Treatment after AGA Guidelines
The AGA is a scientific association of physicians interested in arthroscopy.
The AGA now has over 2800 members and is thus Europe’s largest professional society for arthroscopy.
The Executive Committee of the AGA includes physicians from Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Fracture Treatment

 Modern Fracture Treatment after AO Guidelines:

 

 

The AO Foundation is a medically guided non profit organization led by an international group
of surgeons specialized in the treatment of trauma and disorders of the musculoskeletal system.
The AO was founded in 1958 in Switzerland from a group of Swiss Orthopedic Surgeons.
The Head Office and Research Center is still located in Davos - Switzerland.

Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF) or
Closed Reduction Internal Fixation (CRIF) with:
Wires, Cerclages, Plates

Joint Replacement

For hip and knee replacements anatomical implants are used.
The design is based on detailed investigationsof the structure and mechanics of normal and prosthetic joints.
When choosing a hip or knee implant there can be problems with current bearing options:

    * Fracture (ceramic-on-ceramic) - hip
    * Metal sensitivity (metal-on-metal) - hip
    * Nickel Allergy - hip and knee
    * More wear and osteolysis (cobalt chrome-on-polyethylene) - hip and knee

To avoid these problems OXINIUM-on-XLPE advanced bearing systems are used.
