First-class care in endoprosthetics: The Endoprotheticum Rhein-Main

Experience, state-of-the-art technology and a patient-oriented approach play a crucial role in endoprosthetics. The Endoprotheticum Rhein-Main in Mainz has established itself as one of the best addresses in the field of hip and knee joint replacements. With an interdisciplinary team, state-of-the-art surgical techniques and individually tailored follow-up treatments, the center offers comprehensive care for patients in the entire Rhine-Main area.

What is endoprosthetics?

Endoprosthetics refers to the replacement of a destroyed joint with an artificial implant. Weight-bearing joints such as hips and knees are often affected. The aim of the operation is to relieve pain and sustainably improve mobility.

The interventions are particularly necessary for diseases such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or after accidents. Thanks to modern materials and techniques, artificial joints can now have a lifespan of 15 to 20 years or more.

Indications for joint replacement

The main reasons why joint replacement becomes necessary include:

Primary osteoarthritis (age-related joint wear).

Secondary osteoarthritis following injury or infection.

Rheumatoid diseases.

Misalignments, e.g. B. X or O legs.

Post-traumatic conditions such as fractures.

The Endoprotheticum Rhein-Main offers specialized diagnostic procedures to ensure an exact indication.

Special features of hip prostheses

The hip prosthesis is one of the most frequently used artificial joints. During the operation, the damaged femoral head is removed and replaced with a prosthesis made of titanium or ceramic.

State-of-the-art techniques at the Endoprotheticum Rhein-Main

Short-shaft prostheses: This method is particularly gentle on the tissue and is well suited for younger patients.

Minimally invasive approaches: The AMIS or ALMIS approach reduces blood loss and leads to faster recovery.

Patients benefit from extremely precise diagnoses and individually tailored therapy.

Knee prostheses – custom-made for maximum mobility

The knee prosthesis is particularly demanding because the knee consists of three compartments (outer and inner joint space and kneecap). Depending on the damage, a distinction is made between a partial prosthesis (sliding prosthesis) and a total endoprosthesis (TEP).

Advantages of the Endoprotheticum Rhein-Main

Risks and complications – reduced to a minimum

Every surgical procedure carries risks. Possible complications of an endoprosthesis include:

Infections: These are minimized as best as possible through pre- and intraoperative hygiene measures on the endoprosthetic.

Loosening of the prosthesis: Rare thanks to modern implants and optimized surgical procedures.

Thrombosis: Prevention with modern medication, blood thinners and immediate exercise after the operation.

Preparation for surgery

Optimal preparation for an endoprosthetic operation contributes significantly to its success. At the Endoprotheticum Rhein-Main, patients receive a comprehensive preparation program:

Medical check-ups: ensuring a stable state of health.

Preoperative physiotherapy: strengthening the muscles for better rehabilitation.

Explanation of the process: Reduces fears and prepares you optimally for your hospital stay.

Rehabilitation and aftercare – a successful return to life

Aftercare plays a central role in long-term patient satisfaction. Rehabilitation often begins on the day of the operation with initial walking exercises under physiotherapeutic guidance.

The Endoprotheticum Rhein-Main supports follow-up treatment with:

Physiotherapeutic programs: increasing strength and mobility.

Follow-up training: integration into fitness programs for everyday life.

Regular check-ups for long-term prosthetic function.
