Dear Dave,
Many thanks for your request for publications focusing on the provision of MPK for patients fitted with transfemoral bone-anchored prosthesis (BAP).
Below is a list of selected publications justifying the biomechanical benefits[1-5], reduction of risk of fall [6-8] and cost-effectiveness[9-11] of provision of MKP for transfemoral BAP.
Incidentally, all these publications and other ones focusing on various aspects of osseointegration for lower limb loss are available and free from: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__eprints.qut.edu.au_view_person_Frossard-2C-5FLaurent.html&d=DwIFAw&c=sJ6xIWYx-zLMB3EPkvcnVg&r=KmuawjwNpT9A2bnhzaNVjw8wO7L_TDosEXIk33h_tlw&m=LPbGiErhQumOAXSlQfb3LoHPVWb__q8hw-9kUQj42HQ&s=cO_ymy439pELNd6xql-LWSArrRPhtAV2TV-3c3pu-Gs&e= .
Please, do not hesitate contacting me ([email protected]
All best for the treatment of your patient.
Kind regards.

Subject: [OANDP-L] MPK for osseointegration doccumetation needed
I have a patient who has had an osseointegration and is in need of a microprocessor knee. Is there any research or info available that supports the use of an MPK for osseointegration? I have heard lectures that state this is the protocol to remove stress on the implant/femur and reduce complications. I am trying to win the battle with the paying source. Any info that is published would be very helpful for our appeal.
Thank you,
