anchorage in bone, caused...

Mathematical and Experimental Modelling of the Dynamic Response of the Transfemoral Bone Implant System and Bone Anchored Hearing Aids and its Potential Application to the Non-invasive Evaluation of Implant Stability
DownloadFall 2023
Osseointegrated implants rely on the direct structural and functional attachment of an implant to the surrounding bone tissues. These implants are used in various fields including dentistry, bone conduction hearing and lower-limb amputations. Determining the quality of the bond between the...

Stabillity Assessment of Osseointegrated Transfemoral Bone-Implant Systems using Finite Element Modal Analysis
Download2022-06-01
Mohamed, Mostafa, Raboud, Don, Hebert, Jacqueline S., Westover, Lindsey
The dynamic response of osseointegrated implant systems can be used to evaluate the condition of the bone-implant interface (BII) and implant stability. The primary objective of this work is to develop a simplified dynamic 1D finite element (FE) model of the OPL transfemoral amputation (TFA)...
