Peg legs are a artificial body part that replaces a pawn's leg. It is the worst kind of leg available, but is better than having a missing foot or leg.
Acquisition
Unlike most other prostheses, peg legs don't have a separate item form and the materials require no previous work to turn into a prosthesis before installation. Instead, when ordering a surgical operation on a pawn, 1 Wood, 
2 Herbal medicines is consumed and the peg leg is added to the pawn. Notably, when removed the peg leg turns back into a wooden log.
Summary
Peg legs replace the user's entire organic leg. The peg leg has a part efficiency of 60%. This partially replaces the functionality of a normal leg - when coupled with the leg body part having a Moving importance of 50%, it results in restoring 30% moving per missing leg replaced, or a loss of 20% when replacing a healthy leg.
Moving, in turn, affects the following stats: Hunting Stealth, Melee Dodge Chance, Move Speed. This results in a directly proportional change to a pawn's move speed, and a change in melee dodge chance equivalent to losing 3.6 levels of Melee skill per leg replaced. Due to how the stat is fit to a post-process curve, this can result in the melee dodge chance dropping to 0% for pawns with skill under 9, when replacing one leg, or under 12 for both legs.
Each peg leg results in -10% character quality and thus a 10% reduction in the affected individual's pawn value.
As an artificial part, peg legs will give a mood buff to anyone with the Body modder trait, and a mood penalty to anyone with the Body purist trait.

The bottom line is that while a peg leg is significantly better than having a missing, or otherwise inoperative, leg, its replacement with a modern prosthesis should be strongly considered, depending how much that colonist relies on movement to do their jobs. In cases where only the foot is missing, a wooden foot will restore more mobility with only half the Moving penalty and the exact same material and research requirements.
