Revision
Do you have long-term and unbearable hip or knee pain? Are they so uncomfortable that they keep you awake and the usual medications don’t work? This is the typical reason for an endoprosthesis. Endoprosthesis means that the damaged or dysfunctional joint is replaced with a new one and patients literally return to life.
Find out what all the surgery entails, how best to suppress the symptoms that accompany this procedure. Are there ways to recover as quickly as possible? Read more here.
Each case is individual and the decision to perform an endoprosthesis is made after careful assessment and discussion between the patient and the doctor.
Only a doctor can make a correct diagnosis. Do not use this or any other article on the internet to make a diagnosis. Don’t put off seeing a doctor and address your condition early.
An endoprosthesis is an artificial joint that is inserted during surgery to replace a damaged joint. The most common joints operated on are the hip joint, knee joint and shoulder. The term total joint replacement (TEP) means that the entire joint is replaced.
Artificial joint replacement is usually the solution for patients who have a severe form of arthritis or other joint disease. Conservative non-surgical treatment had no effect and the pain did not subside even after pain medication. An endoprosthesis usually means a definitive solution to the problem with the diseased joint, as a total hip replacement or total knee replacement can last 20 years, often longer.
An endoprosthesis is generally recommended when the cartilage in the joint is so damaged that the joint cannot function. [1]
It is a surgical solution for advanced arthrosis of the hip. It is also used for severe joint involvement due to rheumatoid arthritis (inflammatory joint disease), after some fractures or in osteonecrosis (bone tissue death). Surgery is usually reserved for patients who:
Total hip replacement means that the femoral head and the hip socket are replaced. [3]
It means an operation to replace a damaged knee joint with an artificial one. The most common reason for surgery is severe arthritis of the knee, rheumatoid arthritis or a previous injury to the joint.
It represents the surgical treatment of advanced arthrosis of the shoulder. Depending on the degree of damage, partial or total joint replacement is chosen.
Total hip arthroplasty and other surgeries where an artificial joint is inserted into the body usually take several hours. During surgery, the surgeon removes the damaged parts of the joint (cartilage, bone) and replaces them with artificial materials. Metals, plastics and ceramics are used. [7]
Both knee and hip arthroplasty can have various complications. Surgery is associated with a risk of :
Blood clot
Infection
Release of the endoprosthesis
Reoperation
Do not delay treatment , and see a specialist if you have any health problems or doubts about your health. This will prevent unnecessary health complications.
Shortly after surgery, you need to start moving the new joint. Movement serves as a prevention of blood clots that can occur after surgery. The first movements and getting out of bed are supervised by a physiotherapist, who also recommends further exercises. Exercise is important during the hospital stay and should be continued long term even after discharge home.
Pain advice: patients should only take pain medication that has been recommended by their doctor. Some over-the-counter pain medications can increase the risk of bleeding. [13]
Treatment after an endoprosthesis can only be determined by your doctor after considering your overall health. Therefore, do not use this article as a guide to treatment, which can only be determined by a doctor.
After arriving home from the hospital, you need to adapt the environment to the current possibilities of movement. How to minimize the risk of a fall that could damage the operated joint?
After surgery, it is necessary to take care of the scar. The patient should learn the correct technique of scar massage in the hospital. If, after you get home, you experience swelling, bleeding, redness or worsening pain at the surgical wound site, you should see a doctor. [14]
Most patients make a full recovery after total knee arthroplasty. Pain is relieved, the operated joint regains its mobility and the quality of life improves significantly.[15] The speed and rate of recovery is influenced by:
Total hip arthroplasty durability: patients can expect the new joint to last 20 years or more.
Professional statistics indicate that the need for revision in total hip and knee arthroplasty is around 6% five years after surgery and 12% ten years after surgery. [17]
Total joint arthroplasty may not be an appropriate treatment for arthritis or other joint disease in some people. Relief from the symptoms of the disease, such as pain or stiffness of the joints, can be brought by physiotherapy, anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids or dietary supplements known as joint nutrition. Surgery, in which the damaged joint is only modified, not completely replaced, can also be a solution. [18]
Most patients return to their lifestyle three months after surgery. Gradual improvement continues throughout the first year after surgery. [19]
Spa after total hip, knee or shoulder arthroplasty is of great importance. The combination of physiotherapy and therapeutic baths promotes the mobility of the new joint and strengthens weakened muscles. Many patients needed to adjust their posture as they sought different positions for relief from long-term joint pain.
Total joint replacement is a surgical solution for advanced arthrosis or other disease that significantly impairs the functionality of the joint.
The damaged joint is replaced with an artificial joint replacement.
After the operation, it is necessary to rehabilitate carefully and for a long enough time.
Treatment after an arthroplasty is always determined by your doctor based on a general examination, an assessment of your condition and an accurate diagnosis.
After a general examination, the doctor will recommend treatment for the cause of the disease. They will also advise you on possible lifestyle adjustments and the next course of action.
Symptomatic treatment focuses on the manifestations or signs (symptoms) of the disease. Such treatment can significantly improve your quality of life and support comprehensive treatment during the course of the disease.

The solution may be symptomatic treatment with pulsed magnet therapy, which targets symptoms and signs such as pain, inflammation and impaired blood flow. In addition, such treatment can support comprehensive treatment and significantly improve quality of life.
The basic principle of Biomag 3D pulsed magnetotherapy is the generation of electromagnetic pulses. These pulses penetrate through the clothing and through the entire depth of the tissue to the point of targeted application. The pulses have specially developed biotropic parameters (e.g. frequency, shape, intensity) to best affect various health problems.
The application is very simple. Select the desired therapeutic effect on the device and attach the connected applicator to the desired application site. Magnetotherapy is usually applied 2 times a day for 20 minutes.
We will be happy to help you try this method free of charge and advise you on which device to purchase.
