ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Until recently, no study had compared the quality of life of persons with transfemoral amputation treated with osseointegration to socket prosthesis users.OBJECTIVES:
Comparison of quality of life in two types of prostheses users a cohort of patients with osseointegration and patients equipped with a socket prosthesis who were group-matched for age, body mass index and mobility grade. STUDYDESIGN:
A cross-sectional study that comparedMETHODS:
The quality of life of 39 participants (22 in the osseointegration group and 17 in the socket prosthesis group) was measured using the Questionnaire for Persons with Transfemoral Amputation (Q-TFA) and European Questionnaire 5-dimension 3-level (EQ-5D-3L) surveys.RESULTS:
Compared with the socket prosthesis group, the osseointegration group had a significantly higher 'Global' score (p = 0.022) and a significantly lower 'Problem' score (p < 0.001) of the Q-TFA. The 'Mobility' (p = 0.051) and 'Use' scores (p = 0.146) of the Q-TFA, the EQ-5D-3L index (p = 0.723), and EQ-5D visual analog scale (p = 0.497) showed no significant differences between groups.CONCLUSIONS:
Patients with osseointegration experienced less prosthesis-associated problems than socket prosthesis users and had a higher prosthesis-associated quality of life when assessed with the Q-TFA. General quality of life, as assessed with the EQ-5D-3L, was not different between groups.
