Upper Limb Prosthetics

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 diabetes complications, cancer, birth defects or trauma. Prosthetists at UT Health San Antonio will evaluate each patient's needs and goals for their prosthetic device. Our specialists will design a custom prosthetic that will fit a patient's residual limb and take into account their activity level, prognosis, and occupation.

• Forequarter
• Shoulder disarticulation
• Transhumeral (AE)
