How does it work?
What is a custom-made orthopedic prosthesis?
Custom-made orthopedic prostheses are medical devices used to replace damaged or missing limbs, whether upper or lower. Visually, they are very similar to natural limbs. Prosthetic technology represents a major advance for patients deprived of mobility following accidents, trauma, or congenital malformations. In addition to allowing complete mobility, these custom-made orthopedic prostheses can replace missing limbs caused by pathologies such as diabetes or tumors. However, it is essential to check if the adaptation conditions are feasible before the prosthesis is fitted. In general, there are two types of orthopedic prostheses: those for the upper limbs and those for the lower limbs.
What are the characteristics of orthopedic prostheses?
The process of customizing artificial limbs is essential to ensure their effectiveness and adapt to the needs and physical specificities of each patient. Depending on their preferences and age, the arm-hand and leg-foot units can be composed of one or more parts: adults generally prefer one-piece prostheses, while growing children and adolescents opt for separate prostheses. The materials used to manufacture limb orthopedic prostheses are titanium or carbon, covered with silicone for a most natural look. Using a trio of materials, our products are unbreakable, hypoallergenic, and flexible, making them perfect from both a functional and aesthetic point of view. In addition, our collaboration with an orthopedic surgeon specializing in custom-made prostheses guarantees a superior quality product for hips.

What are the different types of orthopedic prostheses?
Aesthetic Orthopedic Prosthetics
Using aesthetic prostheses, it is possible to aesthetically reconstruct a missing limb. These prostheses can be adapted to all levels of amputation and are often used when the use of a functional prosthesis proves unsuccessful or when the patient does not wish to regain the use of the limb. Classic aesthetic orthopedic prostheses have rigid walls that provide a support and structural function.
Modular Orthopedic Prosthetics
Modular orthopedic prostheses are manufactured using tubular modules made of steel, carbon, or titanium. These prostheses play an essential role in providing support that is crucial for walking and comfort. The modular design of these prostheses allows for great flexibility during their manufacture, making them adaptable to all kinds of congenital malformations or amputations. In addition, they can be adjusted according to the activity level of each individual.
Myoelectric Orthopedic Prosthetics
Myoelectric orthopedic prostheses are designed to capture the electromyographic signals produced by the contraction of the stump muscles. These signals are detected by electrodes placed on the skin, amplified, and used to produce a natural movement.
What are the characteristics of upper limb orthopedic prostheses?
Partial Hand and Finger Prosthesis
Partial hand and finger prostheses replace amputated fingers and parts of the hand. These prostheses perform important functions. Modern prostheses offer better comfort and allow for more efficient gripping for those with physical disabilities. In addition, they are designed to blend discreetly into daily life, without drawing the attention of those around them to their prosthetic nature.
Arm Prosthesis
The majority of current arm prostheses use “motors” to perform movements by amplifying muscle signals. The individual, trained to contract these muscle fibers, can activate a device that can end with a hook, a clamp, or a hand. What is still lacking is the development of tactile sensitivity in this type of prosthesis.

What are the characteristics of lower limb orthopedic prostheses?
Foot Orthopedic Prosthesis
Orthopedists face a major challenge when it comes to designing a foot orthopedic prosthesis. Due to multiple variables such as age, physical condition, and intended use, the needs of each amputee are unique. This is why orthopedists use all their expertise to design a custom-made foot prosthesis for each patient, taking into account their individual needs. This is why each foot prosthesis produced is born from the study of different parameters. The evaluation of the patient and their daily needs is the basis for choosing the right components for a successful and effective foot prosthesis. The stability of the foot prosthesis will guarantee good adaptation to the ground and greater safety when walking. The patient’s needs are the true guidelines for orthopedists, so that the custom-made prosthesis is reliable and can be worn at almost any time of the day.
Leg Orthopedic Prosthesis
The loss of one or both legs causes a series of ambulatory, psychological, and perceptual problems for the patient. Orthopedic prostheses for leg amputations can restore the patient’s contact with the ground. In addition, they allow them to resume activities such as walking or running. During all the delicate phases of fitting the new leg, the patient’s emotional state will gradually improve. Similarly, their confidence in the prosthesis will gradually increase until they overcome the rejection of the amputation undergone.
Thigh Orthopedic Prosthesis
The thigh orthopedic prosthesis can be used when a patient has undergone a total or partial amputation of the lower limb above the knee. This prosthesis proves to be a valuable tool for restoring the patient’s autonomy and integrity, allowing them to regain their mobility and walk properly during their rehabilitation. Particular attention is also paid to the aesthetics of the prosthesis and its alignment. The prosthesis treatment will be in line with the level of amputation.
Orthopedic Surgeon Specialized in Custom-made Hip Prosthetics
For optimal results, it is highly recommended to discuss with your surgeon and physician before undergoing surgery. They will be able to assess your overall health status to determine if you are able to undergo surgery. They will assess your tolerance to anesthesia, blood loss, and certain medications. Your providers will also take into account your stress level, your current weight, and your pre-existing medical problems. During the consultation period, do not hesitate to ask all your questions. This will allow you to be better informed about the procedure and reduce any anxiety or worry before the surgical intervention.

What advances can be anticipated in the field of orthopedic prosthetics for the future?
Artificial limbs lack tactile sensitivity. Today, research is moving to address this defect and make prostheses increasingly similar to real limbs. To achieve this result, however, it is necessary for the limbs to be controlled by the brain: currently in Western countries, excellent results have already been obtained in this area, thanks to the construction of orthopedic prostheses capable of moving smoothly and autonomously.
