Prof. Dr. med. Karl Philipp Kutzner

Prof. Dr. Kutzner's specialization in hip and knee endoprosthetics makes him a nationally sought-after contact for patients with joint problems. From consultation to treatment, he assists his patients with empathy and expertise. He understands that joint problems such as osteoarthritis can have a significant impact on one’s quality of life, and does everything he can to help his patients achieve a better quality of life through individualized solutions. One of Prof. Dr. Kutzner's strengths is his emphasis on conservative treatment methods whenever still possible, despite his surgical focus. This underscores his commitment to the well-being of his patients and providing comprehensive care that extends beyond the surgical procedure. His expertise ranges from minimally invasive procedures to partial joint replacements and revision surgeries, providing a wide range of treatment options.

A leading expert for short-stem total hips

The right choice of hip arthroplasty is of great importance, as it can have a significant impact on the patient's quality of life. Prof. Dr. Kutzner has a great deal of experience and expertise in using short stems for this specialized surgical technique and the underlying philosophy. For many years, Prof. Dr. Kutzner has been conducting intensive research in the field of short-stem prostheses and regularly publishes the results in international journals. He has received several research awards in this field.
Compared to traditional hip prostheses, short stems are significantly shorter, which allows for a more natural loading of the bone and better preservation of the
natural bone structure. His vast expertise in the field of short-stem prostheses enables him to offer customized solutions that contribute to an active and pain-free life.

An enthusiast for partial knee joint replacement

In addition to providing complete knee implants (total knee arthroplasty), Prof. Dr. Kutzner specializes in implanting unicondylar replacements and partial knee implants. This benefits many younger osteoarthritis patients, who are usually in their 50s to 70s. Often, only individually partial compartments are affected by osteoarthritis—usually the inner joint portion, sometimes the outer, and in rare cases the patellar joint in isolation. Prof. Dr. Kutzner is convinced that a partial knee replacement can increase the quality of life, especially for younger patients, for many more years.

Cutting-edge medicine in the Rhine-Main region

The practice, the Endoprotheticum Rhein-Main, is located in Mainz, in the middle of the metropolitan region of the Rhine-Main area. It features excellent transport connections and is in the immediate vicinity of Frankfurt Airport. Parking is available directly in the parking lot of the practice location. Patients, therefore, come from far beyond the region for an examination or treatment.
With the private Lilium-Klinik in Wiesbaden, Prof. Dr. Kutzner has one of the most modern hospitals in Germany at his disposal for surgical care. Here, national and international patients can expect a successful mix of medical excellence, personal care, and a high level of comfort.

Individual consultation and patient satisfaction

Prof. Dr. Kutzner is particularly distinguished by his ability to design an optimal treatment specifically tailored to the individual needs of each patient. His approach ensures not only durability and function but also freedom from pain and high patient satisfaction. Thanks to his extensive experience and modern techniques, he is able to achieve first-class results. His practice, which is intentionally not registered with the statutory health insurance, allows him to devote sufficient time to each patient. However, besides private patients, also patients with statutory insurance are warmly welcomed. The costs of surgical procedures, even for patients with statutory insurance, can be covered by insurance companies in most cases.

In Prof. Dr. Karl Philipp Kutzner, you will find not only an outstanding orthopedic surgeon, but also an empathetic and dedicated physician who focuses on the needs of his patients and helps to provide them with an improved quality of life.
