Simply put: A lower leg prosthesis is a device used to replace all or part of a person's lower leg. According to the [National Institute of Health](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK546594/#:~:text=Approximately%20150000%20patients%20per%20year,disease%2C%20neuropathy%2C%20and%20trauma.), about 150,000 patients undergo lower extremity amputations in the United States due to diabetes mellitus, peripheral vascular disease, neuropathy, and trauma. Lower leg amputation types include transtibial (below the knee), symes (ankle), transfemoral (above the knee), knee disarticulation (thigh), and hip disarticulation (hip joint). Lower extremity prosthetics help amputees restore limb function and regain independence. These prosthetics can replace the hip, thigh, knee, ankle, and foot. At PrimeCare, we provide custom lower-limb prosthetics in Las Cruces and nearby areas in NM, ensuring a comfortable fit that supports your daily activities while meeting both functional and aesthetic needs.
