Finite Element Analysis of Transhumeral and Transtibial Percutaneous Osseointegrated Endoprosthesis Implantation

Cadaveric mechanical testing of a percutaneous osseointegration docking system (PODS) for osseointegration (OI) prosthetic limb attachment revealed that translation of the exact system from the humerus to the tibia may not be suitable. The PODS, designed specifically for the humerus achieved 1.4–4.8...
