Unique Prosthetic Cases
When Standard Doesn't Fit, We Build What Does
If your case isn’t textbook, our team specializes in creating custom prosthetic solutions for situations that other providers turn away. For over 40 years, we’ve been solving the complex cases, and we’d like to help you, too.
Specialized Prosthetic Solutions We Provide
Additional Complex Cases We Solve
Short Residual Limbs
Short limbs make socket suspension and control challenging. Our prosthetists specialize in techniques that maximize what you have, creating stable, functional prosthetics even with minimal limb length.
Bony or Irregularly Shaped Limbs
Prominent bones, sharp angles, and limited soft tissue make traditional sockets painful. We use advanced padding, specialized socket designs, and custom-fitting techniques to eliminate pressure points.
Complex Wounds and Skin Grafts
Active wounds, skin grafts, or scar tissue complicate prosthetic fitting. We work with your medical team to design sockets that accommodate healing tissue while maintaining function.
Surgical Complications
Bone spurs, neuromas, uneven bone cuts, or revision surgeries create fitting challenges. We've handled hundreds of these cases and know how to work around complications others consider impossible.
Bilateral Amputations
Losing both legs or both arms requires specialized fitting, training, and support. Our team has extensive experience helping bilateral amputees regain independence with custom solutions for both limbs.
Obese Patients
Standard prosthetics aren't designed for larger body types. We create custom sockets and suspension systems that distribute weight properly, fit comfortably, and function reliably for patients of all sizes.
Why Complex Cases Choose Orthotics Limited
Experience Is Everything
Our team has fitted thousands of difficult cases over 40 years. What stumps other prosthetists is routine for us.
Advanced Technology Meets Personal Touch
3D scanning, 3D printing, bionic components, and advanced materials give us more options to solve complex fitting challenges, combined with hands-on expertise that technology alone can't replace.
Patience and Persistence
Difficult cases take time. We don't rush. We fit, test, adjust, and refit until your prosthesis works the way it should.
Collaboration With Your Medical Team
We work directly with your surgeons, wound care specialists, physical therapists, and any other providers to coordinate care and ensure your prosthetic fits your complete medical picture.
How It Works for Unique Cases
We'll evaluate your limb, discuss your challenges, and give you a straightforward answer: Can we help? If we can, here's how. If we can't, we'll tell you that too.
No templates. We design your socket and prosthesis specifically for your limb's unique characteristics, using 3D scanning or hand casting, depending on what works best for your situation.
We create a test socket first. You wear it, we observe, we adjust. We repeat this process until it's right.
Once the test socket fits perfectly, we fabricate your permanent prosthesis with the components best suited to your body, lifestyle, and goals.
Complex cases often need more follow-up. We're here for adjustments, modifications, and troubleshooting as your body changes or your needs evolve.

Questions About Complex Prosthetic Cases
What if other prosthetists have turned me down?
That’s exactly why we’re here. Bring us your medical records, and let’s see what we can do. Many cases that other providers consider impossible are routine for our team.
Will my insurance cover a complex prosthetic?
Most insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, cover medically necessary prosthetics regardless of complexity. We’ll verify your coverage and handle authorization.
How long does the process take for unique cases?
Complex cases typically take 4-8 weeks from consultation to final prosthesis. We don’t rush. Getting it right matters more than getting it fast.
What if my limb is still healing or changing?
We can fit you with a temporary prosthesis while your limb continues to heal, then create your permanent prosthesis once you’ve stabilized.
Do you work with my medical team?
Yes. We coordinate directly with your surgeons, wound care specialists, physical therapists, and any other providers involved in your care.
What if the prosthesis doesn't work perfectly?
We adjust until it does. Complex cases often require multiple modifications. We’re committed to getting it right, not just delivering a product and walking away.
Do you handle pediatric complex cases?
Yes. We create custom prosthetics for children with congenital limb differences, PFFD, and other unique pediatric cases that require specialized fitting and growth accommodation.
Can you help if I've already been fitted elsewhere, but it's not working?
Absolutely. We frequently help patients whose prosthetics from other providers aren’t functioning properly. We’ll assess your current prosthesis and determine whether adjustments or a new custom solution are needed.
