Incidence of amputees who could benefit from an osseointegrated prosthesis
Our analysis of the NIS reveals that 745 US civilians per year, including 603 AKA and 142 AEA patients, may be candidates for an osseointegrated percutaneous prosthetic system. This amounts to an estimated incidence of 2/million/year in the US population.
