Prosthetic Leg Costs in Dubai 2025 — What to Expect
One of the first questions people ask after amputation is: how much does a prosthetic leg cost in Dubai? The answer depends on the amputation level, the technology chosen, and the provider. This guide gives you a clear picture of real costs in the UAE market.
Prosthetic Leg Prices by Type
Below-Knee Prosthesis (Transtibial) — AED 8,000 to AED 45,000
Below-knee prostheses preserve the natural knee joint, making them simpler and less expensive than above-knee options. The wide price range reflects the level of technology:
- Basic SACH foot with polypropylene socket: AED 8,000 – AED 15,000
- Dynamic-response carbon fiber foot: AED 15,000 – AED 30,000
- Waterproof/activity-specific designs: AED 20,000 – AED 45,000
Above-Knee Prosthesis (Transfemoral) — AED 15,000 to AED 150,000+
Above-knee prostheses require a prosthetic knee joint in addition to the foot, making them significantly more expensive:
- Mechanical knee with dynamic foot: AED 15,000 – AED 35,000
- Hydraulic knee unit: AED 25,000 – AED 55,000
- Microprocessor knee (C-Leg, Genium): AED 80,000 – AED 150,000+
Partial Foot Prosthesis — AED 3,000 to AED 12,000
For toe or forefoot amputations. Custom silicone or carbon fiber designs restore cosmesis and function.
