Verified review.
I'm 32 years. Left-sided coxarthrosis. I was looking for options for superficial endoprosthetics. I turned to bookimed and I was offered a clinic in Austria. The operation was estimated at about 30-32 thousand euros, but since the technique is innovative (ceramic surface prosthesis for young patients), I agreed. Before that, I several times discussed what kind of operation we are talking about with the contact person from bookimed (Roman) and the doctor. Upon arrival in Austria, Roman met me. A very pleasant and caring person, I am very grateful to him for his help and a warm welcome. The next day after arriving in the morning, I ended up in the clinic. I went through all the necessary tests, and they brought me 2 contracts for signing, 1 from an anesthesiologist, the second for prosthetics. I noticed that the contract for Hip Replacement (replacement of the hip joint), and I was going to the Hip Resurfacing procedure and I had doubts. Two nurses forced me to sign a contract, but without communicating with the doctor, I refused. After Dr. Stefan Malkowitz came, I started a conversation with him about the procedure, as it turned out the doctor deceived me and wanted to do a regular total arthroplasty. He skillfully tried to manipulate on the patient's weaknesses (you will quickly recover, you will not have any pain, etc.) in every possible way, avoiding a direct answer about the prosthesis. As a result, it turned out that he did not do such a procedure (Hip Resurfacing) and began to move out, that he did not understand me. In fact, he was given all the information about the procedure that I wanted to do, the doctor apparently thought he could do it. In fact, I spent 2 days of which 11 hours spent on the road. A bunch of stress and pain nerves in the leg. From here I learned several lessons: 1. Read the contracts that are slipped to you for signature. 2. Discuss all the details several times before the trip. 3. In Europe, people are deceived in the same way as elsewhere

Our Ankle replacement Techniques: What Suits You Best?

When considering Ankle replacement, it’s important to understand the different techniques and which is best suited for you. Here’s a concise comparison of popular options:

Ankle joint replacement

Ankle joint replacement, also known as ankle arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure where a damaged ankle joint is replaced with a prosthetic ankle.

Pros: Provides better mobility and reduced pain compared to arthrodesis of the ankle joint. Approximately 90% of patients report significant pain relief and improved function post-surgery.
Cons: The lifespan of the artificial ankle is limited, sometimes requiring revision surgery in 10-15 years. Risk of infection and prosthetic loosening is higher compared to ankle arthroscopy.
Effectiveness: 90% success rate in improving pain and function.
Duration: 2-3 hours.
Recovery: 3-6 months.
Best for: Patients with severe arthritis or degenerative joint disease in the ankle. Suitable for individuals seeking improved mobility and pain relief.

Arthrodesis of the ankle joint

This procedure involves fusing the bones of the ankle joint to eliminate pain and improve stability in cases of severe arthritis or injury.

Pros: Offers a 90% success rate in pain reduction and improved stability. Long-lasting results without the need for future replacements, unlike total ankle replacement.
Cons: Limits ankle movement permanently, which can affect walking. Recovery time is longer compared to ankle arthroscopy, which is less invasive.
Effectiveness: Success rate of 90% in pain relief and stability.
Duration: 2-3 hours.
Recovery: 6-12 weeks.
Best for: Severe arthritis, degenerative joint disease, or significant ankle injury. Suitable for patients who do not benefit from ankle joint replacement.

Ankle Arthroscopy

Ankle Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat problems in the ankle joint.

Pros: Minimally invasive with smaller incisions, leading to faster recovery and less scarring compared to ankle joint replacement and arthrodesis. Approximately 90% of patients report significant pain relief and improved function.
Cons: Limited to addressing specific issues within the joint and may not be suitable for severe arthritis or extensive joint damage. Approximately 10% of procedures may not fully resolve symptoms.
Effectiveness: Success rate of around 90% for improving joint function and reducing pain in targeted conditions.
Duration: 1 to 2 hours.
Recovery: 2 to 6 weeks.
Best for: Addressing cartilage damage, removing bone spurs, and treating ligament injuries within the ankle joint.
