Over time, long distances, as well as going up and down stairs, will become increasingly difficult. When joint wear reaches an advanced stage, the diseased part responsible for the pain can be removed, and joint prostheses can be installed.
The goal is to rediscover the pleasure of a life without discomfort or pain, forgetting the knee or hip that caused you so much trouble. These procedures are truly anti-aging interventions, offering a new youth to your joints.
The pain associated with osteoarthritis disappears, and mobility is restored.
This procedure aims to replace only the damaged part of the knee, thus preserving as much of the healthy structures of the joint as possible. It is often recommended when wear affects only a limited part of the knee, offering a targeted solution to restore functionality.
This procedure involves replacing the entire knee joint with an artificial prosthesis. It is necessary when osteoarthritis or other conditions have affected the entire knee, causing severe pain and significant limitation of mobility.
Replacing the diseased hip joint, this procedure offers spectacular results, with the possibility of regaining a hip free of pain during all activities. Dr. Coulin primarily favors the anterior approach, an approach that allows the prosthesis to be implanted through an incision of a few centimeters, sliding between the muscles without cutting them. This technique facilitates rapid recovery, allowing the patient to walk again from the day of the procedure.
Recent technological advances have completely transformed this surgery. 3D planning from preoperative scans allows for fine and precise analysis for a tailor-made realization adapted to each patient. This is particularly useful for treating the most complex cases. The customization of the position of the implants makes it possible to reproduce the anatomical perfection prior to wear, thus offering optimal function.
