Freelance has covered pretty much all the known prosthetics we see in lore. Which one your character might choose to utilize is really dependant on the character and backstory.
Most commonly used by roleplayers are the magitek limbs, which while canon, would likely be incredibly difficult to come by unless your character is Garlean, a member or rich acquaintance with the defectors of the Garlond Ironworks or Illuminati. Though some skilled goblin tinkerers may also be able to fashion one, provided you have the requisite jingleshinies.
There's a few instances in lore about people losing limbs (and it doesn't seem like any chirurgeons are able to grow them back), but magic has been used for this purpose in some roleplays. Personally, I'd like to see more people with Eorzean clockwork prosthetics, something the goldsmiths' guild and Frondale's Phrontistery would collaborate on. Still likely to be beyond the budget of most citizens, it'd still be nice to see Eorzeans repping Eorzean technology.
As for my own character, Sounsyy has lost a finger on her shieldhand about a year ago and, while her hand is no longer broken, she's still suffering the consequences- loss of grip strength, damaged reflexes and tactile sensations in that hand, PTSD from the event, and the rare phantom pain when she's not dulling her senses with drink.
One of the biggest challenges I've found RPing this kind of injury is about casually bringing it up without diverting your entire rp to it. So, I try to just forgo mentioning it unless something comes up where it's necessary to mention. This might be a little more difficult when missing a leg versus a finger? Sounsyy has no plans to get the digit replaced, especially with magitek, which, as an Ala Mhigan she loathes even seeing anywhere.
