What Makes Us Different?
Surgical Techniques
Since 2006, Amputee Associates has advocated for improved surgical techniques. We believe the surgery is at least as important as the prosthesis given to the patient.Learn More Here
Care Coordination

Clinical Prosthetist
Amputee Associates has redefined the role of clinical prosthetist by broadening their scope of practice through involvement in surgery, wound care, and rehabilitation planning.Learn More Here

And now for the next installment of the Ryan Fann story. After a period of time after his amputation, Ryan was ready to run again. He began to play football at age 5 and loved. He was named special teams MVP as a high school senior and became the first amputee to be invited to play in the Tennessee East West Shrine Bowl. During the game Ryan broke his prosthetic foot, which was designed for walking and not sports. Ever prepared, Ryan performed a field repair with duct tape and resumed play.
