  • DO NOT DEAL WITH THE PERSON WHO UPLOADED THIS VIDEO - they will take your money and not deliver

  • Please contact me by email for more detailed info at Uli.Henssge at EskaAmerica com or call me at 404 513 6390.

  • Dear ???,There is NO pain! Simply twice daily hygiene, see video upload following soon! Eska's technology of the spongiosa metal surface has over 30 years of osseointigration history, which assures a total and extremely strong lifetime connection with the bone.

    Additional external adapter technology allows absorption of forces, protecting the bone from any possible damage.

    Please provide your name and email so I can provide you with additional details . Have a great day.

  • @UliHenssge How long do they last, I know that hip and knee replacment have a severly limited lifespan which is why surgeons sway away from performing such procedures from the young; is that different with this procedure? I'm a rbk and am kinda interested but I honestly have major qualms about having this rod put in my tibia, I really get along well with my socket and what worries me most is how well the whole thing deals with heavy impact, can you jump down a 2 yard ledge with this procedure?

  • thats definatley different, it sounds painful too. i almost went with a fused ankle instead of a prosthetic but this is like total robotic stuff.

  • wow, that s crazy, i have a below knee with a socket, how does this one work exactly???

  • there is a metal rod inserted into the bone that sticks out through the skin, that the prosthetic locks on to. Kinda like the liners that have pins that click in to the socket, except without the liner or the socket.

    What I don't get is A) how much work is it to keep the opening where the rod comes through from getting infected B) What kind of safety release is on it so that someone doesn't 'break' their leg and snap the rod out of the bone.
