The cost of a below knee prosthesis in Mexico typically ranges from $12,000 to $20,000. Prices can vary depending on the type of prosthetic limb (standard, energy-storing, or microprocessor-controlled), the materials used (carbon fiber, titanium), and the clinic’s expertise. In the United States, the average price is $45,000 (per Amputee Coalition). This means a below knee prosthesis in Mexico can cost about 64% less than in the U.S.
Mexican clinics usually include the initial consultation, custom prosthesis fabrication, fitting sessions, gait training, and follow-up adjustments. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the basic prosthesis, with extra charges for advanced components, physical therapy, and follow-up care. Always confirm what’s included with your chosen clinic.
