Understanding Your Orthopedic Knee or Hip Surgery Journey in Mainz

Hip and knee replacement surgery, also known as arthroplasty, is a highly effective procedure to relieve chronic pain and restore function to joints damaged by arthritis, injury, or wear and tear. The primary purpose is to replace the damaged cartilage and bone with a durable, artificial implant (prosthesis), allowing for smooth, pain-free movement.

During the surgery, Prof. Kutzner removes the damaged parts of the joint and fits the custom-sized prosthesis. The benefits are profound, including significant pain reduction, improved mobility and range of motion, and a return to an active lifestyle. While hospital recovery takes a few days, full recovery with dedicated physiotherapy can take several weeks. These procedures have exceptionally high success rates, with modern implants often lasting 20 years or more.
