| Abstract |
The percutaneous osseointegrated (OI) prostheses have greatly improved the overall quality of life for amputees. However, the long-term maintenance of the OI prostheses is still challenging. A major problem is bone resorption around the bone-implant-skin interface, which might cause implant loosening or osteomyelitis. Another problem is the breakage of connecting components between the intramedullary implant and external prosthesis due to excessive stress. We designed a novel osseointegration implant by changing the bone-implant contact from the inner cortex to the outer surface of cortical bone. In the current study, we compared the extramedullary cap-shaped implants with the intramedullary screw-type implants in rabbits. Osteointegration was confirmed at the interface of bone to implant contact (BIC) in both implant types. The external implant induced intramedullary bone regeneration in the medullary canal and increased the cortical bone density at the end of the stump. This study provides a new perspective on the design of osseointegration implants which might prevent the currently reported complications of the intramedullary OI systems. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 March 2022.
All research outputs
#15,164,620
of 23,322,966 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
#2,275
of 6,965 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#268,372
of 514,535 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
#157
of 588 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,322,966 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,965 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.6. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 61% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 514,535 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 588 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 68% of its contemporaries.
