The main function of the joint is to connect the bones and ensure the mobility of the body. At the same time, the cartilage covering the ends of the bones bears the main load. But diseases that destroy cartilage can cause a lot of suffering. As a result, the movement of bones in the joint becomes difficult, causing discomfort and pain.
The main function of the joint is to connect the bones and ensure the mobility of the body. At the same time, the cartilage covering the ends of the bones bears the main load. Thanks to the smooth cartilage, the bones slide easily over each other's surface, and the movement is easy and painless. But diseases that destroy cartilage can cause a lot of suffering. As a result, the movement of bones in the joint becomes difficult, causing discomfort and pain.
Today, thanks to scientific developments, the most effective, and sometimes the only possible way to restore a joint is arthroplasty. This is an operation that allows you to completely replace the affected joint. An implant (endoprosthesis) made of complex metal alloys, the most modern high-strength synthetic materials and ceramics and, if necessary, coated with a special polymer composition is used as a replacement for the joint during endoprosthetics. Such a prosthesis absolutely accurately copies the replaced joint and can serve almost forever without causing discomfort.
ECSTO - The European Clinic of Sports Traumatology and Orthopedics - is one of the leaders in endoprosthetics in Russia. The clinic's patients are not just undergoing surgery, they are literally being put on their feet. Within a week, the patient can leave the clinic on his own, on his own feet. The clinic has extensive experience in restoring lost joint function and regularly performs arthroplasty operations of varying complexity, including replacing old, unstable prostheses installed in other clinics, both Russian and foreign. It is also possible to perform operations in elderly people with hip fractures literally on the day of injury. Only endoprostheses from world-renowned leading manufacturers such as ZIMMER, De-Puy, Smith-and-Nephew, and Seraver are used for operations. All joint replacement surgeries at The European Clinic of Sports Traumatology and Orthopaedics are performed using the most modern equipment and only the most experienced specialists who have completed internships in the best foreign clinics and have extensive professional experience. The clinic has a well-equipped rehabilitation department.
We bring back the joy of movement!
