Bone Anchored Prostheses with Mike Jenks
Manage episode 418578400 series 3356176
Mike recounts his personal connection to osseointegration through his wife, who became an above-knee amputee due to cancer. Her desire for a more comfortable and functional prosthetic solution led them to explore osseointegration, a procedure that integrates the prosthesis directly with the bone, eliminating the need for a traditional socket. This experience highlighted the limitations of conventional sockets and the potential benefits of osseointegration, particularly for active individuals who struggle with the static nature of traditional prosthetic devices. Mike emphasizes the importance of understanding the patient's perspective and the psychological impact of limb loss.
The discussion shifts to the broader implications of osseointegration in the prosthetics field. Mike explains how this technology can significantly enhance the quality of life for amputees by providing a more natural and responsive connection between the prosthesis and the body. He addresses common misconceptions about the procedure, such as the risk of additional bone loss in case of infection, and highlights the thorough evaluation and patient selection process that ensures successful outcomes. Mike also touches on the role of insurance in covering osseointegration, noting that most major payers now approve the procedure.
We conclude with insights into the future of osseointegration and its potential to transform prosthetic care. Mike underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, involving surgeons, prosthetists, physical therapists, and other specialists to provide comprehensive care. He also encourages prosthetists to consider osseointegration as a valuable option for their patients, emphasizing the need for continuous education and collaboration within the medical community. The episode provides a comprehensive overview of the advancements in prosthetic technology and the profound impact these innovations can have on the lives of amputees.
