    The University of Colorado Osseointegration Research Consortium

    Jason Stoneback, MD

    Dr. Jason Stoneback serves as the Director of the University of Colorado Osseointegration Research Consortium (ORC), which includes an interdisciplinary team of highly experienced biomechanical engineers, physical therapists, physiatrists, and clinical and translational researchers. Our clinic is one of the few sites in the United States routinely performing Osseointegrated prosthesis implantation in individuals with lower-limb amputation, a novel surgical procedure that creates a direct connection between bone and prosthesis via an intramedullary implant eliminating the need for a socket.

    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 ORC 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.
