The comprehensive hip and knee check at ENDOPROTHETICUM Rhein-Main

Hip pain or knee pain? Find out which treatment might be right for you.

Hip and knee pain are among the most common causes of restricted mobility and reduced quality of life. Many people suffer from pain for months or even years when walking, climbing stairs, playing sports, or at rest. Often, everyday activities such as putting on shoes, taking walks, or even getting a good night's sleep become increasingly challenging.

At the same time, many of those affected are asking a crucial question:

Do I already need a hip or knee replacement – ​​or are there other treatment options?

This is precisely where the comprehensive hip and knee check offered by ENDOPROTHETICUM Rhein-Main in.

Our structured online check allows you to record your symptoms and provide us with important information about your current situation. Our experienced team will carefully review your information and help you plan the next sensible steps.

When is a hip and knee check advisable?

Our online check is aimed at people who suffer from hip or knee joint problems and would like an initial assessment.

The check is particularly useful in the following cases:

• Hip pain
• Knee pain
• Hip osteoarthritis
• Knee osteoarthritis
• Groin pain
• Pain when climbing stairs
• Pain while walking
• Movement restrictions
• Night pain
• Uncertainty about the correct treatment
• already recommended hip prosthesis
• already recommended knee prosthesis
• Desire for an independent second opinion

Even if X-rays or MRI scans are already available, a hip and knee check can be a useful preparation for a personal consultation.

What questions does the hip and knee check?

Many patients are unsure whether their symptoms already require surgery.

Our check helps you to prepare the following questions in a structured manner, among others:

• Could my symptoms be caused by osteoarthritis of the hip or knee?
• Are conservative treatment options still worthwhile?
• Is it already the right time for a hip or knee replacement?
• Is a partial knee replacement a possible option?
• Could a modern short-stem prosthesis be suitable for me?
• Is a second opinion advisable?

The online check is of course not a substitute for a medical examination. However, it serves as an initial guide and facilitates preparation for an individual consultation.

What happens after filling it out?

After you submit your hip and knee check, your information will be reviewed by our team.

If you have already uploaded X-ray images or medical reports, these can be included in the initial assessment.

We will then contact you and discuss the next steps together.

Depending on the individual situation, the following recommendations, for example, may be useful:

• personal introduction at the ENDOPROTHETICUM Rhein-Main
• conservative treatment
• supplementary diagnostics
• Obtaining a second opinion
• Consultation regarding a hip replacement
• Consultation regarding a knee replacement

Each recommendation is made individually and is based on your personal complaints, your mobility and your expectations.
