FAQ
How much does a prosthetic knee cost?
The price range for prosthetic knees depends vastly on their technology and the patient's needs, lifestyle, and budget--simpler devices being around $5,000 and computerized knees up to $70,000. PrimeCare has a wide range of Ossur prosthetic knees and Ottobock prosthetic knees to choose from.
How much does a prosthetic knee weigh?
The average weight of a prosthetic knee varies depending on the type of device; however, the lightest knee replacements currently available weigh between 0.77 lbs and 1.5 lbs.
Is a knee prosthesis the same as a knee replacement?
A knee replacement is not the same as a prosthetic knee socket. A knee replacement involves the surgical implantation of an artificial knee joint. On the other hand, prosthetic knee sockets are custom-made devices that fit over the end of a residual limb following an amputation to provide an interface between the human limb and the prosthetic device.
