Custom Lower Limb Leg Prosthetics

In the case that you need an above-the-knee (transfemoral) prosthetic, your prosthesis will consist of different modular components including a prosthetic foot, a knee, and the remaining connecting elements.

Some patients need knee disarticulation as a result of diabetes, trauma, or peripheral vascular disease. This type of procedure leaves the femur and patella untouch and uses a non-traumatic surgical technique.

Some socket types for leg prosthetics are solely for below the knee. If you had a transtibial amputation, you might need a lower leg prosthetic. This option is ideal for those who still have an intact knee joint and consists of a custom-made socket, a pylon, a foot, and some sort of suspension system.

Ankle disarticulation is also known as Symes. During this procedure, the ankle is removed and the heel pad is moved to the distal tibia to occasionally bear weight when needed.

Those who undergo hip disarticulation may need a hemipelvectomy prosthesis. In the case that removing the hip joint or the pelvis is required, there is an artificial hip joint placed on a fabricated socket made of rigid yet flexible resins. In addition, the patient will need knee and ankle/foot extremities to optimize walking.

If you need an amputation in the foot, hand, or fingers region, you can use a custom silicone prosthesis. Patients like custom silicone prosthesis as it is comfortable and adapts to the shape of your foot or hand.
