The aim of this study was to compare the cost-effectiveness of
treatment with an osseointegrated percutaneous (OI-) prosthesis
and a socket-suspended (S-) prosthesis for patients with a transfemoral
amputation. A Markov model was developed to estimate the medical costs and
changes in quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) attributable to treatment
of unilateral transfemoral amputation over a projected period of
20 years from a healthcare perspective. Data were collected alongside
a prospective clinical study of 51 patients followed for two years.Aims
