Dr. Kas­pa­rek as an ex­pert at the Look He­alth Day

At the re­cent Look He­alth Day hos­ted by Uschi Pött­ler-Fell­ner, I had the ho­nor of be­ing in­vi­ted as a spea­ker and ex­pert on the to­pic of “Hip and Knee Os­teo­ar­thri­tis”. My pre­sen­ta­tion fo­cu­sed on the pos­si­bi­li­ties and ad­vance­ments in en­do­pro­sthe­tics – par­ti­cu­larly in the tre­at­ment with ar­ti­fi­cial hip and knee joints. 

Os­teo­ar­thri­tis of the hip and knee joint is one of the most com­mon joint di­se­a­ses and si­gni­fi­cantly im­pairs the mo­bi­lity and qua­lity of life of those af­fec­ted. In my pre­sen­ta­tion, I ex­plai­ned the cau­ses and sym­ptoms of this con­di­tion and de­mons­tra­ted how joint re­pla­ce­ment can res­tore qua­lity of life. 

A fo­cus was pla­ced on the mo­dern AMIS me­thod for hip re­pla­ce­ment, which I re­gu­larly use in my prac­tice. This in­no­va­tive tech­ni­que is mus­cle-spa­ring and al­lows for fas­ter re­ha­bi­li­ta­tion, as mus­cles and ten­dons re­main int­act du­ring the pro­ce­dure. This en­ables us to achieve op­ti­mal res­to­ra­tion of joint func­tion and a ra­pid re­turn to mobility. 

The field of knee re­pla­ce­ment also of­fers im­pres­sive ad­vance­ments to­day. Cus­tom-fit­ted pro­s­the­ses enable al­most na­tu­ral mo­ve­ment se­quen­ces and high sta­bi­lity. Pa­ti­ents can of­ten lead a pain-free and ac­tive life just a few months af­ter the procedure. 

An­o­ther cen­tral theme of my pre­sen­ta­tion was the re­turn to ac­ti­vity af­ter an en­do­pro­sthe­sis. Many of my pa­ti­ents re­port im­pres­sive re­sults: From hi­king to sports ac­ti­vi­ties like ski­ing – al­most any­thing is pos­si­ble to­day with an ar­ti­fi­cial joint.
I am gra­teful for the op­por­tu­nity to speak about these im­portant de­ve­lo­p­ments at the Look He­alth Day. As an ex­pert in this field, my goal is to enable pa­ti­ents to live a pain-free and mo­bile life th­rough state-of-the-art pro­ce­du­res such as hip and knee replacement. 

Should you suf­fer from hip or knee os­teo­ar­thri­tis, I cor­di­ally in­vite you to sche­dule an ap­point­ment at my prac­tice in Vi­enna. Tog­e­ther, we will find the best path to im­pro­ved qua­lity of life and mobility.
