JBJS Rev. 2024 Jul 5;12(7). doi: 10.2106/JBJS.RVW.24.00048. eCollection 2024 Jul 1.

Abstract

» The purpose of this article was to review the multidisciplinary, team-based approach necessary for the optimal management of patients with limb loss undergoing osseointegration surgery.» In this study, we describe the interdisciplinary process of screening, counseling, and surgical and rehabilitation considerations with an emphasis on principles rather than specific implants or techniques.» Integrated perioperative management and long-term surveillance are crucial to ensure the best possible outcomes.» We hope this model will service as an implant-agnostic guide to others seeking to development an osseointegration center of excellence.
