#osseointegrated prosthetic

Osseo-integration at the beach

About cybernetic prosthetics and such—how do you go about justifying a world that can create these futuristic tech but somehow won’t or can’t create something like a cyborg eye or leg or arm, or something? Would the character not wanting one be enough? What if it happened when they were a child and thus the parents chose to do so?

Hey,

I'm going to refer you to this evergreen post, since it addresses your question of "better technology".

You can of course have the character not want a prosthetic limb for any reason, just as anyone could not want any other kind of disability aid, or... anything in general; people are different and don't like the same things. The character could also not want to pay hundreds of thousands of cash to get this done since it doesn't sound cheap.

I'm not sure what you exactly mean by the parents making the decision: prosthetics are things you put on and off, they're not there permanently. Osseointegration would be the closest thing to that, and it's not done on babies. Some people start using prosthetics because their parents want them to and then some of those people stop using them later on.

Three guys, three stumps, three osseointegrated prosthetic legs but with different types of prosthetic knees. That's some prime threesome material right there! The question is, prosthetic legs on or off? Which guy here with a stump is your favorite?

Inspired by a reply to this original tweet

A brief rundown of how Bucky's prosthetic functions, based on breakthroughs in the field of biotechnology that have been getting mainstream attention in recent years.

Namely: Neuromusculoskeletal prosthetic technology, also known colloquially as 'bionic arms'.

While Bucky's prosthetic more advanced than our current technological capabilities, due to the nature of comic book science, the information I am going to share is helpful all the same; especially for people writing his character (and if you are, I encourage you to research this technology and get a grasp of the fundamentals).

To start, the socket is osseointegrated. This in itself is not new a new surgical technique and is a long-established method of amputation. What osseointegration means is the socket that prosthetic attaches (or 'anchors') to is integrated into/fused with Bucky's bones.

Now, how do these prosthetics move and feel? Here is a brief, but informative explanation targeted at laypeople:

[whenthewallfell]

Uughhhh your everlark art. Love it so much :D Please share your headcanon or story?!? Thank you.....

Ohoh, well if you insist...hold on to your butts, it's gonna get technical.

I've seen some discussion about whether Peeta's prosthetic is permanent or removable. Personally I think that it IS removable because:

1. You can't stick implants in bones that are still growing. The recommended age for osseointegration is 18+, because otherwise there's every chance the bone will just, like. Push it out.

2. He's described in CF as lacking coordination and struggling to keep up with The Gang which is more common with the classic socket models.

3. Honestly I don't think Snow would see it as worth the cost. Implants are expensive and require a lot of rehab after surgery. If he was a solo victor then he might be worth the investment (bc who'd pay for damaged goods? To be clear this is NOT my opinion, but the Capitol's - they're obsessed with aesthetics after all.) Also he wouldn't have a support system to help him through it - his family basically ignores him when he comes back.

So I think that Peeta likely has a stump and removable leg. It's probably overdesigned and far too ornate to be comfortable OR useful, and he'll get all the symptoms and side effects associated with it. At least all of his clothes now are Capitol made so they're prosthetic friendly.

BUT. Then the revolution happens. Again I don't think Snow cares long-term about his welfare (obvs lmao) so they probably just slap a leg on him with the medical equivalent of super glue and send him off to murder Katniss and/or die trying.

When he gets caught in The Fire the prosthetic melts onto his leg and damages even more tissue. During reconstruction he's given the implant instead, because a doctor finally wants this boy to live past his teens. That's why it takes him longer to return to D12 - in addition to the therapy he's also got rehab. The leg/foot is still removable, but there's fewer side effects and overall it's far more comfortable (it's also waterproof, so bring on the cute lake scenes!)

This is the version featured in my pic :)

Also any non-Capitol made clothes he just cuts the left leg off bc who can be bothered dealing with that first thing in the morning. Katniss sews fur-lined stump warmers for the winter to cover the exposed skin. She also makes him a little leather cap for the implant when he takes his leg off at night, bc it is Not Fun getting whacked with a titanium pole when trying to sleep (I imagine he's a twitchy sleeper post-MJ)

I was geeking about this on twitter, but I love that we have an example of an Osseointegrated prosthetic in an animated show. It's very cool.

Maybe I should my Trek-Sona to be a "rogue Prosthetics specialist" or something lol

[weirdestcornelius]

brigh's leg prosthetic looks like osseointegration btw! idk if that would be the proper type considering his burns but it IS a real thing!

