Prosthetics

Children's Prosthetic Limbs in Centurion, Pretoria

Prosthetic legs and arms for babies, children and teenagers, adjusted and replaced as they grow.

Children grow fast and want to keep up with their friends. Paediatric orthotics and prosthetics is our special interest, and we fit prosthetic legs and arms for babies, children and teenagers in Centurion and across Gauteng.

Who it helps

Children born with a limb difference, and children who have had an amputation after injury or illness. We see families from the first prosthesis, often around the time a baby starts to pull up to stand, through to the teenage years.

How we work with your child

Calm, child-friendly appointments with time to play and ask questions.
Plain-language explanations for parents at every step.
Bright socket designs and covers that your child can help choose.
Close contact with your child's paediatrician, surgeon, physiotherapist and occupational therapist.

Growing with your child

Children usually need adjustments every few months and a new prosthesis as they grow. We design sockets with growth in mind and plan reviews so your child is never stuck in a prosthesis that no longer fits.

Medical aid and funding

We accept medical aid, RAF and WCA/COIDA patients and help with the paperwork, including quotations and motivation letters. See how funding works.

Common questions

You do not always need a referral to book an assessment. Some medical aids and funders ask for a doctor's referral or prescription before they pay, so check with your scheme, and bring any letters, X-rays or reports you have.

Children grow in spurts, so devices need regular checks. Many can be adjusted for a while before a new one is needed. We plan reviews around your child's growth and tell you early when a replacement is coming.
