Osseointegration pioneer Munjed Al Muderis, MB ChB, FRACS, FAOrthA, an orthopedic surgeon at Macquarie University Hospital in Sydney, Australia, has just published research in The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery indicating that there are minimal risks for severe infection with osseointegrated implants.
Dr.
Muderis and his colleagues made use of a new infection classification system, and tracked adverse events in 86 patients (91 implants) who received an osseointegrated implant. For each patient, the procedure in two stages: a porous-coated implant was placed in the femur bone, then an opening was created to attach the prosthesis.
The results: 31 patients had no side effects or complications related to the osseointegration system, 29 patients developed a grade one or two infectio
