Simply put: A lower leg prosthesis is a device used to replace all or part of a person's lower leg.
According to the National Institute of Health, about 150,000 patients undergo lower extremity amputations in the United States due to diabetes mellitus, peripheral vascular disease, neuropathy, and trauma.
Types of lower leg amputations include transtibial (at the knee), symes (ankle), transfemoral (above the knee), knee disarticulation (middle of thigh), and hip disarticulation (at the hip joint).
For amputees, limb restoration options such as lower extremity prosthetics can help you navigate a new normal and empower you to live life to the fullest. These include partial or entire artificial replacement of a lower limb such as your hip, thigh, knee, ankle, and foot.
