Rehabilitation of the transfemoral amputee with an osseointegrated prosthesis: The United Kingdom experience
Abstract
Osseointegration for the trans-femoral amputee has been used in the United Kingdom since 1997. To date, 11 candidates have undergone the procedure. The rehabilitation programme for the osseointegration candidate is a long and intensive programme following two surgical operations. This paper outlines the importance of a pre-osseointegration assessment to explore candidates' suitability and expectations for the procedure. The physical and prosthetic advantages of direct skeletal attachment have led to improvements in candidates' comfort, function and quality of life. However, some aspects of this promising developmental procedure for the management of the trans-femoral amputee need to be critically evaluated before it becomes a routine clinical procedure in the United Kingdom.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
