Ask a veterinarian because I have no idea but if you asked the vet you will get an answer!

Do you have an aquatic turtle? They do fine in the water with three legs. They adapt and the three legs get stronger and it can live a healthy normal life.
If it is a land turtle, sometimes rehabbers will but a small toy wheel as a limb, but once again, three limbs is not too bad, they can still get around. I have seen some terrible damage and they are left with two limbs or no limbs.
If your turtle has healed and has three limbs, I would not worry too much. It will just struggle a little, but it will adapt. They are resilient creatures that have been around for millions of years before we were around.
Good luck.

A true prosthetic limb would be difficult and expensive. Aquatic turtles really don't need them, and even land turtles tend to manage.
You CAN use a 'mini-skateboard' for land turtles if you need
