When can I get a prosthetic leg after amputation?
Usually once the surgical site has healed and swelling settles — often about 4–8 weeks — starting with a temporary (preparatory) prosthesis. We coordinate timing with your surgeon so you start safely.
What’s the difference between a mechanical and a microprocessor knee?
A microprocessor knee uses sensors to adjust resistance in real time for safer, more natural walking and better control on stairs and ramps. Mechanical knees are simpler and lighter. The right choice depends on your activity level (K-level) and goals.
Will insurance cover my prosthetic leg?
Medicare, Medicaid, and most commercial plans cover medically necessary prostheses with a physician’s prescription, and componentry is tied to your K-level. We verify your benefits before you start — see our cost & insurance guide.
How do I care for my socket and residual limb?
Daily skin checks, keeping the liner and socket clean, and managing limb volume with the right sock ply. We teach all of this at your fitting and follow-ups.
Do you make below-knee and above-knee prosthetic legs?
Yes. We fit both below-knee (transtibial) and above-knee (transfemoral) prosthetic legs, from a first temporary limb through your definitive fitting, with sockets and components matched to your activity level.
Do you fit prosthetic feet and ankles?
Yes. We fit a full range of prosthetic feet and ankle systems — from everyday walking feet to dynamic-response and microprocessor ankles — matched to how you move.
