The main objective of the study is to explore the bone remodeling in order to examine long-term stability of the implant after 10 years follow-up.

Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The main study parameter is changes in bone remodelling in terms of bone
density, cortical thickness and distal bone resorption measured with DXA scans
and conventional radiographs.

Background summary
A Bone-Anchored Prosthesis (BAP) is an alternative solution to a
socket-suspended prosthesis (SSP) of upper-leg prosthesis. It allows
overcoming soft tissue problems and offers better control over the external
prosthetic system by direct attachment to the femoral remnant by means of an
osseointegrated implant (OI). By doing so, the BAP is expected to promote
increased loading of the bone and its remodelling. In an earlier study we
presented the first results of a cohort after two years of follow-up.
Study objective
The main objective of the study is to explore the bone remodeling in order to
examine long-term stability of the implant after 10 years follow-up.
Study design
The study will be a prospective cohort study.
Study burden and risks
No special risks are involved in the study. The radiological examination with
DXA scanner is an approved medical standard.
The most benefits will be present for the future patients, whose treatment will
be possibly improved by the gained knowledge.
