What happens when someone loses a leg?
When someone loses a leg they normally get a prostatic. If the limb is healing it is time for a amputation to get a prostheses. The amputation is a last resort only . If it is unable to improve the circulation they go with that. The functionality in the limb is now lost. A prostheses can restore some of the capabilities lost. Scientist still haven't figured out a way to make functionally provided by biological limbs. Although a fake leg is obviously fake they are becoming more and more like the real leg. Some material such as advanced plastic, and carbon fiber make the leg lighter and stronger.
If you do lose a limb your life is not interlay over, you can still function well with a prosthetic or without it.
