Minimally invasive navigated knee replacement Vienna
Your specialist for minimally invasive navigated knee replacements in 1180 Vienna.
In modern endoprosthetics, total knee arthroplasties (knee TKA) are increasingly implanted using minimally invasive techniques to enable patients to recover as effectively as possible. By using a minimally invasive approach, such as the midvastus approach, important structures such as muscles and tendons are protected. This technique significantly minimizes trauma to the knee joint and supports faster postoperative recovery.
Another central element of this surgery is high-precision computer navigation, which customizes the implantation of the knee prosthesis precisely to the patient’s individual anatomy. This computer-assisted navigation ensures optimal alignment and positioning of the prosthesis, which leads to improved functionality and a longer lifespan of the implant.
The use of an surgical robot, such as the CORI system, takes this precision to the next level. The robot assistant enables a detailed 3D representation of the knee joint during the operation and guides precisely through the procedure. This not only ensures an exact fit of the prosthesis, but also minimizes the risk of malpositioning and increases the durability of the implant.
To further support the healing process, I also rely on local infiltration anesthesia as part of a multimodal, perioperative pain therapy. This method contributes significantly to reducing postoperative pain, minimizing the need for painkillers and accelerating mobilization after the operation.
These minimally invasive techniques offer you significant advantages: less postoperative pain, a faster return to everyday activities and a functionally optimal result. As an internationally recognized expert in endoprosthetics, I perform the implantation of minimally invasive navigated knee replacements as standard and place particular emphasis on achieving the best results for my patients.

Diagnosis and treatment – Minimally invasive navigated knee replacement in Vienna:
As a specialist in minimally invasive knee replacements in Vienna, I place great emphasis on a precise diagnosis in order to determine the optimal treatment approach for your knee problems. The first step in the diagnosis involves a detailed medical history and clinical examination, followed by state-of-the-art imaging techniques such as X‑rays, MRI and CT scans. These technologies make it possible to assess the exact condition of your knee joint and determine whether a knee replacement is the best solution for your symptoms.
Minimally invasive navigated knee replacement – Gentle technique for optimal results
Treatment with a minimally invasive navigated knee replacement begins with the decision for a minimally invasive surgical approach. This technique reduces surgical trauma because muscles and tendons are spared, resulting in less postoperative pain and faster recovery. The navigated knee replacement offers the advantage that the implantation is performed using high-precision computer navigation. This technology enables an exact adaptation of the prosthesis to your individual anatomy, which optimizes the alignment and functionality of the new knee joint.
Advantages of minimally invasive navigated knee replacement and the use of a surgical robot, such as the CORI system:
- Protection of muscles and tissue: Thanks to the minimally invasive technique, muscles, tendons and nerves are not severed during the procedure, but merely pushed aside. This promotes faster healing and shortens the rehabilitation time.
- Precise implantation: Computer navigation ensures millimeter-precise placement of the prosthesis, which improves the functionality of the knee joint and extends the life of the implant.
- Reduced pain and faster mobilization: Thanks to the reduced tissue trauma and the use of multimodal pain therapy, patients experience less postoperative pain and can begin rehabilitation more quickly.
- Faster return to everyday activities: The minimally invasive technique and precise implantation enable patients to return to their normal everyday lives earlier and quickly regain their quality of life.

FAQs
Was ist eine minimalinvasive navigierte Knieprothese?
A minimally invasive navigated knee replacement is a procedure in which both a minimally invasive surgical technique and computer-assisted navigation are used to precisely adapt the prosthesis to the individual anatomy of the patient. The minimally invasive approach allows for smaller incisions and protects the muscles and surrounding tissue, leading to a faster recovery.
Welche Vorteile bietet eine minimalinvasive Knieprothese?
The greatest advantage of a minimally invasive knee replacement is the protection of muscles, tendons and nerves during the operation, which results in less postoperative pain and faster recovery. The navigation technology ensures millimeter-precise placement of the prosthesis, which improves joint function and extends the life of the prosthesis.
Für wen ist eine minimalinvasive navigierte Knieprothese geeignet?
This procedure is particularly suitable for patients with advanced knee osteoarthritis in whom conservative treatments are no longer sufficient. Patients who want to benefit from a faster recovery and a precise adaptation of the prosthesis are suitable candidates for this type of knee replacement. A thorough examination will help determine whether this method is the best solution.
Wie lange dauert die Heilung nach einer minimalinvasiven Knieprothese?
The healing time after a minimally invasive knee replacement is usually faster than with conventional procedures. Most patients can begin rehabilitation within a few days to weeks and resume light activities after about six to eight weeks. A full recovery, including a return to sporting activities, can take several months.
Wie wird die Prothese bei einer minimalinvasiven Operation navigiert?
During the procedure, high-precision computer technology is used to monitor the alignment of the prosthesis in real time. This enables an exact placement of the prosthesis that optimally fits the patient’s anatomy. This precision leads to better joint function and a longer lifespan of the prosthesis.
Welche Risiken sind mit einer minimalinvasiven navigierten Knieprothese verbunden?
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks associated with a minimally invasive navigated knee replacement, including infections, blood clots, and possible loosening of the prosthesis. However, the risks with this procedure are generally lower thanks to the minimally invasive technique and precise navigation. All potential risks should be discussed in detail before the operation.
Was kann den Heilungsprozess nach einer minimalinvasiven Knieprothese unterstützen?
The healing process can be supported by closely following a rehabilitation plan. This includes regular physiotherapy, exercise, a healthy diet and avoiding excessive strain. Specific instructions are individually tailored to the patient to optimize recovery.
Wie lange hält eine minimalinvasive navigierte Knieprothese?
The lifespan of a minimally invasive navigated knee prosthesis can be 15 to 20 years or longer, depending on the patient’s physical activity, the implant material used, and the precise placement of the prosthesis. Regular follow-up examinations are important to monitor the prosthesis and maximize its lifespan.
How does a minimally invasive knee prosthesis differ from a conventional knee prosthesis?
The main difference is that the minimally invasive method involves smaller incisions and spares the musculature, leading to faster healing. Computer-assisted navigation ensures more precise placement of the prosthesis. Conventional knee prosthesis surgeries typically require larger incisions and more extensive tissue trauma, which can lead to a longer recovery period.
When can one return to work after a minimally invasive knee prosthesis?
Returning to work depends on the type of activity. For sedentary work, a return is often possible after a few weeks. For physically demanding jobs, approximately three to six months of recovery time should be planned. The optimal time to return to work will be determined in consultation with me, based on the individual healing process.
When is it safe to drive again after a minimally invasive knee prosthesis?
After a minimally invasive knee prosthesis, it is generally recommended to wait at least 4 to 6 weeks before driving again. However, this depends on the individual healing process and the mobility of the operated leg. It is important that the patient is able to bend the knee pain-free and react quickly to the brake and accelerator pedals.
