Introduction
 Osseo-Integrated Prosthesis- An external
prosthesis directly attached to appendicular
skeleton transcutaneously by osseointegration
using an intramedullary implant.
 Osseointegration- Direct bone anchorage to
an implant body that can provide a bone
foundation to support prosthesis.
 Pioneer design by Per-Ingvar Branemark,
Professor of Biotechnology,
university of Goteborg, Sweden.
 First human experiment
 1990 in Sweden

Implant
material
Factors deciding material
 Tissue reaction – Foreign body reaction
 Bio film formation- Glycocalyx biofilm formed
by Gram positive bacteria preventing antibiotic
penetration in conventional materials.
Materials suited- Titanium and
Chromium- cobalt- Molybdenum
Advantages of Titanium
 Inert to corrosion (titanium oxide film on
implant)
 Reduces foreign body reaction by deactivating
inflammatory cells
 Doesn’t let biofilm to settle
 Titanium stimulate stem cells to differentiate to
osteoblasts (improve osseointegration)
5
Physiology
of Osseo-
Integration
 Initially, Woven bone formation over
interphase- immature connective tissue
over which a thin layer of bone is laid down
 Final phase- about 4 months of implant
placement- lamellar bone formation
 Currently implant surface is coated with
osteoconductive hydroxyapatite –
stimulates bone growth into coating

Osseo
Integrated
Prosthesis
for
Rehabilitatio
n of
Amputee
(OPRA)
 Introduced in 1998
 Titanium with hydroxyapatite porous coating
 3 parts
1. Fixture- threaded cylindrical implant that interdigitates into
the stump bone.
2. Abutement- percutaneous component that press fits to the
distal end of fixture
3. Abutement Screw- Connect fixture to abutement
 Minimum 12cm bone length is required for its fixation
 Suited for long bones and digits
 Weight bearing after 3 to 18 months

Osseo
Integrated
Prosthesis
for
Rehabilitatio
n of
Amputee
(OPRA)
 Two Surgical Stages
I. Fixture is fixed to medullary canal of stump
bone.
 Left for 6 months for soft tissue closure and bone
graft incorporation
 Can mobilize with socket mounted prosthesis
with protection to implant
II. A stoma is created for abutement to be
fixed to fixture
9
OPRA
10
OPRA
For thumb amputation-
Provides pincer grasp as well
as sensation through Osseo-
perception
11
Osseo-
Perception
 Osseo-Perception is the term used to describe
the ability of patients with Osseo-integrated
fixtures to identify tactile thresholds transmitted
through their prostheses.
 Various studies have suggested the measured
perception of vibration with an osseointegrated
amputation prosthesis in place was generally
comparable to that of the normal contralateral
hand or foot.
12
Rehabilitatio
n protocol
after OPRA
Phase 1 – management of pain and
swelling
 Gentle residual limb massage for
lymphatic drainage
 Positioning and strengthening
exercises
13
Rehabilitatio
n protocol
after OPRA
 Phase 2 – Prosthetic fitting and
progressive weight bearing.
 Progressive weight bearing by axillary
crutches followed by Canadian crutch
 Gait training with parallel bar
 Gradual increase in prosthetic time
14
Rehabilitatio
n protocol
after OPRA
 Phase 3- Definite prosthesis
15
Stoma Care
 Daily cleaning and
covering with a
clean gauze and
cover with a
silicone cap.

Indications
 Very short stump
 Recurrent skin infection and ulceration
 Soft tissue scarring
 Volume fluctuation of stump
 Extensive skin scarring or grafts
 Skin allergies
 Conventional socket intolerable-
Discomfort, pain, Poor suspension and
excessive perspiration
 Age group 18-70 years

Advantages
vs
Disadvantag
es
Advantages Disadvantages
Osseo perception
(Ability of patients with
OIPs to identify sensory
thresholds through
prosthesis)
Poor availability
No Socket fitting issues Expensive
No issue with excessive
perspiration
Unexplained vague pain
Skin irritation and
pressure sores
eliminated
Osteomyelitis risk
Easy donning and doffing
21
Contraindicatio
ns
 Age more than 70 years
 Body weight more than 100 kg
 Severe PVDs
 Diabetes
 Osteopenia and osteoporosis
 Pregnancy
 Corticosteroid and immunosuppressant drug use
 Ongoing Chemotherapy
 Skeletal Immaturity
 Irradiated limbs
 Mental illness
 Questionable compliance
22
Socket
Mounted vs
OIP
 Psychological benefit- Patient feels the
prosthesis is “part of me”
 Gait parameters- Duration of gait cycle, cadence
etc is more close to normal people in OIPs
compared to Socket mounted.
 Compliance- Prosthetic Compliance is much
better in OIPs.
 Socket related problems negated- Skin
problems, Balance issues, alignment issues,
Degenerative arthritis due to
malalignment ,skin break down etc
23
Functional
Evaluation of
OIP
 Q-TFA- Questionnaires of persons with
transfemoral amputation
 SF36- Short form 36
 6 Minute Walk test
 Time up and Go test (TUG)
 Physiological cost index
24
Future of
osseointegrati
on
 Current research is directed towards OIPs
for higher level amputations like
hemipelvectomy or hip disarticulation.
 Techniques to prevent infections.
