Through Knee Amputation Care: Modern Prosthetic Solutions
Being one of the pioneers in orthotics and prosthetics since 2015, Mobility Solution has been a driving force helping individuals regain independence with high-end products and professional care. Among all, perhaps the most specialized here is the through-knee prosthesis-an artificial limb center for those who have undergone a through knee amputation.
For people who want to maintain a high degree of stability and mobility while adjusting to life after amputation, through-knee prosthetics are ideal. Our team of prosthetists works closely with every patient to provide solutions that fit their unique needs and lifestyle.
What is a Through Knee Prosthesis?
A through knee prosthesis is a type of artificial limb specifically designed for individuals who have undergone a through knee amputation, where the leg is removed at the knee joint, preserving the thigh muscles. This type of prosthesis provides enhanced stability, as the amputation allows for more weight-bearing and better balance compared to above-knee amputations.
Patients who benefit from a through-knee prosthesis are those who want to maximize their mobility and functionality while retaining the ability to perform daily activities and even sports.
Explore our Lower Limb Orthotics to find more solutions that support mobility and rehabilitation after limb loss.
Understanding Through Knee Amputation
A through knee amputation involves the removal of the leg at the knee joint, leaving the femur (thigh bone) intact. This type of amputation is often performed in cases of severe injury, trauma, or disease that affects the lower leg but leaves the upper leg healthy. Unlike an above-knee amputation, this procedure preserves the natural knee joint’s rotational ability and helps support better mobility with a prosthesis.
While it can be challenging to adapt initially, many individuals find that modern prosthetics help restore a significant degree of independence and mobility.

Benefits of Through Knee Amputation Prosthesis
A through knee amputation prosthesis offers several advantages:
- Enhanced Stability: The preserved knee joint allows for greater weight-bearing capacity, offering better balance and control.
- Improved Mobility: Compared to above-knee prosthetics, through-knee devices often allow for more natural movement and easier transitions between sitting and standing.
