Foot prostheses are preferred systems in various amputation scenarios. Individuals experiencing the situations listed below often use these products:

  • Accidents and injuries
  • In case of issues with the knee joint
  • Congenital disabilities
  • Aging and degenerative conditions
  • Infection and diseases

The fabrication of a above-knee prosthesis can vary based on the preferred model and the individual’s specific needs and health condition. At the beginning of the process, our expert conducts a comprehensive assessment. This examination is performed to observe the individual’s health status, level of amputation, skin condition, and physical abilities.

To properly apply a prosthetic leg, measurements of the individual’s prosthetic area are taken. These measurements are necessary to ensure that the product fits the person perfectly and can be worn comfortably. Following this stage, the design and production of the model are carried out. After this process, with the guidance of a physiotherapist, the prosthesis is fitted to the patient, and movement activities are monitored.

Using an above-knee prosthetic leg may initially cause some discomfort. However, when proper adaptation is achieved, and the user becomes accustomed, pain or discomfort is typically reduced. If skin irritation or pressure points occur, adjustments to the prosthesis can be made.

Thanks to advancing technology, above-knee prosthetic legs can be significantly customized based on individual needs and lifestyle. Our prosthetic experts personalize the prosthesis according to the user’s anatomy, mobility skills, and preferences.

The durability of above-knee prosthetic legs depends on the materials used, design, and usage. They are generally long-lasting due to the use of lightweight and durable materials. However, excessive loading or wrong usage affect the lifespan of the prosthesis.

Putting on and taking off an above-knee prosthesis may vary depending on the product’s design. Typically, users are taught a fitting method for donning and doffing. Learning and getting used to this process may take time, but it becomes easier with experience.

For our international patients, we provide a comprehensive service package to enhance your overall experience. This includes airport pick-up and transfer upon arrival and departure, accommodation arrangements, as well as transportation to and from the clinic. Additionally, physiotherapy sessions are an integral part of the services offered at our clinic.

The price of an above-knee prosthetic leg starts from 12000€. Prices may increase based on the chosen brand and the condition of the components.

Following the measurements taken from our patient, we prepare the above-knee prosthesis in approximately 1 week.

A patient with an above-knee prosthetic system can comfortably use the prosthesis for an average of 5 to 10 years.

Hello everyone, today was a very beautiful and meaningful day for us. We were searching for a prosthetic arm for our cousin by doing months of research. Then our dear doctor Ercan recommended Luxmedi to us.They supported us a lot from the first day, gave psychological support to our cousin, and increased our belief in the prosthesis with trial prosthesis and training at first.Nowadays, my cousin can look after her children and do housework very easily.We would like to thank the Luxmed family and their friendly team for providing us with this opportunity.

My father was an amputee 5 years ago. We started researching to renew his prosthesis 3-4 months ago. Just saying this is the summary of the issue, my father has never used a prosthesis before. Luxmed made a great socket and recommended a prosthesis that was just right for my father. The adaptation was short, but my father is very pleased with his situation. At the end of this process, we were both happy and sad. We are happy because my father is very pleased with his situation, he is really happy. We were sad because we met Luxmed late. Thank you for everything, we express our gratitude to Mr. Burak, Mr. Enes and Mr. Murat. ❤️❤️❤️

When my brother underwent the life-altering experience of amputation, we were overwhelmed with uncertainty and had countless questions. However, Luxmed came to our rescue, promptly and patiently answering all of our inquiries, despite the fact we were living in overseas. Therefore we decided travel to İstanbul get my brothers very first prosthetic with Luxmed. Luxmed arranged accommodation and transportation so we solely focused on learn to walk again. Luxmed team’s commitment to making my brother feel at ease and adjusting the prosthetic to maximize his comfort was truly outstanding. The time taken to listen, understand, and tailor the prosthetic to his specific needs was invaluable. Each step of the way, you reassured us that we were in good hands and that my brother's journey toward mobility and independence was your top priority. Luxmed team's willingness to go above and beyond in addressing our concerns and providing us with the necessary information was truly remarkable.The impact of your support extends far beyond my brother alone. Your exceptional care and dedication have brought immense relief and comfort to our entire family. We are forever grateful for the positive impact you have made on our lives during this challenging time. Thank you Luxmed family.

I had my prosthesis made in another center in Bursa 2 years ago. I had been experiencing rashes on my stump for 2 years. Luxmed solved this problem by making a perfect socket in 1 week.
