In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The currently accepted standard for rehabilitation and mobility following amputation is a socket-mounted prosthesis. Osseointegration is an alternative method that has gradually gained greater acceptance in the last 30 years. It is defined as a procedure in which a metal implant is directly anchored to the residual bone, attached to a prosthetic limb using a transcutaneous connector. The advantages of osseointegrated prostheses over conventional socket prostheses include stable fixation, significant increases in walking ability, range of motion and control of the prosthesis, and health-related quality of life. Moreover, bodyweight distribution results more similar to physiological conditions. No formal consensus exists for osseointegration surgery. However, based on the positive clinical experience, surgeons currently indicate this surgery for those patients who show poor tolerance of
