Background Osseointegration, an approach for direct skeletal attachment of a prosthesis to an amputated limb, may address many of the problems associated with socket prostheses. The safety of osseointegration remains uncertain. The aim of this study was to summarize evidence on functional and clinical outcomes, as well as adverse effects of osseointegration for patients with a limb amputation. Methods MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library were searched to April 2018. Eligible studies were observational, case and qualitative studies, and RCTs conducted in patients with a limb amputation, who were managed with osseointegrated prostheses and had follow‐up data. Results Twenty‐two eligible articles comprising 13 unique studies were included. No RCT was identified. Apart from three case reports that comprised one to five patients, the sample size of studies ranged from 11 to 100 participants. All relevant studies reported improvement in functional outcomes (walking ability, prosthetic use and mobility), satisfaction and quality of life following osseointegration, compared with their preoperative status or when using a conventional socket prosthesis. Infection rates ranged from 1 (95 per cent c.i. 0 to 5) to 77 (59 to 88) per cent. The majority of infections were described as low‐grade soft tissue or superficial infections related to the skin–implant interface, and were treated effectively with antibiotics. None of the studies reported additional amputation or death as a result of osseointegration. Conclusion Osseointegration after limb amputation improves prosthetic use, comfort when sitting, walking ability, mobility, gait and quality of life. However, it is associated with an increased risk of soft tissue infection.

Bone resorption caused by stress shielding and insufficient bone‐implant contact continues to be problematic for orthopedic endoprostheses that utilize osseointegration (OI) for skeletal fixation. Morphologic analyses have helped combat this issue by defining anatomic parameters to optimize endoprosthesis loading by maximizing bone‐implant contact. These studies have not typically included diaphyseal medullary morphology, as this region is not pertinent to total joint replacement. To the contrary, percutaneous OI endoprostheses for prosthetic limb attachment are placed in the diaphysis of the long bone. This study examined the cortical and medullary morphology of 116 fresh‐frozen human cadaveric tibia using computed tomography. Anatomic landmarks were selected and custom MATLAB scripts were used to analyze the cross‐sectional cortical and medullary morphology normalized to biomechanical length (BML). BML measured the distance between the tibial plateau and the tibial plafond. Properties such as cortical thickness, medullary diameter, and circularity of the medullary canal were quantified. We tested the influence of sex and laterality on morphology, and examined variations along the length of the bone. Results showed that while both sex and laterality impacted the location of anatomic landmarks, only sex influenced cross‐sectional morphology. Overall, morphology significantly affected shape along the length of the bone for all examined properties except medullary circularity. This analysis found that distal to 35% BML, the canal is conducive to a circular implant, with medullary diameter ranging from 13 to 32 mm between 20 and 80% BML. A large size range is necessary for sufficient implant contact in order to accommodate residual limb length after amputation.
