Os­teo­ar­thri­tis in the Hip or Knee Joint – Fit and Pain-Free with Ar­ti­fi­cial Joints

Os­teo­ar­thri­tis in the hip and knee joints is one of the most com­mon di­se­a­ses, af­fec­ting about one-third of all in­di­vi­du­als over 60 ye­ars of age. In ad­van­ced stages, it leads to si­gni­fi­cant im­pairm­ents in qua­lity of life and mo­bi­lity. Once the joint car­ti­lage is com­ple­tely worn out, an ar­ti­fi­cial hip or knee joint re­pla­ce­ment can res­tore the nor­mal func­tion of the joint and enable an ac­tive, pain-free life.

Mo­dern Mi­ni­mally In­va­sive Procedures
“Th­rough the use of mo­dern sur­gi­cal tech­ni­ques, such as the AMIS me­thod for hip pro­ce­du­res and ro­bot-as­sis­ted knee pro­sthe­sis im­plan­ta­tion, the best pos­si­ble joint func­tion can be res­to­red. Many pa­ti­ents even for­get af­ter such pro­ce­du­res that they are wea­ring an ar­ti­fi­cial joint and can re­sume their fa­vo­rite sports like ten­nis, golf, or ski­ing wi­t­hout pain,” ex­plains the joint re­pla­ce­ment ex­pert, Priv.-Doz. DDr. Ma­xi­mi­lian Kasparek.
