Consultation with creation of treatment plan in ENDOPROTHETICUM Rhein-Main / Prof. Dr. med. Karl Philipp Kutzner

About the clinic

A consultation with the creation of a treatment plan at ENDOPROTHETICUM Rhein-Main in Mainz, Germany, provides a specialist evaluation for hip and knee conditions. The diagnostic process focuses on determining the best approach for joint replacement using 3D digital planning and musculoskeletal functional analysis. This service is led by Prof. Karl Philipp Kutzner, a recognized expert in short-stem hip prostheses who has performed several thousand joint replacements.

Comprehensive Diagnostic Planning

The consultation serves as a primary assessment or an independent second opinion for patients considering joint surgery. Prof. Karl Philipp Kutzner personally analyzes the condition to identify the most appropriate surgical or conservative path. The process includes:

Imaging review. Analysis of existing X-ray, MRI, and ultrasound scans.
Physical examination. An in-person assessment of joint mobility and complaints.
3D digital planning. Uses imaging data to determine precise implant sizing and positioning.
Medical history review. A detailed look at past treatments and functional limitations.
Functional analysis. Evaluation of the musculoskeletal system to guide the planning.

Specialist Expertise and Setting

Prof. Karl Philipp Kutzner is a professor at Johannes-Gutenberg-Universität Mainz and developed the Kutzner Classification for short-stem hip arthroplasty. He specializes in minimally invasive approaches and calcar-guided technology. The clinic is located near Frankfurt Airport and belongs to the curaparc Campus, which integrates a specialized clinic, a rehabilitation center, and patient apartments.

Service Features

Remote options. Digital consultations are available based on uploaded medical records and diagnostic images.
Personalized plan. Patients receive an expert recommendation including the proposed implant type and surgical approach.
Language support. The medical team and staff are fluent in English.
Integrated care. The campus provides a single location for the consultation, surgery, and follow-up rehabilitation.
International support. Staff assist with local travel and accommodation arrangements for patients from abroad.

This diagnostic planning session ensures that every surgical recommendation is backed by modern 3D technology and the expertise of a high-volume joint specialist. You can request a consultation through Bookimed to begin the evaluation process.

ENDOPROTHETICUM Rhein-Main / Prof. Dr. med. Karl Philipp Kutzner: more details about the clinic

Germany, Mainz

ENDOPROTHETICUM Rhein-Main is an orthopaedic specialty practice for joint replacement and joint surgery in Mainz, centered on hip and knee endoprosthetics. The practice provides specialized diagnostics and planning, and supports treatment pathways that include minimally invasive surgery and structured after-treatment. In hip replacement, Prof. Dr. med. Karl Philipp Kutzner is particularly known for minimally invasive techniques and short-stem hip arthroplasty. A key area of expertise is calcar-guided short-stem prostheses, which aim to reconstruct hip biomechanics while using a bone- and soft tissue-sparing implantation technique. The concept is explained through a “kalkar-guided” approach—stabilization of the implant along the calcar structure to support more physiological load transfer. The practice also highlights minimally invasive anterolateral access (front-lateral), described as the “Wiesbaden approach,” designed to avoid injury to surrounding musculature. In knee arthroplasty, treatment includes knee prostheses and partial joint replacements when appropriate. ENDOPROTHETICUM positions itself as a concept of “all from a single source,” combining surgical expertise with integrated rehabilitation support. For patients considering short-stem options, the practice emphasizes modern planning and bone-preserving principles. International patients benefit from additional coordination support when being treated at partner facilities such as curaparc clinic in Mainz and LILIUM-CLINIC in Wiesbaden. The foreign-patient support includes English-speaking staff and—if needed—a dedicated contact person to help plan the stay. ENDOPROTHETICUM’s team consists of Prof. Dr. med. Karl Philipp Kutzner, Nerminа Murtic, and Juliane Hoidn, reinforcing the practice’s focused, specialty-driven model. The clinic also shares educational materials on short-stem total hip arthroplasty, describing benefits such as bone preservation, enhanced recovery, and reduced risk of thigh pain. The collaboration with partner inpatient facilities helps create a treatment chain from preoperative evaluation to operation and early rehabilitation. In addition, the practice has its own approach to aftercare, including an announced own rehabilitation facility starting in 2025 with direct oversight by the treating surgeon.
