Femoral Prostheses
For secure support, comfortable walking and maximum freedom of movement.
Tailor-made care for greater mobility
A transfemoral prosthesis is needed when the leg has been amputated above the knee. Since the residual limb in this area often contains a higher proportion of soft tissue, a perfectly fitting socket is essential. We will advise you in detail to determine the appropriate socket system together, whether ischial or transverse oval. This will result in a prosthesis that optimally combines comfort and stability.
We would also be happy to advise you on possible cost coverage.

All important components at a glance
A transfemoral prosthesis consists of several precisely coordinated components. The socket forms the custom-made connection to the residual limb and is individually fitted. A soft liner gently surrounds the residual limb for added comfort. The artificial knee can be mechanically, motor-driven, or microprocessor-controlled and largely determines the range of motion. The lower leg component connects to the prosthesis, providing a stable connection to the foot. Finally, the prosthetic foot ensures a secure stance and a natural rolling motion while walking.

Perfect, expert advice and friendly service. The best orthopaedic insoles I have ever had! This shop was a real stroke of luck for me.
Sigrid
Modern knee joint technologies
The knee joint plays a key role in your mobility. Whether mechanical or electronic, current developments enable a walking experience that closely resembles natural movement. Electric knees provide support when walking, standing up, and climbing stairs. Microprocessors even adapt to your individual movement profile and “learn” your gait to provide you with the best possible support.
Frequently asked questions
How do I choose the right stock system?
We will advise you individually to find the right solution for you between the ischial tuberosity-enclosing and the transversely oval shaft system.
What are the advantages of an electronic knee?
Motorized and microprocessor-controlled knee joints adapt to your movement patterns and make everyday activities such as climbing stairs and standing up easier.
How long does the adjustment take?
From the initial consultation to the finished prosthesis, a few weeks usually pass, depending on test runs and fine adjustments.
Will the health insurance cover the costs?
In most cases, yes. We are happy to assist you with the application process and all formalities.
Can I play sports with a femoral prosthesis?
Yes, with special sports prostheses, active recreational sports are also possible. We will inform you about suitable models.
Which manufacturers do you use?
We rely on leading brands such as Ottobock, Össur, and Vincent to ensure the highest quality and durability.
