Hey I lost my left leg over 2 years ago and after getting fitted with a socket, realised sockets chafe, sweat and generally suck. I then had the osseointegration operation done in Germany over a year ago and have never looked back. I highly recommend it for amputees wanting to be active and comfortable again.
The osseo op is when a titanium rod is screwed into your remaining femur so that a prosthetic can be attached and released within seconds.
Well described

Hey there @dominator! I had an amputation in February, and I have certainly had my fair share of issues when it comes to my socket. I came across an article that explained what Osseointegration is, and I have been looking into whether or not it would be a good choice for me. Everything that I have heard points to it being. Did you have to self-pay or did your insurance cover it?
Thanks for sharing!
