Center for Artificial Joint Replacement- Your specialist clinic in NRW


When is the time right for an artificial joint?

Do you have pain in your hip or knee? Actually, you already know that you need an artificial joint, but you don't dare for fear that it might still be too early? In order to be able to play active sports and romp with the grandchildren again, 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 far, further 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 as long as possible.

With their many years of experience, our specialists for artificial joint replacement can accurately assess up to which point joint-preserving measures are sensible and when the time has come for an artificial joint.
