Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A transdermal intraosseous device for coupling a bone stump to an external prosthetic device includes a bone fixator, an external connector and a plurality of modular interface components. The bone fixator includes a proximal portion configured for anchoring into the bone stump of the patient and a distal portion including a base collar configured for subcutaneous implantation. The external connector has a distal portion for coupling to the external prosthetic device and a proximal portion for coupling to the distal portion of the bone fixator. Each interface component can be removably coupled to the base collar and has different size and shape to provide a surgeon-selected transition between the prosthetic device and the patient's skin.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of implanting a transdermal intraosseous device for coupling an external prosthetic device to a bone stump, the method comprising: implanting a bone fixator in an intramedullary canal of the bone stump; connecting subcutaneously a first component of a transdermal adapter to a distal portion of the bone fixator; covering a dome-shaped portion of the first component with skin from the bone stump; allowing the skin to heal over a porous layer of…
