How program is carried out

Preliminary preparation for hip replacement includes quitting smoking and drinking alcohol; cancelling non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (diclofenac, ibuprofen); cancelling anticoagulants (warfarin); normalization of body mass, if possible.

Preoperative examination, including consultation with an anesthesiologist and necessary related specialists, takes 1-2 days. According to its results, the most suitable endoprosthesis is selected.

Hip replacement. The operation is performed under general anesthesia. The patient lies on his side, the affected leg is bent and fixed in this position. The surgeon makes an incision 15-20 cm long, minimally traumatizing the muscles and nerve endings. Through this incision, miniature instruments are inserted to remove the damaged joint structures. Healthy bone is adjusted for further reliable implant fixation.

The surgeon installs a femoral stem in the center of the upper part of the femur. Ball-shaped head of the joint is fixed on it. The surgeon also implants a special liner that facilitates movement of the leg and protects the structures of the prosthesis. After the primary fixation of the prosthesis components, the doctor assesses the joint range of motion, as well as the length and symmetry of the lower limb.

The implant is fixed with cement or cementless method. The doctor treats the operating field with antiseptics, conducts its final revision and sutures the wound layer by layer. A temporary drainage is installed in the joint, and a bandage is applied on top.

Postoperative care. During the first day after the intervention the patient stays in the intensive care unit, under round-the-clock medical supervision. After that, with a smooth course of the postoperative period, the patient is transferred to a regular ward and the drains are removed. The range of motion expands gradually, from light toes movements to walking. Walking with the use of walking aids is allowed in 3-5 days after the operation.

Rehabilitation. The rehabilitation program begins after the transfer of the patient from the intensive care unit to a regular ward. It includes physical activity (from exercises in bed in the early days to exercises in the gym), physiotherapy, massage (including lymphatic drainage), exercises in the water. The rehabilitation program is constantly being adjusted according to the needs of the patient.

About the department

According to the prestigious Focus magazine, the Department of Adult and Pediatric Orthopedics, Trauma Surgery, Foot Surgery at the Alfried Krupp Hospital in Essen-Ruettenscheid ranks among the top German medical facilities in the fields of its expertise!

The department provides the full range of diagnostic and therapeutic services to patients with musculoskeletal injuries and diseases. The department offers medical care to patients of all age groups – from young children to adults and the elderly. The department's specialists admit more than 5,500 inpatients every year. The medical facility also provides outpatient medical care. The department enjoys the status of a regional Trauma Center certified by the German Society for Trauma Surgery (DGU). Joint replacement surgery is one of the priority areas of the department's clinical practice. The medical facility has been awarded the endoCert certificate in this medical field, which confirms the high efficiency and safety of joint replacement surgery. The team of the department's doctors prefers modern treatment methods: whenever possible, specialists use only conservative treatments, and if there are absolute indications for surgery, they resort to minimally invasive, arthroscopic and endoscopic interventions. The surgical treatment involves the use of advanced computer navigation systems, which guarantee high accuracy of each surgeon's manipulation. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Sven Lendemans.

One of the priority tasks of the department's orthopedists is the treatment of joint diseases. Since 2018, the department has been certified as a Joint Replacement Center by the German Society for Orthopedics and Orthopedic Surgery (DGOOC). Only the best orthopedic clinics in Germany receive such a quality certificate, and therefore it is a guarantee of top-class medical services and high competence of surgeons. The department is most often visited by patients with hip and knee pain. The department also provides medical care to patients with shoulder and ankle pathologies. The most common causes of joint dysfunction are arthrosis (joint tissue degeneration), infections and cancer. Doctors often have to resort to arthroplasty (joint replacement surgery), since most patients seek medical care at the advanced stages of the disease, when conservative methods are no longer effective. Arthroplasty is the only effective way to relieve pain, restore joint function, and eliminate movement limitations. The department performs partial and total joint replacement surgery. Total arthroplasty is usually the last-line therapy. The department's surgeons work with modern computer-assisted equipment that allows choosing the optimal model of the prosthesis or creating a 3D model of an artificial joint for its customized manufacturing in accordance with the patient's individual anatomical characteristics. Such an approach allows ensuring the best result of joint replacement surgery and maximally restore the patient's mobility. An undeniable advantage for the department's patients is that arthroplasty is performed using minimally invasive techniques, namely, through several small skin incisions. In addition, when performing surgery, doctors use intraoperative navigation, which makes it possible to place the prosthesis as accurately as possible. Depending on the complexity and volume of the forthcoming operation, arthroplasty can be performed under local or general anesthesia. After surgery, patients receive the necessary care. Physiotherapists also work with the patients, since they help them to get on their feet for the first time and restore joint movement. However, orthopedists of the medical facility strongly advise patients to undergo comprehensive rehabilitation in the specialized center.

The department is recognized as a regional Trauma Center (certificate of the German Society for Trauma Surgery, DGU), as it provides the full range of services for the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries. Particular attention is paid to emergency care for injuries, arthroscopic interventions on large joints in case of their lesions, treatment of pelvic and spinal injuries, as well as sports injuries. The department's specialists have unique skills in the treatment of patients with severe injuries and in the treatment of elderly patients (geriatric traumatology). The Trauma Center admits patients around the clock. There is also a helipad here, which makes it possible to transport patients extremely quickly.

An integral part of the department's clinical activities is the treatment of degenerative diseases and spinal injuries. Doctors have in their arsenal both conservative and surgical treatments. Conservative methods include infiltration therapy, periradicular therapy, facet and sacroiliac joint blocks, radiofrequency facet denervation, physiotherapy, manual therapy, medical training therapy, etc. If the results of the preliminary diagnostic examination indicate that attempts to eliminate pain and restore the function of the spine with the help of conservative therapy will be unsuccessful, surgical treatment becomes an option of choice. The department performs microsurgical interventions on intervertebral discs, intervertebral disc replacement surgery, surgery for spinal tumor resection, corrective interventions for traumatic and non-traumatic spinal deformities, spinal stabilization. Almost all spinal interventions are performed using sparing surgical techniques and intraoperative monitoring systems, which contributes to the high efficiency of treatment and its safety for the patient.

The department admits not only adults, but also children, since a specially trained team of pediatric orthopedists and traumatologists works here. The key interest in the field of pediatric orthopedics includes ultrasound scanning of newborns for the early detection of hip dysplasia, Perthes disease, slipped capital femoral epiphysis, joint inflammatory lesions, spinal curvature (kyphosis, scoliosis, Scheuermann's disease), congenital deformities (impaired bone growth, O-shaped and X-shaped deformities of the lower extremities), foot diseases (clubfoot, flat feet, heel foot), musculoskeletal tumors (osteosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, bone cysts), etc. The department's pediatric traumatologists carry out conservative and minimally invasive treatment of traumatic musculoskeletal injuries in children.

A special field of the department's work is the surgical treatment of foot pathologies. The surgeons of this specialization perform operations to repair hallux valgus, ankle arthroplasty, arthrodesis, surgical treatment of metatarsal injuries, repair of hammer and claw toes, nail bed plastic surgery, transplantation of ankle cartilage tissue, correction of complications of peripheral nerve lesions and compression syndromes of the foot, etc. The department mainly uses arthroscopic and minimally invasive surgical techniques, which can significantly reduce the period of postoperative recovery and alleviate pain.
