joint. In most patients, it occurs <b>after the age of 50<\/b>. To a certain extent, everyone&#8217;s ability to use the hip joint decreases with age. This is initially normal and treatment is not necessary. The orthopaedic surgeon is only a good point of contact for treatment options when performance and load-bearing capacity are significantly below age-appropriate expectations.    <\/p><p>The risk of coxarthrosis increases with age &#8211; the older a patient is, the more likely it is that they will develop hip osteoarthritis requiring treatment. In general, it can be said that in most cases there is a <b>specific cause<\/b> for the disease. Statistically speaking, people who put a lot of strain on their hips due to their <b>job<\/b> or <b>sport<\/b> are more likely to have problems with osteoarthritis of the hip joint. People of European descent are more likely to develop primary osteoarthritis than people from Asia or Africa. And if your hip is already damaged &#8211; due to an accident or a disease such as dysplasia &#8211; you are also more likely to develop osteoarthritis of the hip.

has already progressed. Articular cartilage is a type of connective tissue which, the older a person gets, the less water this tissue can form &#8211; it gradually becomes less and less elastic. <\/p><p>This process can be compared with an example from dermatology! The older we get, the more wrinkles we get. This is because wrinkles also occur as a result of the increasingly less elastic connective tissue under the skin. Hip osteoarthritis is therefore a symptom of old age, just like wrinkles. Nevertheless, there are individual factors that promote osteoarthritis of the hip, such as lack of exercise, obesity, incorrect loading and\/or overloading.    <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-de488ea elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"de488ea\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"401\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportortho-wien.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Arthrose-Stadien-1024x401.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6433\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sportortho-wien.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Arthrose-Stadien-1024x401.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.sportortho-wien.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Arthrose-Stadien-300x117.png 300w, https:\/\/www.sportortho-wien.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Arthrose-Stadien-768x301.png 768w, https:\/\/www.sportortho-wien.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Arthrose-Stadien-1536x601.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.sportortho-wien.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Arthrose-Stadien-2048x802.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9daa886 animated-slow elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default elementor-invisible\" data-eae-slider=\"91152\" data-id=\"9daa886\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c4ab29e\" data-eae-slider=\"46320\" data-id=\"c4ab29e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1621328 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1621328\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Stage 0 - Healthy hip joint<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0629c12 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0629c12\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">The hip shows no signs of coxarthrosis.

Hip prostheses are planned by me in advance using a standardized<strong> planning X-ray<\/strong> and the prosthesis size and position are determined individually. Only then can the best possible result be achieved. A muscle-sparing <strong>surgical approach (minimally invasive)<\/strong> is now standard.    <\/p><p>In classic hip surgery, the damaged femoral head and part of the neck of the hip joint are removed and then the acetabulum is drilled out. Finally, two components of an artificial hip joint (prosthetic head and socket) are anchored in the bone to relieve you of your pain. <\/p><p>After the operation, most patients are usually independently mobile again within a few days with 2 forearm crutches.
