Decision operation

01

At the European Hip Center, we believe in “shared decision making” with you, as the patient, in the center. The specialists make the decision to proceed with a surgical procedure together with you. This when you indicate that this should happen.

Our specialists will go over the different possible surgeries with you and recommend which is the most appropriate option.

Once the decision is made, you will be fully prepared for surgery.

Trajectories

Non-operative trajectory

Non-operative trajectory

Our philosophy is not to operate first. We believe very strongly in a holistic approach where the body adapts to what you give and ask for. Recent data analysis of approximately 2000 of our hip patients, shows that we only need to operate on 23% of this population. The non-operative pathway consists of a personalized approach with exercise therapy and a holistic approach. To tailor this pathway, we first fully assess you through objective and subjective measurements.
