These Internet pages contain a detailed overview of surgical hip joint replacement using a short hip stem, which nowadays is increasingly the implant of choice for young active patients.

Roughly 200,000 people a year in just Germany alone are gaining a new zest for life as a result of an artificial hip joint.

The goal of modern implants, including the short hip stem, is getting the patient back to their daily routine or work life quickly and above all in a pain-free manner. In this case, preserving bone through muscle-sparing surgical techniques is the current standard, and this can be realized in practice by a shorter and smaller type of implant.
