Interpreting the misunderstanding about how many years artificial limbs need to be replaced is worth collecting.

Nowadays, many friends (especially new friends) will encounter a question when they are preparing to install prosthetic limbs. How many years should the prosthetic limbs be replaced? This may be because prosthetic limb sales staff put forward during sales that prosthetic limbs need to be replaced every 3 to 5 months. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. More strictly speaking, the number of replacements of prosthetic limbs depends on the person, the event, and the situation. Below, the editor of 51 Prosthetics Network will answer the questions for you and eliminate your doubts.

First: because of people The use of prosthetics is variable for different people. People with good residual limbs will definitely walk more roads, so the parts of the prosthetic limb will definitely wear out more. Therefore, the use time of prostheses depends on the quality of the prostheses you wear. Because the production standards of prostheses are different, the wear resistance of prostheses is also very different (for example: brand, manufacturer, domestic, imported, etc.). The parts of each prosthetic limb have relevant parameters. You can ask the prosthetic limb salesperson about this. Another thing is how much you care for your prosthetic limbs. Just like driving a car, some people drive the same car longer. Therefore, the service life of prosthetic limbs will vary from person to person. Second: because of something The reason is that the person who needs to wear a prosthetic limb has an amputation due to some reason, such as a traffic accident, work injury, etc., which requires third-party compensation. So here we will mention how many years to replace the prosthesis, mainly for compensation. According to judicial practice, the life span judgments are 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, and 5 years; the compensation years judgments are life, 20 years, and once. Therefore, the service life of prosthetic limbs will vary depending on the situation.   Third: due to circumstances Because everyone's prosthetic limbs and residual limb conditions are different, some people have higher requirements for prosthetics and have a certain economic foundation. Therefore, the service life of prosthetic limbs will also vary depending on the situation.   Summary: Having said so much, in fact, the service life of prostheses mainly follows the first point [depending on the person]. In fact, the socket of the prosthesis is very important. If you find that the socket is loose when wearing the prosthesis, you must replace it with a new one. This cannot be done.
