Osseointegrated prostheses require regular maintenance and follow-up care, including adjustments, component replacements, and routine examinations. Prosthetists can be vital in providing these services, ensuring patients’ long-term functionality and satisfaction with osseointegrated prostheses.
Currently, osseointegration is a niche within orthopaedics. Limb osseointegration represents a growing field within the prosthetic industry, with increasing awareness and adoption. By incorporating osseointegration into their practice, prosthetists can tap into this expanding market and attract new patients seeking this advanced solution.
Since there is a high need for trained prosthetists who can ensure the maintenance of patients using osseointegration, prosthetists can leverage collaborative opportunities with Osseointegration Group. This collaboration can lead to a shared referral network, where prosthetists can receive referrals for post-implantation prosthetic care and maintenance.
Limb osseointegration can be an alternative solution for individuals experiencing socket prosthesis problems offering significant benefits and transforming their lives.
By offering osseointegration as an alternative, prosthetists can address the needs of patients dissatisfied with traditional socket prostheses.
Some patient groups could benefit the most from osseointegration´s clinical benefits:
It important to note that each patient’s suitability should be assessed individually, considering their overall health, bone condition, and specific needs. Collaborating with an experienced osseointegration team can help determine the most appropriate candidates and ensure the best outcomes for each patient.
Additionally, providing osseointegration as an option can enhance patient satisfaction, leading to increased loyalty and word-of-mouth referrals. Additionally, prosthetists can continue to serve patients who may not be suitable candidates for osseointegration or prefer socket prostheses, ensuring a steady patient base.
