How program is carried out

Standard program description:

  1. Preliminary preparation for surgery: quitting smoking and drinking alcohol 2 weeks before surgery; cancelling non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (diclofenac, ibuprofen); cancelling  anticoagulants (warfarin); normalization of body mass, if possible.
  2. Preoperative examination, including consultation with an anesthesiologist and necessary related specialists. X-ray examination and MRI of the hip joints are performed. The examination takes 1-2 days.
  3. Performing bilateral hip replacement.
  4. 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. Normal walking without the use of walking aids (crutches, cane) will become possible in 6-12 weeks.
  5. 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). After discharge from the hospital, the patient is transferred to a specialized rehabilitation clinic for 2 weeks, where he undergoes an advanced rehabilitation course.

Advantages of simultaneous bilateral endoprosthetics:

  • Reduced blood loss during surgery
  • Performing only one general anesthesia
  • Even load on both joints during rehabilitation, the patient does not spare the operated joint
  • Saving time and money (hospitalization period for bilateral endoprosthetics is on average 17-20 days, for unilateral it is 15 days for each surgery)
  • Reduced psychological stress
  • Higher quality of life (with unilateral prosthetics, the quality of life is reduced due to the second affected joint)

The possibility of simultaneous joint replacement is assessed by the doctor during the initial presentation in the clinic. In some cases, the doctor may give preference to two-stage joint replacement, with an interval of 1 week.

About the department

The Department of Adult and Pediatric Traumatology, Orthopedic Surgery, Spinal Surgery and Foot Surgery at the St. Antonius Hospital Eschweiler offers its patients accurate diagnostics and high-quality treatment of the full range of diseases of the musculoskeletal system. The department provides both conservative and surgical treatment of congenital and acquired orthopedic diseases. The medical facility is certified as a regional Trauma Center, so the department's specialists can offer patients of all ages effective treatment for injuries of any severity. The department also has endoCert certification, which confirms the excellent quality of surgery for partial and total knee, hip and shoulder replacement. An equally important focus of the department's work is the treatment of spinal diseases, the excellent results of which are awarded with the certificate of the German Society for Spine Surgery. The department's doctors apply their clinical experience and professional skills to provide optimal treatment and eliminate mobility restrictions for each patient.The department is headed by Dr. med. Oliver Heiber.

The doctors of the certified Endoprosthetics Center perform modern surgical interventions for partial and total knee, hip and shoulder replacement, including revision surgery to replace previously implanted prostheses. The doctors working in the department have over 30 years of experience in this field. In the course of a comprehensive diagnostic examination, the specialists assess the degree of joint damage, the advisability of the surgical procedure and possible contraindications. If the patient has no contraindications to surgical treatment, the preparatory stage begins – planning the intervention using computer programs. The decisive role in the success of treatment is also played by the optimal selection of the prosthesis, and therefore doctors use in their practice only high-quality endoprostheses that enjoy an impeccable reputation in the world market. Joint replacement surgery is performed using minimally invasive techniques, through several small skin incisions. Minimally invasive surgery is not inferior to classical open surgery in terms of its efficiency, but at the same time it has a number of undeniable advantages. These are mild pain, minimal risks of infection and postoperative complications, rapid recovery of mobility after the intervention and a short period of hospitalization.

The department also successfully performs arthroscopic interventions on the knee, hip and shoulder joints. Arthroscopic interventions can be performed both for diagnostic purposes, when non-invasive imaging diagnostics does not provide the required information for the diagnosis, and for therapeutic ones. During the procedure, the doctor makes one or two small skin incisions through which he inserts an arthroscope – a tube with a diameter of 4-5 mm with magnifying lenses and optical fiber. With an arthroscope, the doctor can examine the internal structures of the joint and carry out the necessary therapeutic manipulations by introducing special instruments through additional skin incisions. The department's medical team mostly performs arthroscopic interventions for impingement syndrome, frozen shoulder, rotator cuff tear, shoulder dislocation, pathological lesions of the articular lip and hip cartilage, meniscal and cruciate ligament injuries, pathological lesions of the knee cartilage, etc. The department's specialists perform thousands of arthroscopic procedures every year, so the patients can be sure of their high efficiency and safety.

One of the most important focuses for doctors of the medical facility is the treatment of spinal diseases and injuries. The department mostly admits patients with spinal disc herniation, spinal stenosis, facet arthrosis, spondylolisthesis, spinal fractures, including osteoporotic ones, chronic back pain, etc. The team of specialists in this medical field has in its arsenal both conservative and surgical treatment methods. Conservative therapeutic methods include infusion therapy, infiltration therapy, physiotherapy, manual therapy and others. Should surgery be required, the preference is given to minimally invasive surgical techniques. The treatment regimen is developed for each patient individually.

The department's service range is complemented by the treatment of congenital and acquired foot diseases. Whenever possible, the doctors strive to achieve a cure for pathology using conservative methods (special physiotherapy methods, wearing corrective orthopedic shoes, etc.). If conservative therapy does not give the desired result, doctors decide to perform a surgical procedure. The department uses sparing minimally invasive or arthroscopic techniques, which reduce trauma to healthy tissues and exclude long-term postoperative recovery. The specialists of the medical facility achieve excellent results in the treatment of such foot diseases and deformities as hallux valgus, hallux rigidus, Morton's neuroma, hammer and claw toes, heel spur, osteochondritis dissecans, chronic ankle instability and others. After the operation, the patient undergoes rehabilitation measures for early mobilization (in cooperation with physiotherapists).

The department's key clinical focuses include:

  • Conservative and surgical treatment of injuries of any severity in adults and children (within a certified Trauma Center)
  • Conservative and surgical treatment of knee diseases
    • Arthroscopic meniscus repair, including partial resection
    • Arthroscopic and minimally invasive knee cartilage surgery
