The University of Colorado Bone-Anchored Limb Research Group
Osseointegrated prosthetics are still in their infancy, but we believe it has the potential to radically improve the quality of life and mobility in individuals suffering from severe socket-related issues.
Our interdisciplinary BALRG team is leading the United States in creating a rich research data set to monitor long-term outcomes following osseointegration.
Our mission is to perform impactful, translational research that can be used to improve the lives of patients who undergo prosthesis osseointegration.
For this to occur, there is an immediate need to provide data for clinicians, researchers, patients, payers, and healthcare systems to guide the rehabilitation process for people to best benefit from osseointegrated prostheses.
