Long-term safety of OPRA implant for arm amputees
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study checks the long-term safety and how well the OPRA implant (a bone-anchored prosthetic) works for people who have an arm amputation. It is for those who already have the implant and had their second surgery at least six months ago.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an amputation in one arm or both arms.
- You already have the OPRA implant system (a metal implant that connects the bone to a prosthetic) and had the second stage of surgery before January 1, 2024.
- At least 6 months must have passed since that second surgery.
- Your implant must be the standard OPRA system, not the electronic version (e-OPRA).
- You are willing to take part and give consent.

This trial tests a small implant that reads muscle signals to help you control a prosthetic hand more naturally. You may qualify if you have a missing hand or arm below the elbow and currently use or could use a myoelectric (muscle-signal) prosthetic.
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 a new bionic arm system that connects to your nerves and muscles. It may help people who have lost an arm below the shoulder and are eligible for special surgeries to improve how a prosthetic arm works.
This study looks at a new way to control a prosthetic arm after you have had osseointegration surgery (where a metal implant is placed in your bone to attach the arm). It will help find the best settings for the muscle signals that control the arm.
This trial studies a specific shoulder replacement implant system. It may help people with damaged shoulder joints by testing how well the implant works and how it affects recovery and function.
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.
