Joint Endoprosthetics in Germany

More than 500000 patients receive endoprosthesis annually in Germany. Germany is one of the leading countries in the world for the quality of joint endoprosthetics thanks to technological progress and individual approach. Patients from various countries come for help in German clinics.

The most frequent causes for the joint replacement are:

• Arthritis (hip joint arthrosis - coxarthrosis, knee joint arthrosis - gonarthrosis);
• Congenital dysplasia of the joint (e.g. hip dysplasia);
• Intra-articular fracture;
• Systemic disease (e.g., rheumatism);
• Tumors;
• Inflammation of the joints;
• Necrotic resolution of the head of the hip joint.

The German orthopedists have many modern endoprosthesis of various shapes and sizes. Their individual production is necessary in some cases. An open (large) incision was the most common method of joints endoprosthesis until recently.

The minimally invasive technology for hip endoprosthesis was first used about 4 years ago in the United States. The surgery is performed through a small incision in this case, and at first it seems to the patient better tolerable. Minimally invasive joint endoprosthetics is more aesthetic because the scar is almost invisible. On the other hand it should be noted that this method raises more complications. This is a consequence of the small surgical field which makes it difficult to choose the right position of an endoprosthesis. We recommend our patients the classic endoprosthesis replacement.

Joint Endoprosthetics in the best clinics of Germany is not as expensive as you think! After the surgery you get a full rehabilitation after which you will immediately return to your daily activities and even take sports.
