For those with statutory health insurance
Modern hip and knee endoprosthetics also available for patients with statutory health insurance
Many people assume that treatment in a specialized private clinic is reserved exclusively for privately insured patients. However, there are actually various ways for patients with statutory health insurance to access specialized treatment for hip and knee replacements (total hip and knee replacements) under certain conditions.
The ENDOPROTHETICUM Rhein-Main in Mainz specializes in hip and knee replacement surgery. Our goal is to provide patients with high-quality, individualized, and state-of-the-art care – from the initial consultation to rehabilitation.
Especially in times of increasing waiting times, many affected individuals are looking for alternatives to long waiting lists and would like to find out about their options.
This page contains the most important information for people with statutory health insurance.
Hip replacement (total hip arthroplasty) without a long waiting time
Advanced hip osteoarthritis can significantly impair quality of life. Many patients suffer from pain when walking, putting on shoes, climbing stairs, or even at night in bed.
When conservative measures have been exhausted, an artificial hip joint can significantly improve the quality of life.

Knee replacement (total knee arthroplasty; unicompartmental knee replacement) without a long waiting time
Knee pain is one of the most common causes of restricted mobility in old age. A knee replacement often requires a waiting period these days. However, not all patients have to wait months for necessary treatment.

Individual cost coverage for hip replacements (total hip arthroplasty)
Many people with statutory health insurance are unaware that, under certain conditions, individual solutions for treatment outside of standard care may be possible.
On our information page we explain what is meant by individual cost coverage, when it may be applicable (e.g. artificial hip joint) and what steps are required for this.

Treatment in a private clinic despite statutory health insurance

Second opinion before a hip replacement (total hip arthroplasty)
Have you already been recommended for a hip replacement? Then an independent second opinion can be helpful.
Together with you, we will examine whether all conservative options have been exhausted and which operational solution seems best suited to your individual situation.

Second opinion before knee replacement (total knee replacement, partial knee replacement)
Especially with knee problems, there are often several possible treatment options. Not every case of osteoarthritis requires a total knee replacement immediately. A partial knee replacement may be sufficient.
A specialized second opinion can help to make the best individual decision.
