PMID 36188935

WHAT IT FOUND

Prosthetic technology history and future trends are described here, but no patients or outcomes are reported.

There is no clinical finding to change practice.

What this paper is

This is a narrative review of prosthetic technology, tracing developments from craft-based production to digital, smart and biological systems. It contains no methods, no participants and no outcomes, so there is nothing here to change clinical practice.

The easy way to misread this

Do not treat this as evidence that smart sockets, 3D printing or osseointegration improve patient outcomes. It is a narrative review with no clinical results.
