Prosthetic leg in Turkey: below-knee and above-knee prostheses

A well-fitting socket, the right foot and the right knee make the difference between a prosthesis you tolerate and one you live with. At Asyamed Ortopedi in Istanbul every prosthetic leg is designed and fitted individually.

In short: We make custom below-knee (transtibial) and above-knee (transfemoral) prostheses in Istanbul. Options include pin-lock and vacuum suspension, carbon energy-storing feet and mechanical, hydraulic or microprocessor knees. Sockets are produced in our own workshop and fitted by certified prosthetist-orthotists.

Below-knee prostheses

For below-knee amputees we offer silicone liners with pin-lock, passive vacuum and active vacuum suspension. Vacuum systems hold the residual limb closely in the socket, reduce volume changes during the day and make the prosthesis feel lighter.

Above-knee prostheses

The knee joint is the key component above the knee. Mechanical knees are simple and robust; hydraulic knees adapt to different walking speeds; microprocessor knees control every step with sensors and add safety on stairs, ramps and when stumbling.

Prosthetic feet

From stable feet for limited walking to carbon energy-storing feet for active users and sport, the foot is chosen according to your activity level (K1–K4).

What affects the cost?

  • Amputation level and residual limb condition
  • Activity level and daily needs
  • Liner, suspension, foot and knee components

We share an estimate after a remote pre-assessment of your photos and reports.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to get a prosthetic leg in Turkey?

It depends on the amputation level and the components. Measurement, test fitting and delivery are planned with as few visits as possible; we confirm the timeline after reviewing your case.

Can my socket be replaced without changing the whole prosthesis?

Yes. If your knee and foot are in good condition, we can make a new socket and re-align the prosthesis.

Do you fit prostheses for children?

Yes. Children need regular follow-up and new sockets as they grow; we plan this together with the family.
