Lower Extremity Prosthetics

Transtibial (Below Knee) A transtibial prosthesis is an artificial limb that replaces a leg missing below the knee and commonly called prosthetic leg below the knee . Transtibial amputees are usually able to regain normal movement more readily than someone with a transfemoral amputation, due in large part to retaining the knee, which allows for easier movement.

In the prosthetic industry a trans-tibial prosthetic leg is often referred to as a “BK” or below the knee prosthesis.
