Center for artificial joint replacement - your specialist clinic in NRW


When is the time ripe for an artificial joint?

Do you have pain in your hip or knee? Do you already know that you need an artificial joint, but are afraid that it might be too soon? In order to be able to play sports again and romp around with the grandchildren, it is important that as much of your own bone as possible is preserved for the implantation of the artificial joint. If the time for an endoprosthesis is delayed too long, other parts of the patient's own joint may be affected and complications may arise. On the other hand, an artificial joint should not be implanted too early and the patient's own joints should be preserved for as long as possible.

With their many years of experience, our specialists in artificial joint replacement can accurately assess up to what point joint-preserving measures make sense and when the time is right for an artificial joint.
