Percutaneous osseointegrated (OI) implants for direct skeletal attachment of upper extremity prosthetics represent an alternative to traditional socket suspension that may yield improved patient function and satisfaction. This is especially true in high-level, transhumeral amputees where prosthetic fitting challenging abandonment rates remain high. However, maintaining mechanical integrity the bone-implant interface crucial safe clinical introduction this technology. The collection...

Purpose To deploy and quantify the accuracy of 3D dual echo steady state (DESS) MR arthrography with hip traction to image acetabular cartilage. Clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences used cartilage often have reduced out‐of‐plane resolution may lack adequate signal‐to‐noise Materials Methods Saline was injected into four cadaver hips placed under traction. DESS MRI scans were obtained before after cores harvested from acetabulum; two MRIs spatially aligned reference core...

Percutaneous osseointegrated (OI) prosthetic limb attachment holds promise for transhumeral amputees. Understanding humeral medullary morphology is necessary informed design of upper extremity OI systems, and beneficial to the field megaprosthetic reconstruction distal humerus where diaphyseal fixation desired. The purpose this study was quantify sex laterality differences in morphology, specifically over diaphysis. Three-dimensional surface reconstructions 58 pairs cadaveric humeri (43...

Percutaneous osseointegrated (OI) devices for amputees are metallic endoprostheses, that surgically implanted into the residual stump bone and protrude through skin, allowing attachment of an exoprosthetic limb. In contrast to standard socket suspension systems, these percutaneous OI provide superior platforms artificial limbs. However, adaptation, which includes atrophy and/or hypertrophy along extent host bone-endoprosthetic interface, is seen clinically depends upon where device...

Percutaneous osseointegrated (OI) implants are increasingly viable as an alternative to socket suspension of prosthetic limbs. Upper extremity prostheses have also become more complex better replicate hand and arm function attempt recreate pre-amputation functional levels. With functionality comes heavier devices that put stress on the bone-implant interface, which could be issue for implant stability. This study quantified transhumeral loading at defined amputation levels using four...

Abstract Osseointegration (OI) is being used for the direct skeletal attachment of prosthetic limbs using an intramedullary stem that extends percutaneously from subject's residual limb. For this technology to be successful, bone ingrowth and remodeling around implant must occur. Physicians need effective way assess make informed treatment rehabilitation decisions. Previous studies utilizing two‐dimensional imaging X‐ray as a tool monitor bone‐remodeling OI devices have limitations. This...
