Thermal Effects during Bone Preparation and Insertion of Osseointegrated Transfemoral Implants

Thermal Effects during Bone Preparation and Insertion of Osseointegrated Transfemoral Implants

Background: The preparation of bone for the insertion of an osseointegrated transfemoral implant and the insertion process are performed at very low speeds in order to avoid thermal damages to bone tissue which may potentially jeopardize implant stability. The aim of this study was to quantify the t...
