Leg prosthetics offer limb restoration to patients at all levels of the lower extremity, from amputations via the pelvis or hip joint to partial foot amputations. The goal of leg prosthetics is to restore limbs and restore gross motor function, allowing patients to walk again.

 

Advantages of Prosthetic Legs

 

• Reducing Pain: Knee prosthetics greatly reduce chronic pain and improve quality of life.
• Increasing Mobility: Joint function improves and patients can lead more active lives.
• Long-Term Solution: With proper care and rehabilitation, prosthetics can be used for many years without any problems.

 

Risks and Complications

 

• Infection: There is a risk of infection after surgery, so careful monitoring is required.
• Clot Formation: Clots can form in the leg veins after surgery, which can be dangerous.
• Prosthesis Loosening: Over time, the prosthesis can loosen and require additional surgery.

Knee replacements are an effective treatment for patients with advanced joint damage and generally result in high success rates.
