Bone-anchored leg implant study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a bone-anchored implant (directly attached to the thighbone) for people with a single leg amputation above the knee. It aims to see if this implant helps with pain, movement, and skin issues caused by a traditional socket prosthetic.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have one leg amputated above the knee (thigh-level) due to injury, cancer, infection, or a birth defect.
- You already plan to get a bone-anchored (osseointegrated) implant for your amputation.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is under 35.
- You have trouble using a traditional socket prosthetic (such as pain, skin infections, or poor fit).
- You do not have certain conditions like active infections, uncontrolled diabetes, or severe bone thinning.

This trial tests a metal implant that connects directly to your shin bone, replacing the need for a socket. It's for people with below-knee amputations who have trouble using a regular prosthetic leg.
This study tests whether a new prosthetic foot can help people with a lower-limb amputation walk better. You will use your current foot and the new foot, and we will measure how well you walk.
This study compares a non-powered (mechanical) knee to a powered (battery-assisted) knee for people with above-knee amputations who walk at a moderate level (K2). It will help find out which knee type works better for your daily activities and mobility.
This study compares how people walk using an osseointegrated prosthesis (a prosthesis connected to the bone) versus a traditional socket prosthesis. It may help researchers understand which option works better for walking balance, comfort, and function.
This study tests a new device that connects a prosthetic leg directly to your thigh bone through the skin, bypassing the need for a socket. It is for people who have trouble with their current artificial leg or cannot use one at all.
This study tests a high-tech powered knee and foot for people who have a leg amputation above the knee and have (or are candidates for) a bone-anchored implant. The goal is to see if the powered prosthesis helps with walking and daily activities.
