TRANS FEMORAL
Trans-Femoral Prosthetics
At Palmetto Orthotics and Prosthetics, our team of experienced prosthetists specializes in providing high-quality trans-femoral prosthetics for individuals with above-knee amputations. A trans-femoral amputation is a surgical amputation through the femur (thigh bone) and is often performed due to trauma, disease, or congenital conditions.
What is a Trans-Femoral Prosthesis?
A trans-femoral prosthesis is a type of prosthetic leg that replaces the missing portion of the femur and attaches to the remaining knee, foot and ankle. Our trans-femoral prosthetics are designed to provide a natural gait, comfort, and functionality, allowing individuals to participate in daily activities with confidence.