OHHH THAT ACTUALLY MAKES SO MUCH SENSE I'M SORRY FOR NOT REALIZING THIS SOONER

So sorry for the confusion. I literally haven't seen anything about this before and it makes so much sense actually. That's actually pretty cool! It's awesome that kit included something like that if osseointegration is actually what it is.

The more you know

[v7-arts]

you don't have to answer if you don't want to bc we've never interacted but I would love to hear your thoughts :)

I am glad you asked!

So, I am researching on prosthetic legs has around 2 weeks, because... it has a digitigrade leg! The knee in resting position is parallel to the ground, not perpendicular!

So a single axis knee wouldnt do it. After some research, I have decided this leg:

Is polycentric. It is very stable, because the multiple axis create an Instant Centre of Rotation (ICR) that is much higher than the actual knee.

Has a constant friction control. It swings freely most of the time, but the friction control makes it swing in a more predictable way.

Has a weight based lock, that only triggers when it is at 90 degrees or less. This detail is very important in order to allow the digitigrade walk. The downside is that sitting is kinda weird with this leg. But this lock can be manually toggled as well to remedy that.

Also, the knee axis is osseointegrated. I confess this is more me not knowing how to draw a socket.

The most used feet is the running blade because oh boi does it like to move. It is a very active person.

So... that is mostly it. Thanks for asking, if something else comes to mind I might add to this post

"Here I am - what is left of me."

Nara caressed over his jaw with her finger. "You're beautiful, Laurent.", she said, using his first name.

He shook his head. A smile appeared on his lips, and his voice vibrated as he spoke: "I am broken, Nara."

[...]

"You began your life in insanity, Nara. But now you awake each day, and put yourself back together and return to sanity. Me, however...", he raised the prosthesis, "As a child, I had absolute certainty in religion and the holy books. And with every day I break more..."

Nara took both of his hands. The inanimate one was hard as metal, without the rubber-like sensation of civilian prostheses. It closed around her fingers gently. Nara Oxham ignored Laurents cold pain, grabbed the living and the inanimate parts, pressed her fingers into the strange interfaces of human and machine. She found the hidden closures and opened them, released the artificial limbs. She saw the phantom limbs as clear as if they were real.

Mentally she merged with him.

"Then break.", she said.

(Translation back to english from the german translation because I only had the german one avaliable)

Full drawing as well as some more thoughts on this piece under the read more because it's somewhat suggestive

1.

That's actually not how prostheses work in real life, because sci-fi and the technology there moved on, however I tried to be as accurate as possible in every detail that was not explicitly mentioned in the book as being sci-fi technology.

There's cables connecting his body with the prostheses because unlike real life ones they can transmit sensations back to him, if somewhat flawed. That is something the book directly describes, even if I could not quite pinpoint how they would look like.

He also has implants, basically metal rods sticking in the bone of the residual limbs to hold the prosthesis, which is called Osseointegration prosthetic and does exist in real life, but is quite risky due to being prone to infection here, and thus relatively rare. I figured out that in this future, they would have learned how to prevent these infections, so it is used even on his legs additionally to suction even though there is enough leg left for it to hold on even without it (combining this is not a thing in real life as far as I know). Also in real life they look different, not these sci-fi clipper things but just a metal rod. The way these additional implants at his shoulder (collar bone and shoulder bone) work is made up too; I just figured out if this was not risky anymore it would be useful to distribute the weight on his whole shoulder and not just that one point.

His legs holds through basically closing around the residual limb and then the air getting sucked out - also directly described in the book - which is very much how most real life prostheses work.

2.

However I am able-bodied, so don't take my word for any of this. I really hope I did this in a respectful way, but truth is, despite the research I did, I am not hundred percent sure if I managed to pull it of without fetishizing amputees. There is a lot of focus on Laurent Zai being an amputee in this drawing, an ankle I choose because it empathizes the vulnerability but also healing tenderness of that scene and the following (implied) sex scene. This is just what his body happens to look like, but also, it is so much focus on it - ah damn, I don't know.

3.

Was he actually half undressed in that scene? Reread it a few times, and couldn't find out. I don't think he would tell the horrific body horror story of how Dhantu rebels tortured him while being half naked, but also every area where the prosthesis sit is covered by cloth, so he has to be half naked in order for Nara to be able to unclasp them like that.

Also not sure if they had sex directly after or only later. I mean, a disturbing torture story is not exactly a turn on. But then, there also is nothing in the picture saying that it has to take place directly after that dialogue

4.

In every other situation taking off someones limbs without their consent is really fucking intrusive, but in this it works for me, and I am not sure why? Maybe because Laurent seems to be totally okay with it? Maybe because Nara is a telepath so she knows already that it is okay for him?
