Whether you are receiving your first above-knee prosthetic leg or replacing an older device, each prosthesis is designed and adjusted for comfort, precision and lasting mobility.
What Is a Transfemoral Prosthetic Leg?
A transfemoral prosthesis, also called an above-knee prosthetic leg, replaces the function and appearance of a leg that has been amputated above the knee joint. This type of prosthesis must perform two key tasks: supporting body weight and replicating the natural motion of both the hip and knee. Because it involves more complex mechanics than a below-knee design, proper alignment and individual fitting are essential for balance, gait and long-term comfort.
At our Fort Myers clinic, we begin with a detailed evaluation of your limb, overall health and lifestyle goals. Whether your focus is on household mobility, returning to work, or enjoying outdoor activities again, we tailor every component of your above-the-knee prosthesis to your needs.
Advanced Types of
Transfemoral Prosthetic Legs
Modern above-knee prosthetic legs combine intelligent technology, lightweight materials, and precision engineering to provide smoother, safer, and more natural movement. The right choice depends on your activity level, physical strength, and rehabilitation goals.
Microprocessor-Controlled Knees (MPKs)
These systems use sensors and algorithms to detect walking speed and terrain changes. They automatically adjust resistance to improve balance and prevent falls. Many active patients choose MPKs for greater safety and stability on stairs and uneven surfaces.
Hydraulic & Pneumatic Knees
Hydraulic and pneumatic knees use fluid or air resistance to manage swing and stance phases, resulting in smoother movement for users who walk at different speeds or on varied terrain.
Custom Socket & Suspension Systems
Every prosthesis begins with a well-fitted socket. Our same-day socket technology allows faster fitting, immediate adjustment, and greater comfort from day one.
Mechanical Knees
Mechanical systems rely on weight-activated or pneumatic controls. They are durable, dependable, low maintenance, and ideal for patients who prefer a straightforward design.
Lightweight Carbon Fiber & Titanium Frames
Modern materials combine exceptional strength with lightweight performance, reducing fatigue while providing maximum comfort for all-day wear. Every above-knee prosthesis we build is fabricated in-house at our Fort Myers laboratory, allowing complete control over alignment, quality, and final adjustments.
The Amputee Clinic Fitting & Rehabilitation Process
From consultation to lifelong follow-up, every stage of your rehabilitation is designed around comfort, precision, and restoring your confidence.
Free Consultation & Evaluation
Your journey begins with a no-obligation consultation. We review your medical history, lifestyle, amputation level and long-term mobility goals before recommending the ideal prosthetic solution.
Custom Design & Same-Day Socket
Using advanced digital scanning and in-house fabrication, we create a socket tailored specifically to your limb. Many patients receive a same-day check socket before their definitive socket.
Alignment & Dynamic Testing
Multiple standing and walking evaluations ensure perfect alignment, balanced weight distribution and reduced pressure on your residual limb.
Physical Therapy & Training
Our rehabilitation specialists teach proper gait mechanics, balance, strengthening exercises and confidence-building techniques for everyday mobility.
Ongoing Support & Adjustments
Regular follow-up visits allow us to fine-tune your prosthesis as your body changes, ensuring maximum comfort and performance for years to come.
What Is the Cost of a Transfemoral Prosthesis
The prosthetic leg above-knee cost varies depending on the knee system, socket materials and level of technology you select. Mechanical systems are typically more affordable, while microprocessor-controlled knees and advanced suspension systems are priced higher due to their precision engineering and electronics.
At Amputee Clinic, we believe every patient deserves access to quality prosthetic care. We work with most major insurance providers and assist with billing and documentation to help you understand what is covered. For patients without insurance, we discuss flexible solutions that make treatment more accessible.
Because we manufacture all prostheses in-house, our patients benefit from faster turnaround times and competitive pricing compared with clinics that outsource fabrication.
