A Literature Review on The Application of Osseointegration Technology in Prosthetics

The field of Osseo-integrated prostheses has garnered significant interest from both specialists and individuals who have undergone amputations. This innovative technology has numerous significant benefits that enhance the amputee's quality of life, promote their autonomy, increase their range of motion, and alleviate their discomfort. Furthermore, osseointegration offers a crucial function called Osseo-perception, which allows the individual to experience a comprehensive sensation of their new prosthetic limb. Furthermore, osseointegration possesses restrictions that necessitate ongoing research and advancements in order to attain the best equilibrium and utmost advantage from this crucial procedure. The present study offers a thorough examination of the existing literature on Osseo-integrated prostheses, focusing on their benefits and limitations, the various systems that utilize this concept, the surgical methods employed, the use of surface enhancements, and the choice of suitable materials for different implant systems. Since the objective is to trace the factual development of this revolutionary field over time, an extensive search was conducted for several studies and theses about this subject, spanning from its inception to the most recent advancements and updates, without any temporal limitations imposed on the date of the study.
