Figure 1: Pictorial summary of transcutaneous osseointegration. (a) Unassembled view of an Osseointegrated Prosthetic Limb (OPL) implant, with components arranged at the approximate proximal-distal levels in which they would be once assembled and implanted in a patient who had undergone a femoral amputation. 1, proximal cap screw; 2, OPL body; 3, safety screw; 4, dual cone abutment adapter; 5, permanent locking screw; 6, proximal connector; and 7, prosthetic connector. (b) Radiograph of OPL in a transfemoral amputee. (c) Clinical photograph of a transfemoral amputee demonstrating a healthy transcutaneous stoma for the prosthetic connection. (d) Activity representative of the stability that osseointegrated limbs can provide for amputees
