Advantages of customization of osseointegrated implants in transfemoral amputees: a comparative analysis of surgical planning
The OsteoCustom stem performed better than the commercial stem by preserving more cortical bone and achieving a greater stem-bone contact area, especially at distal resection levels where the shape of the medullary canal exhibits more inter-subject variability. Optimal fit in the distal region is of paramount importance for ensuring the stability of osseointegrated implants. This study highlights the potential benefits of customized osseointegrated stems in accommodating a broader range of femoral anatomies, with enhanced fit in the medullary canal.
