Osseointegration canine limb prosthesis studies: system, interface characteristics, material, manufacturer, number of patients, and outcomes.
| Study | Prosthesis system | Material | Bone- implant | Percutaneous part – soft tissue | Manufacturer | Patients | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Drygas et al. [51] | Alameda East Veterinary Hospital BioMedtrix (AEVHBM) | Ti6Al4 V alloy | Thread/press-fit | Porous tantalum | Custom-made Alameda East Veterinary Hospital, Denver CO, US |
1-dog | 14-26 months survival |
| Fitzpatrick et al. [19] | Intraosseous transcutaneous amputation prosthesis (ITAP) | Ti6Al4 V alloy | Press-fit | Polished | Custom-made Institute of Orthopaedics of University College, London, UK | 4-dogs | 12* months survival |
Outcome based on one dog only because other dogs had to be euthanized [19]. Thus, such outcome may have been reduced due to problems unrelated to the prostheses.
