About the consultation

NICE is looking at direct skeletal fixation of limb prostheses using an intraosseous transcutaneous implant. This is a review of NICE’s interventional procedures guidance on direct skeletal fixation of limb or digit prostheses using an intraosseous transcutaneous implant. 

NICE’s interventional procedures advisory committee met to consider the evidence and the opinions of professional experts with knowledge of the procedure. 

This document contains the draft guidance for consultation. Your views are welcome, particularly: 

  • comments on the draft recommendations 
  • information about factual inaccuracies 
  • additional relevant evidence, with references if possible. 

NICE is committed to promoting equality of opportunity, eliminating unlawful discrimination and fostering good relations between people with particular protected characteristics and others. 

This is not NICE’s final guidance on this procedure. The draft guidance may change after this consultation. 

After consultation ends, the committee will: 

  • meet again to consider the consultation comments, review the evidence and make appropriate changes to the draft guidance 
  • prepare a second draft, which will go through a resolution process before the final guidance is agreed. 

Please note that we reserve the right to summarise and edit comments received during consultation or not to publish them at all if, in the reasonable opinion of NICE, there are a lot of comments or if publishing the comments would be unlawful or otherwise inappropriate. 

Closing date for comments: 28 June 2024 

Target date for publication of guidance: November 2024
