Experience in knee and hip surgery that translates into quality

The data from the Swiss National Joint Registry SIRIS is clear: Schulthess Klinik’s high degree of specialisation and extensive experience has a direct beneficial impact on patient outcomes. Within two years after a hip or knee replacement operation, significantly fewer Schulthess Klinik patients require revision surgery than is the average in clinics across Switzerland. With hip replacements, Schulthess Klinik’s rate is 1%, whilst for knee replacements the figure is 1.1%. This is over two and a half and three times lower than the Swiss average respectively.

What effect do concomitant diseases have on the outcome of prosthetic hip surgery?

One year after their hip operation, most patients are satisfied with the result, with many even declaring that they are very satisfied. Patients with concomitant diseases can still expect a similar improvement in terms of hip function. However, this group of patients has a somewhat increased risk of complications. This was the conclusion reached by our research team, which investigated the connection between comorbidities, the risk of complications and the patient’s perceptions of osteoarthritis-related hip surgery.

Do hip disorders have a different impact on the muscular system in men and women?

Joint diseases often affect the surrounding muscles and hip disorders such as osteoarthritis of the hip and femoroacetabular impingement syndrome are no exception. Yet is there difference in the way these diseases impact on the muscular systems of men and women? This is the question that the research team from our Human Performance Lab and Hip Surgery department have been investigating. The team has published two studies on the subject.
