Military study tests surgery to bolt prosthetic legs directly to bone
NCT ID NCT06636136
Summary
This study is testing a two-stage surgery called osseointegration for people with below-knee amputations. It involves implanting a metal rod into the shin bone so a prosthetic leg can be attached directly, bypassing the need for a traditional socket. The research aims to see if this improves function, reduces pain, and causes fewer skin problems compared to socket prosthetics. It will follow 30 military service members for up to 5 years after surgery.
