The novel implant system was developed using osseo-integration technology which enable amputee to overcome skin troubles in use of previous socket system and was evaluated in view of biomechanics, radiology, histology, and pathology. The osseo-integrated implants were designed and manufactured using CT image of canine’s tibia and were applied to laboratory animals(canines). The follow-up studies were performed for 24 months with 10 canines. In radiology examination, we found that the relative low strain distribution caused medial and posterior bone resorption and then we verified them by biomechanical testing. In histological approach, the complete osseo-integration was observed through the activity of osteoblast cells around bone-implant interface and the radial outer region of bone due to peristeum reaction. Lastly in pathological aspect, the evidence of superficial infection was detected but that of deep infection was not. Therefore it is thought that infection problem will be overcome by immunity of body and good hygiene.
