There are a few dedicated surgeons in the world who have dilligently acquired the knowledge of biomechanics and are actively involved in the rehabilitation of the amputees. As their availability is at premium they are obviously very much in demand. Certified orthotics and certified prosthotics can not fill the void of want of remodelling an amputed stump or lack in the knowledge of bilological functions as is known to the surgeon. Hence there is a resurgence of want of prosthetic surgeons. Many countries including India has prosthetic surgeons.
