Our specialists have many years of ex­perience in minimally invasive joint surgery (opera­tions per­formed with the smallest possible skin in­cisions) such as arthro­scopic proce­dures and endo­prosthetic joint replace­ments of the hip, knee, and shoulder.

In co­operation with the Gelenk-Zentrum in Hietzing, we serve as a specia­list hub offering the full range of dia­gnostic options and treat­ments, from pre­vention, initial medical history, and any necessary surgery through to after­care.

Alexander Zembsch, MD is a recognized expert in minimally invasive hip joint surgery. At the Center for Minimally Invasive Orthopedic Surgery, he has been opera­ting on his patients using the so-called AMIS method since 2008. This method of hip surgery is parti­cularly gentle and guaran­tees rapid rehabili­tation and recovery. The treat­ment is per­formed in co­opera­tion with an experien­ced team of anesthesio­logists and physio­therapists.

AMIS-Method

AMIS stands for “anterior minimally invasive surgery” and describes the gent­lest and safest form of sur­gery for hip joints. This tech­nique avoids injury to the muscles, tendons and nerves, in contrast to con­ventional mini­mally invasive tech­niques, which require these to be partially cut.

This has advantages for all types of patients. Older people make a faster recovery, regaining their indepen­dence and be­coming pain-free and mobile more quickly. Younger people are able to return more quickly to work and driving, and after about six to eight weeks are even able to resume sports activities such as hiking, skiing, golf, cycling, and tennis. The arti­ficial hip im­plants are also extremely durable. Their expected “lifespan” is up to forty years.

Which knee problems are treated at the Center for Orthopedic Surgery?

If you are suffering from chronic or acute knee pain, showing signs of wear and tear (gon­arthrosis), or require knee surgery, the Center for Mini­mally Invasive Ortho­pedic Surgery offers you a wide range of dia­gnostics and treatment options.

Our experienced knee specialists are experts in mini­mally invasive joint surgery (arthro­scopy) and endo­prosthesis.

Range of services:

  • Clinical examination of the knee
  • Diagnostic imaging
  • Conservative therapies (physiotherapy, therapeutic exercises)
  • Minimally invasive surgical procedures (arthroscopy)
  • Total endoprosthesis of the knee joint/knee replacement surgery

Do you need a knee replacement?

If you need an artificial knee joint, you are in good hands here. The im­plantation of modern, very durable, and extremely well-tolerated artificial knee joints has long been a successful standard procedure offered at the Confraternität & Goldenes Kreuz Private Hospital. Using particularly gentle, safe, and modern surgical methods, we ensure that patients will be with­out pain and mobile again within a short period of time.

Our recognized experts in minimally invasive knee joint surgery operate on their patients at the Center for Mini­mally Invasive Ortho­pedic Surgery using the highly indivi­dualized PSI techni­que (Patient Specific Instruments). This involves the produc­tion of surgical instru­ments specially tailored to the patient and their use with computer-assisted surgical planning.

Thanks to new, modern methods, total knee endo­prosthesis implanta­tions are also possible without the use of bone cement.

 

All treatments are performed at Confraternität & Goldenes Kreuz Private Hospital in close co­operation with ex­perienced anes­thetists and physio­therapists.
