Short answer
How much does a prosthetic leg cost in Pakistan?
At our clinic a below-knee leg starts from PKR 80,000, about US$290, and an above-knee leg from PKR 150,000, about US$540. Imported carbon feet, silicone liners and microprocessor knees raise the price, up to several lakh rupees for a premium build. We can give a first estimate from photos on WhatsApp; the firm price follows the assessment at the clinic.

What a prosthetic leg is made of
The socket is made here for each person. The other parts come from imported makers such as Ottobock, Össur and Blatchford, or from reliable economy ranges, depending on how you walk and what you can spend.
Liner
A silicone or gel sleeve rolled onto the limb. It cushions the skin and helps hold the prosthesis on.
Socket
Built from a cast of your limb. Its fit decides your comfort far more than any brand name does.
Lock or valve
A pin lock, lanyard or one-way valve joins the liner to the socket so the limb stays on.
Knee joint
Only for above-knee and through-knee limbs. Mechanical, hydraulic or microprocessor controlled.
Pylon and foot
A tube to the right length, then a foot, from a simple cushioned heel to energy-storing carbon.
We fit parts from these makers when a patient needs them, alongside dependable economy components. Each part is ordered for the patient, and we are not an authorised dealer or partner of any manufacturer. How we choose components.

- Össur

Help from abroad, and for people flying in
Three ways people outside Pakistan work with the clinic.
Arranging a limb for a parent at home
You are in Dubai, Riyadh, London or Toronto and your father needs a leg in Pakistan. We assess him in Karachi and send you photos and updates on WhatsApp at every stage.
How arranging from abroad worksFlying to Karachi for your own fitting
Plan on about two to three weeks in Karachi for a standard below-knee leg, and longer for a first above-knee fitting. We plan the clinic visits around your flights.
Planning a fitting visitA limb made in another country
Sockets loosen as limbs change shape. We can make a new socket or fit a new foot to a limb built elsewhere, as long as the parts are sound.
Sockets and repairsStarting prices in rupees, dollars and dirhams
Prices here are set in Pakistani rupees, so the same limb costs far less than it would in most countries where our callers live. Published US prices for a basic below-knee leg commonly start around US$5,000, and computer-controlled legs run to US$70,000 or more before fitting visits are counted.
A low starting price is only useful if the limb is sound. The figure in each row is the simplest build we would put our name to, with a test socket and walking training. Imported feet, silicone liners and microprocessor knees move the price up in steps, and we explain each step before you choose.
| Fitting | From (PKR) | About (US$) | About (AED) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Below-knee leg | 80,000 | 290 | 1,060 |
| Above-knee leg | 150,000 | 540 | 1,980 |
| Knee disarticulation leg | 170,000 | 610 | 2,250 |
| Hip disarticulation leg | 300,000 | 1,080 | 3,960 |
| Syme's ankle limb | 110,000 | 400 | 1,450 |
| Silicone partial foot | 25,000 | 90 | 330 |
| Cosmetic arm | 60,000 | 220 | 790 |
| Body-powered arm | 150,000 | 540 | 1,980 |
| Silicone finger | 25,000 | 90 | 330 |
| Child's first leg | 45,000 | 160 | 590 |
| Replacement socket | 40,000 | 140 | 530 |
Converted at about PKR 278 to the US dollar and PKR 76 to the UAE dirham. The lowest figure is the simplest sound build for a straightforward limb; imported components and complex limbs cost more.
Compare prices by countryHow a fitting works, step by step
Seven stages from the first message to the follow-up visits.
- 1
Send photos and questions
Message the clinic on WhatsApp with photos of the limb, the amputation date and any old prosthesis. We reply with what is likely to work and a first estimate.
- 2
Assessment at the clinic
We examine the limb, check the skin, length and strength, and talk through how you want to use the limb: at home, at work, outdoors.
- 3
Cast or scan
A plaster cast or a scan of the limb becomes the model the socket is built on.
- 4
Test socket
A clear test socket is fitted first, so we can see the pressure points and change the shape before anything is final.
- 5
Final limb and alignment
The final socket is joined to the knee, pylon and foot, then aligned with a laser line while you stand and walk.
- 6
Walking training
Practice between parallel bars, then on steps and slopes, until walking feels steady and safe.
- 7
Follow-up
Limbs change shape in the first months. Expect small socket adjustments, and tell us early about any rubbing or redness.
For someone flying in, the clinic stages are usually planned across two to three weeks. Above-knee limbs and first-ever fittings can take longer.
Plain advice, including when the answer is not a new limb
A new prosthesis is not always the right next step. Sometimes an old socket can be padded or relined, sometimes the skin needs to heal first, and sometimes a wheelchair or a walking frame is the safer choice for a few months.
We would rather tell you that on WhatsApp than sell a limb that sits in a cupboard. If a fitting is right, we say what it will take, what it will cost and how long you will need in Karachi.

What we will not do
- Fit a final socket before the test socket fits well
- Recommend a microprocessor knee to someone who walks mostly indoors
- Give a final price before we have seen the limb
- Promise a walking date before the skin and the limb are ready
- Claim a partnership with a manufacturer that we do not have
Questions people ask us
Short answers to what callers from Pakistan and abroad ask most.
Ask your own questionDo you fit patients who live outside Pakistan?
Yes. People fly to Karachi for a fitting, and families abroad arrange limbs for relatives who live here. Start on WhatsApp with photos of the limb, and we will tell you what is likely to be needed and how long the clinic stages take before you book a flight.
How long will I need to stay in Karachi?
For a standard below-knee leg, plan on about two to three weeks between the first assessment and walking training. Above-knee legs, both legs, or a first fitting soon after an amputation can take longer, and we will say so once we have seen your photos.
Can you replace the socket on a leg made in another country?
Usually, yes. If the knee, pylon and foot are in good order, we can make a new socket and liner to fit them. We check every part first and tell you if anything is worn out.
Do you make arms, hands and fingers as well as legs?
Yes. We make cosmetic and body-powered arms, partial hands and silicone fingers, with the colour matched to the skin of the other hand.
Can someone with diabetes get a prosthetic leg?
Most people can, once the wound has fully healed and their doctor agrees. Sockets for diabetic limbs are fitted with extra care because damaged skin heals slowly. Bring recent sugar readings and the surgeon's notes to the assessment.
What should I send on WhatsApp first?
Two or three clear photos of the limb from the front and the side, the date of the amputation, your height and weight, and a photo of any old prosthesis. A short video of you walking with the old leg helps too.
