Preparation for hip surgery Berlin: diagnostics and advice
Many medical facilities in this country only offer hip arthroplasty (artificial hip joint). This means that many patients are often advised to have a prosthesis too quickly. Dr. Moser, on the other hand, is not only a specialist in hip arthroplasty, but also in conservative therapies and joint-preserving measures.
Dr. Moser's patients include many young athletes. Hip pathologies are very common in people who play sports, but very few doctors can treat them appropriately.
In order to find the right treatment for each individual and to be able to provide targeted advice, it is important to have an overview of the entire spectrum of hip surgery. First, an examination by a specialist provides the crucial information about which anatomical structure is diseased or injured. Based on this, Dr. Moser, as an experienced orthopedic surgeon in Berlin, offers his patients the optimal treatment method so that they can return to their favorite sport, dance, laugh and enjoy life as quickly as possible without pain and without functional limitations.
Conservative therapy
Dr. Moser always tries to exhaust conservative (non-surgical) measures and avoid surgical intervention. Many diseases and injuries in the hip region can be treated well conservatively. On the other hand, delayed surgical treatment can also cause lasting damage to the joint, which can then only be treated to a limited extent surgically. For this reason, extensive diagnostics and consultation beforehand are so crucial.
Depending on the findings, pain and discomfort are initially alleviated with gentle measures. This slows down the progression of the disease, but the underlying disease cannot always be cured in this way.
Non-surgical therapeutic measures include:
- Modification of the activity after careful consultation
- physiotherapy (including trigger point therapy)
- physical therapy
- shock wave therapy
- bandages
- Injections with cortisone, hyaluronic acid, PRP etc.
- drug-based pain therapy
- medicinal anti-inflammatory drugs
The possibilities of hip surgery
- Die Hüftendoprothetik (Hüft-TEP)
Bei fortgeschrittenem Verschleiß am Hüftgelenk wird die Implantation eines künstlichen Hüftgelenkes (Hüftprothese) in Erwägung gezogen und mit dem Patienten besprochen. In der sportorthopaedie.berlin werden ausschließlich qualitativ hochwertigste Implantate verwendet, die beste Funktion gewährleisten und eine lange Haltbarkeit haben. Die verwendeten Gleitpaarungen (Keramik-Keramik oder Keramik-Polyethylen Gleitpaarung) haben einen möglichst geringen Abrieb. Diese Hüftendoprothesen (künstlichen Hüftgelenke) sind sehr langlebig, wodurch Folgeeingriffe vermieden werden. Die Patientenzufriedenheit mit diesen Prothesen ist besonders hoch.Die Hüft-TEP erfolgt in der sportorthopaedie.berlin unter minimalinvasiven und muskelschonenden Verfahren. Hierbei werden muskuläre Strukturen nicht zerschnitten, sondern der Zugang zum Hüftgelenk erfolgt durch natürlich Muskellücken. Nach der Behandlung bleibt lediglich ein kleiner kosmetischer Schnitt zurück.
- Joint-preserving hip surgery
Joint-preserving hip surgery plays an important role, especially in the care of young adults with hip injuries and the threat of premature joint wear. It corrects misalignments or deformities in order to improve the biomechanics of the affected joint and counteract wear.
Joint-preserving hip surgery includes open hip surgery, pelvic realignment, femoral realignment and hip arthroscopy (hip joint endoscopy), which is discussed in more detail below.
Hip arthroscopy Berlin (hip joint endoscopy)
In modern hip surgery, most joint-preserving measures are performed using joint arthroscopy. Dr. Moser is an expert in the field of hip arthroscopy both nationally and internationally. In this country, only very few doctors specialize in this method.
Hip arthroscopy in Berlin requires only two small skin incisions of around one centimeter. A small camera and special instruments are inserted into the hip joint via these surgical accesses. With this minimally invasive approach, Dr. Moser treats malformations and changes to the hip joint gently and with the shortest possible hospital stay.
Arthroscopy of the hip joint is suitable for the following indications, among others:
- bony changes in the pelvis and thigh bones (including femoroacetabular impingement (FAI)/hip impingement, cam impingement, pincer impingement, subspine impingement)
- Damage to the labrum/labrum tear (severe pain in the groin and/or hip, dislocation of the hip joint)
- Injury to the femoral head ligament/ligamentum capitis femoris tear (cause: dislocation or dislocation of the joint)
- incipient hip joint arthrosis (incipient coxarthrosis)
- Chondromatosis (benign joint tumor with loose joint bodies)
- hip joint inflammation and hip joint effusion
- femoral head necrosis (in certain cases)
- unclear hip pain/unclear hip joint pain
After the operation – recovery and healing process
Dr. Moser's patients are usually mobilized again just a few hours after hip surgery in Berlin. Minimally invasive hip surgery is usually associated with significantly less pain after the operation than with conventional surgery. Early mobilization is important to support the healing process. The hospital stay for a hip prosthesis is around three to five days and for a hip arthroscopy around two to three days. During this time, the healing process and the patient's well-being are regularly monitored.
The hospital stay for the implantation of a hip endoprosthesis is usually followed by a rehabilitation measure, which can be carried out as an inpatient or outpatient depending on the individual findings and after consultation with the doctor. This is not necessary for a joint-preserving procedure (particularly hip arthroscopy). However, physiotherapy exercises should be started early in this case too.
Prognosis after hip surgery in Berlin
Thanks to the gentle and modern minimally invasive procedures, the recovery and convalescence times are significantly shorter compared to standard procedures. Due to the high quality standards and extensive specialization of Dr. Moser and the experienced team, the prognosis for hip pain and hip problems is usually good.
