In comparison to through-knee amputees the outcomes for above-the-knee amputees are relatively poor; based on this novel techniques have been developed. Most current percutaneous implant-based solutions for transfemoral amputees make use of high stiffness intramedullary rods for skeletal fixation, which can have risks including infection, femoral fractures, and bone resorption due to stress shielding. This work details the cadaveric testing of a short, cortical bone stiffness-matched subcutaneous implant, produced using additive manufacture, to determine bone implant micromotion and push-out load. The results for the micromotions were all
