The artificial joint surface corresponds to the extent of the natural size of the head: the movements are perceived as natural - the threat of Auskugelns of the artificial joints is much lower than at a hip-TEP (Hüfttotalendoprothese). Many people often forget that they have an artificial hip joint. In the scientific use of language one speaks at this frequently observed phenomenon of a 'forgotten hip'.

As we implant surface after hip replacement at Mc Minn?
See the animation of knochensprarenden surgical technique, which we articulated in the hospital use.
The surface Hüftkopf when replacement is not sacrificed. He will be machined to fit a cap made of metal with the same size can be installed. The artificial Hüftpfanne, also a metal Gleitfäche has Pressfit in a cement-free procedure used. It is a metal-metal sliding, which already has over 10 years clinically proven. There are however, no comprehensive long-term results of up to 20 years or more as in the standard hip.
Why are the sliding surfaces from metal?
The metal-metal sliding was already in the sixties developed and clinically used by surgeons. Partial showed very good clinical results with a shelf life of 20 years and more. Unfortunately, at that time, the production technologies are not yet so perfect that it is always very good results were achieved. The method thus fell into oblivion again. The advancement of technology was an essential step to take advantage of this sliding with a significantly lower wear than conventional pairings with plastic to use.
Why 'forget' this implant patients?
The load conditions in the hip joint and the muscles hüftumgreifenden by changing the implant very little. The original anatomy is preserved, what the patient an unchanged perception can mean. The motion of the hip joint is less restricted, since the size of the implants with the original very closely. The resilience it clearly seems to be higher. The two high-quality metallic surfaces together with the joint grease in the joint guarantee high wear and abrasion resistance.
Advantages of the process:
- Subsequent revision possibility
- Shorter rehabilitation
- Bone-friendly procedures
- Alternative to stem prosthesis
- Provides rapid return to everyday life
- Poor pain method
- If the restore healthy physiology
- "Forgetting" of the prosthesis allows normal life
These are all important prerequisites for an active life, which also sports a new role and may have a chance to significantly better quality of life mean.
