Orthotic prostheses

A challenge we are happy to face

As the word orthotic prosthesis says, these are a combination of prosthetic replacement with orthotic support. This aid is predominantly used in the case of congenital malformations or tumour diseases of the lower extremities. The structure of the components that surround the body resemble orthoses, but the distance between the floor and the body is overcome with prosthetic components. In addition to a great deal of sensitivity and experience, the adjustment and production of an orthotic prosthesis requires a high level of willingness on the part of the prosthetists to find creative solutions as there are virtually no predefined care concepts in this area.
The best-known of this type of aid is the orthotic prosthesis used in the case of a Borggreve autograft (rotationplasty).

Orthotics and prosthetics

This field of aid provision benefits from advances in the fields of orthotics and prosthetics. Material developments can be used in a particularly profitable manner. Space-saving components that are as light as possible are required for the parts as the remaining body structures often do not leave much space.

A selection of our offers

Orthotic prosthesis for rotationplasty
Innovative, unconventional and needs-based

The Borggreve autograft (rotationplasty) can be used in the case of tumour diseases such as osteosarcoma. Rotationplasty is complex and requires considerable experience. Over recent years, Orthotec has made a name for itself in this field of provision with numerous innovative solutions and the use of silicone inner shoes.
Lower leg orthotic prostheses
Creative, modern and individually coordinated

Dysmelia is a congenital malformation of an extremity. If these malformations affect the bones of the foot and lower leg, orthotic prostheses are used to bridge the distance between the body and the floor, taking any misalignments into account. Given the usually extremely young people affected, in addition to sensitive care and an extremely precise fit, the visual appearance of the aid is also of great significance.
Upper leg orthotic prostheses
Unique, appealing and thoughtfully fitted

If the growth deformity (hypoplasia and aplasia) of the leg causes shortening that also requires use of a prosthetic knee joint, this is called an upper leg orthotic prosthesis. During treatment, it is essential to consider that the adjoining hip joint might also have not developed in a complete and stable manner. This means that the static construction of the orthotic prosthesis is important for the prevention of consequential damage such as osteoarthritis of the hip joint.
