Amputee Services

Patients who have lost a limb, whether due to trauma, complications from medical conditions or from congenital limb deficiencies, can benefit from specialized and coordinated services to help them strengthen their bodies and adjust to life with this significant physical change.

Often a patient who has had an amputation will want a prosthesis, which can help restore more normal function, but can have its own challenges.

Our skilled staff can help amputee patients live their best life after surgery and going forward.
