Two surgical procedures necessary:First surgery: An intramedullary, cement-free bar (16 cm / 6.5 inches min.) is implanted into the femur, the wound is closed. Time for healing: approximately 6 - 8 weeks. Second surgery: Opening of the stump, implantation of the adapter (needed as interface for external prosthesis). |
What is the Integral Leg Prosthesis? |
|
The ILP is modelled on the anatomy of the human body and takes the load back to the thigh bone and hip joint when walking. The manufactuers - Orthodynamics GmbH, have many years of experience in the field of internal prosthetics and the use of state-of-the-art materials which makes this type of care possible. The ILP is implanted directly into the thigh bone facilitating a safe connection between the patient and the prosthesis. |


The ILP is a new type of prosthetic care for above-the-knee amputees making a convetional prosthesis shaft unnecessary.
