Lower Limb Prostheses

According to the National Limb Loss Information Center, there are approximately 1.7 million people living with limb loss in the United States. Limb loss, or amputation, can be caused by vascular complications/diabetes, cancer, trauma, or may be congenital. Prosthetists at UT Health San Antonio will design and custom fabricate a prosthesis to fit a patient's residual limb after evaluating each patient's needs and goals for their prosthetic device. The prosthetic design and componentry will take into account each patient’s activity level, prognosis, occupation, and goals for prosthetic use. We also provide ongoing follow up services to ensure that your prosthesis allows you to continue to meet your needs and reach your functional goals.

Lower limb amputations we treat, but are not limited to:

• Hemipelvectomy (transpelvic)
• Hip Disarticulation 
• Transfemoral (above knee)
• Knee disarticulation
• Transtibial (below knee)
• Ankle disarticulation (Symes)
• Partial foot amputation
