What is osseointegration?

Osseointegration is a groundbreaking technique where a prosthetic implant is directly anchored into the bone – creating a stronger, more natural connection.

It allows for superior load transfer, improved movement awareness (proprioception), and enhanced overall function.

The result? Greater mobility, comfort, and long-term quality of life for patients.

Am I a candidate?

Osseointegration is an advanced treatment that helps people with amputations connect their prosthetic limb directly to the bone (bone anchored prosthesis). Instead of relying on a socket that fits over the skin and soft tissue, a specialised implant is placed into the bone and attached to the prosthesis. This gives a stronger, more natural connection and often makes walking, moving, and living with a prosthetic limb much easier and more comfortable.

The people who benefit most from osseo-integration are those who struggle with socket-based prostheses. If you have problems such as pain, skin irritation, sweating, or difficulty keeping your prosthesis on comfortably, osseo-integration may be an option.

The treatment is best for motivated patients who are ready to commit to the rehabilitation process. For many, it can mean greater comfort, improved movement, and the chance to return to daily activities with confidence.
