A Revolutionary Prosthetic Solution Now Available in Turkey
What is Osseointegration?
Osseointegration, also known as Direct Skeletal Fixation (DSK), is an innovative procedure that involves embedding a prosthetic implant directly into the residual bone of an amputee. This advanced technique allows for the direct attachment of an external prosthesis to the skeleton, eliminating the need for traditional socket-mounted prosthetics.
Many patients are concerned about whether the cause of their amputation affects their suitability for osseointegration. While trauma is the leading cause of amputations, infections resulting from joint replacements are also common reasons. Patients who have undergone radiation therapy at the amputation site should consult their healthcare provider, as it may impact the procedure’s outcomes. However, osseointegration remains a viable option for many, offering significant benefits in terms of comfort, mobility, and pain reduction.
Why Choose Osseointegration?
Experience improved prosthetic integration and comfort.
Reduce the discomfort often associated with traditional prosthetics.
Begin your recovery and return to daily activities sooner.
Benefit from reduced overall costs by eliminating the need for a second surgery.
Originally introduced as a two-stage process, osseointegration involved inserting an intramedullary component, followed by a 6-8 week healing period, and then a second surgery to attach the external components. Since 2014, advancements by Professor Munjed Al Muderis have revolutionized this procedure. The new single-stage surgery technique and implant design eliminate the need for a second operation, reducing risks and enhancing soft tissue management. This modern approach accelerates rehabilitation, allows for an earlier return to daily activities, and reduces overall costs.
