Golems are non-living "constructs" built with a special type of clay that allows them to function as servants to a group of people. When used to replace amputated limbs, the same special clay would be shaped to match the former limb, and though an unknown process, the new magic clay limb would be attached to the person. This is process is merely using an inanimate object to replace former limbs, which is far from being anything like necromancy.

TL;DR: Prosthetic limbs are associated with science, not the reanimation of formerly living matter.
