"Transfemoral" refers to a type of amputation that occurs above the knee, specifically at the femur, which is the thigh bone. This procedure may be necessary due to various medical conditions, including severe trauma, infection, or vascular disease. Individuals who undergo a transfemoral amputation may require a prosthetic limb to assist with mobility. People with transfemoral amputations often use specialized prosthetics designed for above-knee support. These devices can help restore function and improve quality of life. Rehabilitation and physical therapy are essential components of recovery, enabling individuals to adapt to their new circumstances and regain independence.
