Osseointegration Claims

We are the UK's leading solicitors for osseointegration claims, securing interim payments and final compensation awards to enable clients to travel to Sweden, Germany, The Netherlands and Australia to receive this pioneering technology.

What is Osseointegration?

Osseointegration (OI) is the technology whereby a titanium implant is surgically implanted directly into the bone, eliminating the need for traditional socket-based prosthetics.

The direct integration into bone has been shown to transmit sensory signals back into the leg; meaning a certain level of feeling gradually returns - a phenomenon known as osseoperception.

Once the titanium rod is securely fixed, a lighter and stronger than traditional prosthetic limb can be attached via a quick release mechanism, which allows for total freedom from rigid socket systems and eliminates the complications commonly associated with traditional socket based prosthesis limbs, such as chafing, sweating and, most notably, the need for frequent socket changes.

We have successfully secured treatment for clients when other solicitors have been unable to do so. Up until recently we have had to send clients abroad for such treatment, to specialist surgeons in The Netherlands, Germany, Sweden and Australia, however over the past year surgeons have been trained in the UK to be able to undertake osseointegration surgery without the need for clients to travel abroad. Follow up treatment is not currently provided by the NHS and we ensure that any claim includes the costs of follow up treatment that will be necessary to ensure the technology lasts for your lifetime.
