What is a transfemoral prosthesis?
Transfemoral or above-the-knee prostheses and knee disarticulation prostheses, replace the part of the leg above the knee joint.
These prosthetic systems include a custom-made socket that fits your residual limb, a suspension system to keep it secure, a knee joint (mechanical or microprocessor), and a prosthetic foot.
Working closely with your prosthetist, you’ll design a personalized prosthesis that supports your lifestyle, aligns with your goals, and helps you return to the activities you love.
