A prosthesis as defined by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services as “…devices that replace all or part of an internal body organ or replace all or part of the function of a permanently inoperative or malfunctioning internal body organ.” Prosthetics include limbs, eyes, teeth, and facial bones. It is important to note that DXI Health Solutions Orthotics & Prosthetics only does prostheses for limbs. There are two types of prostheses, endoskeletal and exoskeletal. Endoskeletal means that the prosthesis is supported by an internal pylon. Exoskeletal means the prosthesis is supported by an external frame. Your Prosthetist is the person in charge of your prosthetic care. DXI Health Solutions Orthotics & Prosthetics’ Prosthetists are experienced and have the skills and knowledge necessary to provide the best prosthesis for you.
