UK trial of the Osseointegrated Prosthesis for the Rehabilitation for Amputees: 1995-2018.

Background:: Amputation of a limb impacts on patients' self-perception and quality of life. Prostheses directly anchored to the skeleton are being investigated, aiming to avoid soft tissue complications.

Objectives:: We report outcome data for the UK trial of the Osseointegrated Prosthesis for the Rehabilitation of Amputees Implant System with a minimum of 9-year follow-up.

The impact a surgeon has on primary amputee prosthetic rehabilitation: A survey of residual lower limb quality.

Background: Substantial improvements have been perceived in surgical results following major lower limb amputation, but there remains observed variation in amputation quality for patients referred for prosthetic rehabilitation from different hospitals.

Objectives: To assess various elements that influence residual limb quality and evaluate their impact on progress through initial prosthetic rehabilitation and mobility outcome after rehabilitation.

Study Design: Clinical survey.
