  • As it turns out I personally know someone who lost both legs from above the knee. Doctors reattached both of her feet backwards so as to use the ankle joints as knee replacements and a place to hang her prosthetic lower legs from. I almost blacked out the first time I saw them.

  • Yeah, was going to say the same thing. Not only is it possible but you can put it on backwards which gives you a far more useful limb than a thigh with no knee joint at all.

    Looks a bit weird obviously but who cares? Better to have use of your leg than worry about people being mean to you.

    Edit: now that's a new page fail. Really need a bit of context here.
