My father got a card with a Xray picture of the prosthetic knee on it to show at the airport. Perhaps, the airport security is familiar with these cards. If you don't have one, maybe you can write to the company or get one from your doctor.

How about

Tengo una prótesis como rodilla.

Check with a native first as this may be some form of idiom for "I have a bomb".

My father received a medical card stating that he had a replacement knee.

Perhaps a Spanish equivalent is available.
