Minimally invasive prosthetics

What does that mean?

Minimally invasive prosthetics is a surgical procedure in which joint replacement operations are performed using a small incision without cutting the muscles. It is an advanced technique that aims to speed up the healing process, minimize blood loss and improve post-operative rehabilitation. The procedure is used in joint replacement surgeries such as hip and knee replacements.
Minimally invasive prosthetics has proven to be an excellent method for joint disease surgery and is preferred by many patients as it results in faster recovery and less stress on the body. However, it is important to note that not all patients are suitable for this procedure and that the decision to undergo minimally invasive prosthetics depends on various factors. For example, the patient’s anatomy and individual needs play a decisive role.

Minimally invasive hip prosthesis Bonn

vs. classic hip surgery

The use of a hip prosthesis is always necessary when conservative treatment is no longer successful in cases of severe pain and restricted hip movement. A hip prosthesis is primarily used in cases of advanced hip osteoarthritis and complicated femoral neck fractures.

In classic hip surgery, an incision about 15 centimetres long is made on the lateral or posterior thigh. The thigh muscles and tendons have to be severed in order to reach the diseased hip joint.

In minimally invasive hip surgery, a natural muscle gap is used to reach the hip joint. Muscles and tendons are not severed, but pushed apart like a curtain. Once the hip prosthesis has been inserted, it falls back into place undamaged.

FAQ about: Minimally invasive hip prosthesis Bonn

Minimally invasive hip prosthetics is a surgical technique in which a hip prosthesis is inserted without the need for a large incision or muscle transection.

Minimally invasive hip prosthetics offer several advantages: faster recovery, less pain after the operation, less risk of bleeding and less risk of infection. In addition, the minimally invasive technique leads to a better cosmetic result, as the scar is smaller and less visible.
In principle, every patient is suitable for a minimally invasive hip prosthesis. Our treating surgeon will assess the patient’s condition and decide whether this technique is appropriate. In some cases, a conventional hip prosthesis may be the better option.
The surgeon uses special instruments to facilitate access to the hip. The prosthesis is then inserted through the small incisions and anchored into the bone. The muscles are affected as little as possible to speed up recovery.
As with any operation, there are risks and possible complications. These include infections, bleeding, nerve damage and problems with the prosthesis. Scientific data shows a lower likelihood of complications with a minimally invasive approach.
Recovery can be significantly faster than with a conventional method. Most patients can get up and walk within a few days of the operation. However, full recovery can take several weeks or months, depending on the patient’s individual situation.
The current results suggest a service life of at least 15-20 years.

Our aim is to offer you individual and holistic care. Before every hip operation, we carry out a comprehensive examination and consultation as well as the necessary diagnostics.
