Serial radiographs of 241 consecutive, noninfected low friction arthroplasties performed between 1968 and 1972 were evaluated with respect to socket migration and the presence of radiolucencies, progressive or not. The number of intact sockets in 207 cases of arthrosis decreased slowly and, depending on their classification, approached 95-88 per cent about 10 years postoperatively. Contrary to previous reports, we could not observe any increase in the rate of loosening with time; half of the hips were observed for more than 10 years, and only a few cases of socket loosening were found beyond this point. In rheumatoid arthritis the number of intact sockets was significantly fewer--23 of 34--after about 10 years of service.

How To Improve Patient Selection in Individuals With Lower Extremity Amputation Using a Bone-anchored Prosthesis.
Clin Orthop Relat Res
January 2025
Department of Rehabilitation, Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen, the Netherlands.
Background: Many patients with a lower limb socket-suspended prothesis experience socket-related problems, such as pain, chronic skin conditions, and mechanical problems, and as a result, health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is often negatively affected. A bone-anchored prosthesis can overcome these problems and improve HRQoL, but these prostheses have potential downsides as well. A valid and reliable tool to assess potential candidates for surgery concerning a favorable risk-benefit ratio between potential complications related to bone-anchored prostheses and improvements in HRQoL is not available yet.

Introduction: Rhizarthrosis, or osteoarthritis of the trapeziometacarpal joint, predominantly affects women over 50, with up to 30% experiencing some degree of arthritis in this joint. Traditional surgical approaches, such as trapeziectomy with ligament reconstruction, can result in some patients in persistent pain or limited functionality. TMC ball-in-socket arthroplasty, with a cup placed in the distal scaphoid, offers a promising alternative to traditional arthrodesis or resection-suspension arthroplasty.

AOFE Clinics Oosterbeek, Oosterbeek, The Netherlands.
Objective: Transcutaneous osseointegration prosthetic systems (TOPS) offer a stable skeletal attachment for artificial limbs post-extremity amputation, serving as an alternative to socket attachment. Press-fit osseointegration implants (OI) utilized in TOPS consistently enhance quality of life and mobility for amputees, particularly those experiencing socket-related issues. Despite notable benefits, late complications such as infection and implant loosening pose challenges unique to TOPS due to their percutaneous nature.

Health Rehabilitation Group (GRES), Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, School of Medicine, University of Antioquia, Medellín, Colombia.
Background: A significant number of Colombian farmers who are transtibial amputees are civilian victims of landmines. Current prostheses are inadequately adapted for agricultural work, resulting in functional challenges in this context.
Objectives: This study aims to analyze and categorize the functional problems of transtibial prostheses in the Colombian agricultural context, incorporating perspectives from prosthesis users, manufacturers, and designers.
Intraosseous Transcutaneous Amputation Prosthesis (ITAP) compared to Exoprosthesis in veterinary medicine - a literature review.

December 2024
Department for Companion Animals and Horses, University Clinic for Small Animals, Small Animal Surgery, University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna, Austria.
Objective: This literature review aims to provide an overview of the existing literature on intraosseous transcutaneous amputation prosthesis (ITAP) and stump socket prosthesis in amputated animals. The goal is to compare the advantages and disadvantages of ITAP with exoprosthesis use, given the importance of limb-sparing procedures in contemporary veterinary medicine.
Materials And Methods: A systematic research adhering to the PRISMA protocol was conducted using a time span from 2000 to 2023, focusing on papers detailing the clinical application of ITAP or exoprosthesis in small animals.
