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.

About the department

The Department of Adult and Pediatric Orthopedics, Foot Surgery at the University Hospital Greifswald provides the full range of services for surgical and conservative treatment of musculoskeletal diseases. The medical facility admits patients of all age groups, including young children and adolescents. One of the key areas of the department's specialization is knee and hip replacement surgery. The department is a Maximum Care Arthroplasty Center certified in accordance with endoCert standards. The center performs more than 600 joint replacement surgeries annually. The doctors at the medical facility have unique experience in arthroscopic surgery, microsurgical interventions, minimally invasive operations, and septic surgery. The department also offers an innovative cartilage cell transplant procedure, which allows patients to restore severe damage to the articular cartilage. In addition, various foot diseases and injuries are treated here. The department's orthopedic team always strives to provide conservative treatment. If the patient still requires surgery, sparing surgical techniques are used, allowing him to restore mobility and return to his usual way of life as soon as possible. More than 1,800 inpatient operations and about 500 outpatient interventions are performed in the department's operating rooms annually. The Head Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Georgi Wassilew.

The department has the status of one of the best medical facilities in Germany specializing in knee and hip replacement surgery. The department's surgeons are competent in primary joint replacement surgery and revision interventions to replace previously implanted knee and hip joint prostheses. In addition, the department offers surgical procedures to implant prostheses individually made on a 3D printer. These are indicated for patients with extensive bone defects. The main indication for joint replacement surgery is advanced arthrosis. The department's doctors have state-of-the-art computer equipment that helps them optimally plan the course of a surgical intervention. During operations, navigation systems are also used to ensure the most accurate implantation of the prosthesis and its excellent performance. In almost all cases, the department's surgeons manage to perform joint replacement surgery using minimally invasive techniques, thanks to which patients quickly get back on their feet.

The department's special offer is an autologous cartilage cell transplant. As of today, this therapeutic technique gives excellent chances for a complete cure for knee arthrosis and the restoration of cartilage with autologous tissues. A cartilage cell transplant consists of several stages: cartilage cell harvesting from a patient using minimally invasive techniques, cultivating the obtained biological material in a high-tech laboratory, and implanting cultured cartilage cells using minimally invasive techniques. As a rule, the interval between the first and second surgeries is about 6-8 weeks. After the completion of the transplant, the cartilage continues to grow in the joint and fills the defect. About 2 days after the operation, the patient can leave the hospital. He should follow his doctor's recommendations and avoid increased load on the joint for 6 months. Normal weight-bearing of the knee is allowed as early as 3 months after an autologous cartilage cell transplant. This transplant procedure is available only in a small number of the world's medical facilities and provides excellent results.

The department's clinical practice includes foot surgery. Of particular interest is conservative and surgical treatment for arthrosis, toe deformities, hallux valgus, hallux rigidus, Morton's neuroma, ligament tears, chronic ankle instability, Achilles tendon rupture, heel spurs, and other pathologies. A treatment regimen is selected for each patient individually, while doctors strive to perform effective conservative treatment, and surgery is the last-line therapy.

The department also treats musculoskeletal diseases in children. Orthopedists most often deal with congenital pathologies, including X- and O-shaped lower limb deformities, unequal leg length, hip dysplasia, clubfoot, scoliosis, etc. The entire range of conservative and surgical treatment methods for children and adolescents is available in the medical facility. Congenital deformities in children quite often require surgical repair. Operations in young patients are mainly performed using low-traumatic surgical techniques, which contribute to the child's rapid postoperative recovery.
