Karin, a Swedish woman, has become the first person to receive a below-the-elbow prosthetic limb that fuses Bone with metal and electrodes. Developed by a multidisciplinary team of engineers and surgeons, the limb uses osseointegration to create a strong mechanical bond with the bone and enable electrical connection with the nervous system. Karin, who lost her arm in an accident 20 years ago, says the bionic arm has reduced her phantom pain and improved her daily life and independence. The success of this groundbreaking technology gives hope to other amputees in similar situations.
