Amputation & Prosthesis Fitting in Hyderabad

What is Amputation & Prosthesis Fitting?

Amputation: Surgical removal of a limb or part of a limb due to disease, trauma, or deformity.

Prosthesis Fitting: The process of designing, fabricating, and adjusting an artificial limb (prosthesis) that restores function, mobility, and appearance.

At Germanten, both procedures are planned together—to ensure a stump that supports a comfortable, high-functioning prosthetic limb.

When is Amputation Necessary?

Severe trauma or crush injuries
Diabetic foot gangrene or infection
Cancerous tumors of the limb
Failed vascular surgeries or poor circulation
Uncontrollable bone or soft tissue infections (osteomyelitis)
Non-functional, deformed, or painful limbs

We always explore limb salvage options first, and proceed with amputation only when absolutely necessary.
