摘 要:Osseointegrated transcutaneous implants could provide an alternative and improved means of attaching artificial limbs for amputees,however epithelial down growth,inflammation,and infections are common failure modalities associated with their *** overcome these problems,a tight seal associated with the epidermal and dermal adhesion to the implant is *** could be achieved with specific biomaterials(that mimic the surrounding tissue),or a tissue-specific design to enhance the proliferation and attachment of dermal fibroblasts and *** intraosseous transcutaneous amputation prosthesis is a new device with a pylon and a flange,which is specifically designed for optimising soft tissue *** the flange has been fabricated using traditional machining techniques,however,the advent of additive layer manufacturing(ALM)has enabled 3-dimensional porous flanges with specific pore sizes to be used to optimise soft tissue integration and reduce failure of osseointegrated transcutaneous *** study aimed to investigate the effect of ALM-manufactured porous flanges on soft tissue ingrowth and attachment in an in vivo ovine model that replicates an osseointegrated percutaneous *** 12 and 24 weeks,epithelial downgrowth,dermal attachment and revascularisation into ALM-manufactured flanges with three different pore sizes were compared with machined controls where the pores were made using conventional *** pore sizes of the ALM flanges were 700,1000 and 1250μ*** hypothesised that ALM porous flanges would reduce downgrowth,improve soft tissue integration and revascularisation compared with machined *** results supported our hypothesis with significantly greater soft tissue integration and revascularisation in ALM porous flanges compared with machined controls.
