About the department
The Department of Arthroplasty at the Helios ENDO-Clinic Hamburg offers the full range of modern surgical interventions for total and partial knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, and ankle replacement surgery. The department's specialists also have vast experience in revision interventions for the replacement of artificial joints in the case of their damage, displacement, or wear, as well as septic interventions for treating joint infections. The department's surgeons annually perform more than 9,000 surgical interventions on the joints, and therefore, they have a wealth of experience, which allows them to achieve excellent treatment results. The medical facility holds a leading position at the international level in the field of joint replacement surgery. Joint surgery is performed using the very latest and most effective techniques, usually minimally invasive, due to which patients recover very quickly after their surgical treatment and experience virtually no pain. In their work, doctors use only high-quality endoprostheses, the service life of which reaches 20 years. The specialists always devote enough time to counseling patients and telling them in detail about their upcoming treatment. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Thorsten Gehrke.
The department specializes in the replacement surgery of all joints, namely the hip, knee, shoulder, elbow, and ankle. The department's surgeons perform interventions in state-of-the-art operating rooms, equipped with all the technical innovations for the most effective and, at the same time, safe treatment. The operation is preceded by accurate planning, including the selection of an optimal surgical technique and the most suitable endoprosthesis, or custom-made one. Only high-quality prostheses are used in clinical practice, which are distinguished by their long service life, ranging from 15 to 20 years. The department's surgeons always give preference to innovative minimally invasive interventions. When performing joint replacement surgery, doctors often use computer navigation systems to position the prosthesis as accurately as possible, thereby ensuring its long-term service life and high treatment efficiency.
Proper postoperative recovery is required to consolidate a successful surgical treatment. For this purpose, the department uses the FastTrack concept, which allows a patient to minimize postoperative pain, as well as ensures a quick restoration of mobility and significantly reduces the duration of a hospital stay. On the day of the operation, patients already take the first steps, and a day later they are ready to perform a certain set of physiotherapeutic exercises. In the normal course of the postoperative period and in the absence of complications, a patient is discharged or sent for rehabilitation on the fifth day after the operation. It should be noted that this regimen is suitable only for 80% of patients. It all depends on a particular clinical case. The decisive factors are the age, the patient's general health condition, and the presence of concomitant pathologies.
A big advantage for patients is also the presence in the department of an in-house Bone Bank, which allows patients to restore their lost or damaged bone tissue at any time during prosthesis replacement surgery. This bank has been operating for over 40 years and provides patients with access to allogeneic (donor) grafts. The Bone Bank was designed and operated in accordance with the recommendations of the Scientific Advisory Board of the German Medical Association for Bone Bank Management and the German Medicinal Product Act.
The department's team of surgeons is also deservedly proud of their successful results in the field of revision joint replacement surgery. Such operations are aimed at replacing previously implanted prostheses in the event of their wear, displacement, infection, etc. A modern artificial prosthesis usually lasts 15-20 years, after which it needs to be replaced. After the implantation of the endoprosthesis, a patient may sometimes develop an infection that affects the artificial joint, the treatment of which requires its total removal and other therapeutic manipulations. Revision interventions are considered technically more complex than primary prosthesis placement and require a surgeon to have vast experience in this area. The department's specialists perform more than 2,000 revision knee and hip replacement surgeries each year, which is the highest rate in all of Germany.
The department's key clinical focuses include:
- Hip replacement surgery
- Primary hip replacement surgery (cemented and cementless fixation)
