Endoprosthesis

What is Endoprosthetics?

Endoprosthetics is a modern method of treatment of the joints, where the damaged joint is replaced with an implant and its optimal function is restored. In the process of endoprosthetic, the affected anatomical joint with posttraumatic or degenerative injuries caused by congenital or acquired diseases is removed and replaced with an artificial joint. Our surgical team specializes in modern methods of endoprosthetics of hip, knee, shoulder, elbow and ankle joints.

 

When is endoprosthetics required?

Endoprosthetics (joint replacement) may be required for rheumatoid and other types of arthritis, injuries, osteoporosis, viral and infectious diseases, congenital anomalies and injuries. Endoprosthetics is also required in cases of increased pain on activity, limb length discrepancy, difficulties in self-care, and limitations on movement.

Hip Endoprosthesis

There are many types of endoprostheses. An endoprosthesis consists of components made from different materials (polyethylene, ceramics, titanium, etc.). The model of the endoprosthesis is chosen strictly individually, taking into account the functional and anatomical parameters of the joint, as well as the form and severity of the disease. In New Hospitals, only ultramodern, minimally invasive cementless titanium models with ceramic components are used. Compared with other models, these types of endoprostheses have a longer service life, and the mobilization of patients after their implantation is relatively quick and painless.

Knee Endoprosthesis

Endoprosthetics of the knee joints at New Hospitals is carried out using the Computer Assisted Operation System, which allows accurate measurements of the biomechanical and anatomical parameters of the joint and the entire limb during the operation. In addition, the size of the endoprosthesis, the degree of tension of the ligamentous apparatus, the point and direction of bone dissection are determined. This method allows improving the functional characteristics of the artificial joint and extending the service life of the endoprosthesis.
