I'm a left leg above the knee amputee, and looking to finally get fitted for a prosthesis. what do i need to do? amputee ready to walk

You need: to be referred to a REHABILITATION department by your treating surgeon. The "fitting" and subsequent training are a specialty in themselves! Prosthetic development has progressed rapidly and dramatically in the last decade! Good Luck! BE WELL and hope this helps! Dr Z
