The goal is to compare the\n advantages and disadvantages of ITAP with exoprosthesis use, given the\n importance of limb-sparing procedures in contemporary veterinary medicine.<\/jats:p>\n Materials and methods A systematic research adhering to the PRISMA\n protocol was conducted using a time span from 2000 to 2023, focusing on papers\n detailing the clinical application of ITAP or exoprosthesis in small\n animals.<\/jats:p>\n Results This review encompasses 8 studies, 5 of them offering insights\n into the use of exoprosthesis in dogs and cats and 3 into ITAPs. Among the\n patients receiving an ITAP, 2 out of 6 experienced complications such as implant\n loosening and breakage. Studies on stump socket prostheses identified 10\n different complications, occurring 93 times in 96 canine patients, with some\n patients showing more than one complication. However, in the studies assessing\n the quality of life, 31 out of 48 owners reported that their dogs had a good or\n excellent quality of life post-surgery.<\/jats:p>\n Conclusion Both approaches have their pros and cons. Stump socket\n prostheses may offer better adaptability and simpler application, but owners\n must be vigilant about daily maintenance to prevent pressure sores or\n infections, often necessitating adaptations due to stump changes. In contrast,\n ITAP avoids these complications but requires assurance of proper skin and bone\n integration. The positive aspect of both prosthesis types lies in restoring\n quadrupedal gait, alleviating strain on other limbs and maintaining\n physiological posture, particularly crucial for animals with preexisting\n conditions. It is crucial to carefully evaluate the outcomes and potential\n complications of each prosthesis type, prioritizing the patient\u2019s\n well-being.<\/jats:p>\n Clinical relevance Limb amputation is an important decision in veterinary\n medicine, where alternative options beyond total limb amputation should be\n thoroughly discussed. Partial limb amputation, along with prosthetic devices,\n can greatly benefit patients, provided careful consideration and planning are\n undertaken.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2453-6622","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,6]],"date-time":"2024-12-06T00:06:42Z","timestamp":1733443602000},"page":"359-366","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Intraosseous Transcutaneous Amputation Prosthesis (ITAP) compared to\n Exoprosthesis in veterinary medicine \u2013 a literature review"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"52","author":[{"given":"Clara","family":"Kneringer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department for Companion Animals and Horses, University Clinic for\n Small Animals, Small Animal Surgery, University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna,\n Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eva","family":"Schnabl-Feichter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department for Companion Animals and Horses, University Clinic for\n Small Animals, Small Animal Surgery, University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna,\n Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"909","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1532-950X.2011.00891.x","article-title":"Intraosseous Transcutaneous Amputation Prosthesis (ITAP) for Limb Salvage in 4\n Dogs","volume":"40","author":"N Fitzpatrick","year":"2011","journal-title":"Vet Surg"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1002\/vms3.1146","article-title":"Prospective evaluation of canine partial limb amputation with socket\n prostheses","volume":"9","author":"T M Wendland","year":"2023","journal-title":"Vet Med Sci"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"265","DOI":"10.3415\/VCOT-16-09-0127","article-title":"Clinical outcome and complications of thoracic and pelvic limb stump and socket\n prostheses","volume":"30","author":"A Phillips","year":"2017","journal-title":"Vet Comp Orthop Traumatol"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"322","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1532-950X.2008.00384.x","article-title":"Transcutaneous Tibial Implants: A Surgical Procedure for Restoring Ambulation\n After Amputation of the Distal Aspect of the Tibia in a Dog","volume":"37","author":"K A Drygas","year":"2008","journal-title":"Vet Surg"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"107","DOI":"10.1590\/1678-4162-12661","article-title":"Fixed bilateral endo-exo prostheses in feline femur \u2013 case report","volume":"75","author":"AG C Mendon\u00e7a","year":"2023","journal-title":"Arq Bras Med Veterin\u00e1ria E Zootec"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.3389\/fvets.2019.00100","article-title":"Retrospective Multi-Center Analysis of Canine Socket Prostheses for Partial\n Limbs","volume":"6","author":"T M Wendland","year":"2019","journal-title":"Front Vet Sci"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.18849\/ve.v3i1.118","article-title":"Retrospective Study on External Canine Limb Prosthesis used in 24 patients","volume":"3","author":"B J Carr","year":"2018","journal-title":"Vet Evid"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1441","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cvsm.2005.08.009","article-title":"Assistive Devices, Orthotics, and Prosthetics","volume":"35","author":"C Adamson","year":"2005","journal-title":"Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-200301000-00001","article-title":"Introducing Levels of Evidence to the Journal","volume":"85","author":"J G Wright","year":"2003","journal-title":"J Bone Jt Surg"}],"container-title":["Tier\u00e4rztliche Praxis Ausgabe K: Kleintiere \/ Heimtiere"],"original-title":[],"language":"de","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/a-2453-6622.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,6]],"date-time":"2024-12-06T00:06:51Z","timestamp":1733443611000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/a-2453-6622"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,12]]},"references-count":9,"journal-issue":{"issue":"06","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,5]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024,12]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/a-2453-6622","archive":["Portico","CLOCKSS"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1434-1239","2567-5842"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1434-1239","type":"print"},{"value":"2567-5842","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,12]]}}}
