Endo-Exo prostheses

The endo-exo prosthesis – modern technology for special needs

Many people with above-knee or below-knee amputations can be optimally fitted with conventional prosthetic technology. However, some patients experience problems: fluctuations in stump volume or skin irritations make daily wear difficult. In such cases, endo-exo prosthetics offer an alternative solution specifically tailored to individual needs.

We would also be happy to advise you on possible cost coverage.

An overview of our services

N

More freedom of movement

Significantly increased range of motion through direct power transmission and fewer limitations.

N

Secure hold without a shaft

Without a traditional prosthetic socket: Fewer pressure points, no chafing, more comfort in everyday life.

N

Real ground feel

Noticeably improved proprioception for a more natural gait and better balance.

N

Easy to use

Docking and undocking is quick and easy, even for those with limited mobility.

N

Longer walking distances possible

The direct coupling allows for longer wearing times and higher load-bearing capacity.

N

Individual support

From the initial decision to the first day of school: We advise and support you throughout the entire process.

What does endo-exo prosthetics mean?

The terms “endo” and “exo” come from Greek and mean “inside” and “outside.” In this technique, a power carrier is firmly anchored in the bone and brought out transcutaneously, i.e., through the skin. Conventional prosthetics can then be easily attached to this connection. In Germany, this method is only offered sporadically, but our collaboration with the Endo-Exo Competence Center Rostock provides access to many years of experience. The Competence Center combines Rostock University Medical Center, a certified clinic for endo-exo integration, and our partner company, Orthopädie-Technik Scharpenberg.

Advantages for the user

The endo-exo prosthesis not only makes putting it on and taking it off easier every day, but also enables a more natural gait with an extended range of motion and better ground contact. Users benefit from longer walking distances, greater movement control, and significantly fewer problems caused by soft tissue, as a prosthetic socket is not required. This makes the prosthesis more comfortable, functional, and particularly suitable for everyday use.

Frequently asked questions

For whom is an endo-exo prosthesis suitable?

It is aimed at people who have problems with classic socket prostheses, such as skin irritations or stump volume fluctuations.

How does the anchoring work?

A force carrier is anchored directly in the bone and led out through the skin, to which the prosthesis is attached.

What advantages does the technology offer?

Easy to put on and take off, more natural walking, improved ground control, longer walking distances and fewer soft tissue problems.

Who is providing the care?

The care is provided in cooperation with the Endo-Exo Competence Center Rostock, including university medicine, a certified clinic and experienced orthopaedic technicians.

Are there any limitations or risks?

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, which will be discussed individually with the treating team. A personal consultation is therefore essential.

Does the health insurance company cover the treatment?

In many cases, it is possible to have the costs covered. We will help you with all applications and formalities.
