How much have cosmesis prosthetics improved over the years?

Prosthetics: You need to see a licensed prothetist and orthotist in an orthopaedic brace shop to be properly evaluated and fit with prosthetics due to your limb loss. Lots of hybrid joint combinations available based on the level of amputation. Would also strongly recc aggressive physical therapy after fitting to retrain you to stand and walk! best of luck and god bless !
