Hip Specialist Orthopedist Vienna – Hip Pain
Your hip specialist in Vienna – individual care for hip pain, hip joint arthrosis
Hip pain is one of the most common complaints in the area of the joints. Often the cause lies in a progressive wear and tear of the joint cartilage in the hip joint, known as hip joint arthrosis (coxarthrosis). This form of arthrosis usually develops over years.
In the initial stages, hip joint arthrosis often causes no or only minimal discomfort. However, as the degeneration of the joint progresses, the pain and movement restrictions increase, which can lead to a significant loss of quality of life.
Typical first signs are pain in the groin when walking or running, which can also radiate into the back or the thigh down to the knee.
In the further course of the disease, start-up pain often occurs, which manifests itself as hip or groin pain in the morning and improves after the first steps of the day. In addition, there is often an increasing stiffness of the affected hip and a limping gait.
As hip joint arthrosis progresses, the pain intensifies further, with affected individuals often experiencing pain even during periods of rest and at night.

Diagnosis and treatment of your hip pain
As your hip specialist in Vienna, I conduct a comprehensive clinical examination of the hip and adjacent joints such as the lumbar spine and the knee joint to diagnose hip osteoarthritis. In addition, an X‑ray examination is performed to determine the exact causes of your symptoms.
In the early stages of hip osteoarthritis, when the hip cartilage is not yet severely worn, various conservative, i.e. non-surgical, therapy options are available. These conservative treatments include:
Physiotherapy
Oral Medication Therapies
Surgical solutions for advanced hip osteoarthritis
If conservative methods are not sufficient and hip osteoarthritis is far advanced, surgical treatment may be necessary to provide you with improved joint function and thus a better quality of life. The implantation of an artificial hip (endoprosthesis) could then enable you to live a pain-free life.
As a recognized orthopedist in Vienna, I offer you the highest surgical quality with the most modern, muscle-sparing surgical techniques, including the AMIS technique (Anterior Minimally Invasive Surgery). This technique allows you to begin rehabilitation on the day of the operation. After the hip prosthesis has firmly fused with your bone, you will soon be able to resume sports such as running, golf, tennis or skiing without any discomfort. In the case of severe hip osteoarthritis or previous operations, another muscle-sparing approach can also be chosen in order to achieve the best possible functional result for you.
As an internationally recognized expert in the treatment of hip pain, I will provide you with comprehensive information about all suitable therapy options and will be at your side personally on your path to a life without pain.

My expertise is crucial for the accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of your symptoms, which is essential to successfully alleviate your symptoms and sustainably improve your quality of life.
Was ist Hüftgelenksarthrose (Coxarthrose)?
Hip osteoarthritis, also known as coxarthrosis, is a form of osteoarthritis in which the cartilage in the hip joint wears away. This leads to pain and restricted mobility, as the cartilage normally acts as a buffer that separates the bones and facilitates their movement.
Welche Symptome sind typisch für Hüftgelenksarthrose?
Typical symptoms of hip osteoarthritis include pain in the hip, which can often radiate into the groin, thigh, or even down to the knee. Those affected also frequently report stiffness in the hip area, especially after periods of rest, and increasing difficulty with everyday movements such as walking or climbing stairs.
Wann sollte man einen Orthopäden wegen Hüftschmerzen konsultieren?
A visit to the orthopedist is advisable as soon as regular or recurring pain occurs in the hip, especially if this pain impairs daily movement or if the pain worsens after periods of rest. Early diagnosis and treatment can slow the progression of osteoarthritis and improve quality of life.
Wie wird Hüftgelenksarthrose diagnostiziert?
The diagnosis of hip osteoarthritis typically begins with a physical examination and medical history, followed by imaging procedures such as X‑rays, which can show changes in the joint. If necessary, more advanced techniques such as MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) can also be used to obtain more detailed information about the condition of the joint and surrounding tissue.
Wie wird Hüftgelenksarthrose behandelt?
The treatment of hip osteoarthritis depends on the stage of the disease. In earlier stages, treatment options include physical therapy, medication for pain and inflammation, and injections such as hyaluronic acid or corticosteroids to relieve symptoms. In advanced osteoarthritis, when conservative therapies are no longer sufficient, surgery such as the implantation of an artificial hip (hip replacement) may be necessary.
