The Osseointegration Group of Australia provides a team approach to assist amputees with the possibility of greater and more effortless mobility using the newest innovation in the field of prosthetics, the OGAP-OPL. Through osseointegration surgery Dr Munjed Al Muderis and The Osseointegration Group of Australia provide above and below knee amputees with a leg replacement using the OGAP-OPL implan

t which is designed to be a close to the human anatomy as possible. The surgery involves an implant being inserted into an amputee’s femur or tibia which, when integrated with the bone allows for a simple, quick, safe connection between the stump and the lower prosthesis. Osseointegration surgery provides amputees with greater mobility, comfort and quality of life.

The bone-anchored prosthesis is where a titanium implant is integrated into the residual bone of the amputated limb.

Thanks to a stable and direct connection, patients may find walking feels more natural and predictable, particularly on uneven ground, stairs, and during longer periods of wear.

Can you lift weights with osseointegration? Yes you can.

Osseointegration is a bone-anchored prosthesis that removes the socket by connecting the prosthesis directly to a titanium implant fixed within the bone.

As the OPL implant itself is made out of titanium, it is capable of supporting large loads for high-impact activity and normal usage. This means patients can return to lifting weights and visiting the gym.

Traditional socket prosthetics may affect an amputee's movement control, balance and limb function.

The bone-anchored prosthesis removes socket-related limitations, such as skin irritation, sweating, movement within the socket, and reduced control. With a stable connection via the implant and clamp connector, patients may find walking feels more natural and predictable, particularly on uneven ground, stairs, and during longer periods of wear.

Amputation level can be a common worry for individuals when considering whether osseointegration is a suitable option.

Osseointegration is suitable for both above-knee and below-knee amputees. Below-knee amputees may face socket discomfort and skin breakdown due to increased weight bearing on their stump. However, osteointegration may help stability, mobility and proprioception once more.
