Over time, walking long distances, as well as going up and down stairs, becomes increasingly challenging. When joint wear reaches an advanced stage, the affected area causing pain can be removed, and joint prostheses can be implanted.
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.
Osteoarthritis pain fades, and mobility is restored.
This procedure aims to replace only the damaged part of the knee, preserving as much of the healthy joint structures as possible. It is often recommended when wear is limited to a specific area of the knee, providing 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 impacted the entire knee, resulting in severe pain and significantly limited mobility.
Replacing the diseased hip joint, this procedure delivers remarkable results, allowing patients to enjoy a pain-free hip in all activities. Dr. Coulin primarily uses the anterior approach, which enables the prosthesis to be implanted through a small incision, sliding between muscles without cutting them. This technique supports a rapid recovery, allowing the patient to walk on the day of the surgery.
Recent technological advances have revolutionized joint replacement surgery. 3D planning based on preoperative scans enables a detailed and precise custom approach tailored to each patient, especially valuable for the most complex cases. Personalizing implant positioning helps to replicate the anatomy’s pre-damage perfection, ensuring optimal function.
