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

In endoprosthetics, experience, state-of-the-art technology and a patient-oriented approach play a decisive role. The Endoprotheticum Rhein-Main in Mainz has established itself as one of the best addresses in the field of joint replacement of hip and knee. With an interdisciplinary team, the latest surgical techniques and individually tailored aftercare, the center provides comprehensive care for patients in the entire Rhine-Main region.

What is endoprothetics?

Endoprosthetics refers to the replacement of a destroyed joint with an artificial implant. Weight-bearing joints such as the hip and knee are frequently affected. The aim of the surgery is to alleviate pain and improve mobility sustainably.

The interventions are particularly necessary in cases of diseases such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or after accidents. Thanks to modern materials and techniques, artificial joints can now achieve 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 after injuries or infections.

Rheumatoid diseases.

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

Post-traumatic conditions such as fractures.

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

Special features of hip prostheses

The hip prosthesis is one of the most commonly 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 Endoprotheticum Rhein-Main

Short stem prostheses: This method is particularly tissue-friendly 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, as the knee consists of three compartments (outer and inner joint space as well as kneecap). Depending on the damage, a distinction is made between a partial prosthesis (sledge prosthesis) and a total endoprosthesis (TEP).

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

Thrombosis: Prevention through modern medication, blood thinners and immediate mobilization after surgery.

Preparation for the surgery

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

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

Preoperative physiotherapy: Strengthening of the musculature for better rehabilitation.

Information about the procedure: Reduces anxiety and optimally prepares for the hospital stay.

Rehabilitation and follow-up care – successfully back to life

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

Physiotherapeutic programs: Increase in strength and mobility.

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

Regular follow-up examinations for long-term prosthesis function.
