Worn joints limit mobility in everyday life. Our goal is better quality of life for our patients. The team of the Endoprosthetics Centre in Karlsbad, treats patients in accordance with the most up to date therapeutic techniques in order to ensure your ability to move and mobility until old age.
The team focuses its everyday work on the first-time artificial replacement of e.g. knee, hip, shoulder or ankle joints (so-called endoprosthetics). A further particular focus of the department is performing so-called exchange surgery. Here, old artificial joints are exchanged for patients, when these have e.g. loosened, if there is an infection or if the prostheses themselves show wear. Wherever possible, the specialists use gentle, so-called minimally invasive techniques. As well as in-patient treatment, many procedures are also provided for patients in our out-patients’ clinic.
The advantage for you at the SRH Hospital in Karlsbad:
The Department of Orthopaedics (endoprosthetics) is committed to reviewing the treatment results of all endoprosthetics procedures consistently and to recording complications. We participate in the Endoprosthetics Register Germany (www.eprd.de). The Register is a collaborative project involving doctors, hospitals, health insurance funds and industry for increasing the quality of implants. Thereby, we promote safety for our patients and we highlight high-quality treatment based on current scientific insights.
Our range of treatments is right for you if you have been diagnosed with substantial joint wear (osteoarthritis) in the shoulder, hip, knee or ankle joint or if existing artificial joints must be exchanged (so-called exchange surgery). As an essential aspect of our work, a confident consultation doctors in charge is always given priority. Together with the patient, the specialists lay the foundation for your treatment success. Likewise, it is a matter of course for us that your relatives will always find a sympathetic ear for their questions and concerns in our endoprosthetics specialists in Karlsbad.
