Hip solutions to bring back your mobility

Aside from total hip replacement with a full cemented or non-cemented prosthesis, minimally invasive total hip replacement has become more and more prominent in recent years. With these, you generally have to differentiate between a minimally invasive implantation technique that protects joints and soft tissue or if the implantation of so-called mini-prosthesis is advised. Depending on the patient’s initial condition, the gentle, minimally invasive approach is done as a standard.  

Based on our experiences and results of international studies, we implant so-called mini-prosthesis very rarely, as it is currently not clear whether these prosthesises hold a long-term advantage over the standard treatments.

Revision surgery has a special significance these days. There are clear rules which ensure that, in the event of a revision surgery, reaction is different in case of a so-called aseptic loosening of the prosthesis (normal wear and tear of the implant) than it would be in case of a septic loosening of the prosthesis. Planning of such procedures always takes place individually and is based on the extensive results of the European registry for endoprosthetics and currently available scientific literature.
