Orthoprostheses from Basel Orthopedics
An orthoprosthesis is a device that has both orthotic and prosthetic properties. It is used to compensate for a length deficit, for support and has a corrective effect. In contrast to prostheses, orthoprostheses do not accommodate stumps, but limbs, which can be severely restricted in terms of length and volume. In addition, functional units such as knee joints or ankle joints are often not correctly formed. Nevertheless, parts of the extremities such as toes, feet, lower legs and/or thighs are usually present. We would be happy to discuss everything with you in a personal consultation.
