Treatment options for osteoarthritis
Joint-preserving therapy:
Our principle is to preserve the joint for as long as possible. In early stages, conservative measures or joint-preserving surgery can alleviate symptoms and slow the progression of osteoarthritis.
Partial joint replacement (unicompartmental replacement)
In recent years, orthopedics has advanced significantly, resulting in modern partial implants. While previously the entire joint was replaced in most cases, partial replacement of individual joint regions allows for individually tailored treatment.
Advantages of partial replacement:
✔ Preservation of as many of the patient’s own joint parts as possible
✔ Minimally invasive implantation possible
✔ In some cases even arthroscopically possible
Complete joint replacement (endoprosthesis)
If the arthrosis is already all joint parts In this case, joint-preserving surgery or partial replacement is no longer advisable. complete joint replacement through an endoprosthesis. This involves removing the damaged joint parts, correcting any existing misalignment, and implanting an artificial joint.
