Effect of a distal weight-bearing implant on visual analog scale scores in 23 transfemoral amputees

The objective of this interrupted time series clinical trial was to evaluate the
effect of a distal weight-bearing implant on well-being in patients with
transfemoral amputations using the visual analog scale (VAS).
A total of 29
patients from five hospitals with previous transfemoral amputations were
surgically implanted with an osseoanchored implant with a distal spacer that
allows a direct load on the residuum over the distal surface of the socket.
Patients were followed for a 14-month period and assessed presurgically and
postsurgically using the VAS. The Wilcoxon test was used to evaluate the
differences between variables. VAS mean scores improved significantly after
intervention. Significant and clinically meaningful improvements in the VAS score
suggest overall improvement in well-being for patients after receiving a distal
weight-bearing implant.
