A transcutaneous port includes a subcutaneous port section and a bone
fixation section. The subcutaneous port section has upper portion which
has an axial channel and a first micro-textured external surface, and a
lower portion which has therein a transverse channel connecting to the
axial channel. The bone fixation section has a transosseous collar
portion which has a second micro-textured external surface, and a
threaded shaft portion. The first and second micro-textured external
surfaces include a multiplicity of alternating microgrooves and ridges
for tissue and bone integration. The transcutaneous port is surgically
implanted into a site of a patient and a conductive wire is introduced
from the axial channel to the transverse channel, and placed in the
subcutaneous soft tissue and in contact with a neural signal source for
transmitting neural signals to a prosthetic motor device.
