Comparison of conventional socket attachment and bone-anchored prosthesis for persons living with transfemoral amputation - mobility and quality of life

Large differences in the measured outcomes in both groups illustrate the very different capabilities of the individual participants, which is apparently not primarily determined by the type of treatment. For patients who are satisfied with the socket treatment and perform well, bone-anchored prosthesis systems may not necessarily improve their functional capabilities and perceived quality of life.
