Osteoarthritis and intervertebral hernias: treatment in Germany with new methods

  • Laser treatment of the joint. Also an innovative technique in the treatment of intervertebral hernia. A high level of technical equipment and highly professional specialists make it possible to treat the affected joint with a laser, stimulating the regeneration of cartilage tissue. The operation is performed under local anesthesia. The doctor inserts a thin needle connected to the laser directly to the site of the intervertebral hernia.
  • Removal of nerve endings or destructive treatment. If severe pain sensations are caused by various movements, inactivation of the pain receptors is used.
  • Vertebroplasty. This type of intervention uses bone cement when the bone tissue of the vertebra has been destroyed due to disease or trauma. The peculiarity of this method is the use of minimally invasive access, as well as the use of local anesthesia.
  • The most innovative method of treatment for cervical intervertebral hernia is subcutaneous nucleotomy. This method has the lowest rates of any complications at this level of pathology. In addition, the operation is performed from a minimal access. At the same time, all affected tissues are removed.

Along with this, specialists in some cases apply an even gentler method of surgical intervention, when only the vertebral arch is removed — laminectomy. In this case, the pressure on the nearby parts of the spine is reduced and the symptoms of intervertebral hernia disappear.

Treatment in Germany for osteoarthritis is characterized by the desire to preserve the joint, resorting to various joint-saving techniques.

If the joint gap is preserved, partial resection of the affected tissue may be performed. This method of treatment is used to postpone total joint replacement surgery.

There are several options for hip arthroplasty:

  1. Superficial endoprosthesis (McMinn prosthesis).
  2. Resection of the medial part of the femoral head.
  3. Implantation of a modular endoprosthesis.
  4. Implantation of a systemic endoprosthesis.

These techniques are characterized by the preservation of various joint structures.

Munich uses prostheses in endoprosthetics that set the benchmark in terms of material safety, strength and durability.

The treatment of knee osteoarthritis with the innovative method of autogenous cartilage transplantation has been discovered in Munich.

The operation is performed through a mini-access, when several small incisions of small size are made, which, after the recovery period, are practically invisible. The procedure takes place in several stages. First, specialists select healthy chondrocyte cells, then they are multiplied in the laboratory. After that, these chondrocytes are injected into the affected joint by various technical methods. The chondrocytes then begin to restore the articular surface of the joint, as well as its basic properties. The advantage of this method is that it is minimally traumatic and regenerates quickly.

Thus, the treatment in Munich for osteoarthritis and intervertebral hernias is complex and multi-stage. The effectiveness of the treatment depends on:

  • from the patient’s original condition,
  • the technical capacity of the health facility,
  • the qualifications and experience of the attending physician.
