TREATMENT TAILORED TO YOUR NEEDS
FOLLOW-UP OF THE EDA HIP PROCEDURE
In order to be able to properly monitor patients, Professor Corten asks all patients for their permission to collect and analyse the protected data online within the GDPR legislation. This analysis is carried out by means of AI software. Patients may, of course, refuse to give their consent to do so, without this in any way affecting the care provided.
The follow-up of a large group of 617 hip operations in 532 patients, operated between 1 January and 31 December 2017, has provided very valuable information. This follow-up shows us that, with the EDA Hip, 80% of patients enjoy a perfect rehabilitation, in which they can spontaneously and completely do without their crutches after 2-3 weeks. This study was published in a leading scientific journal. 
In 19% of patients we observed transient complaints that make recovery somewhat more difficult. These complaints can, for example, be pain in the lower back (7-8%) or muscle pains in the groin (3-4%). The follow-up also shows us that there is an approximately 1% chance of renewed surgery occurring within one year due to a wound issue, a fracture caused by a fall, or an infection. The risk for surgery to the prosthesis itself lies at 0.5%. This is a significantly lower risk than that recorded in the American implant registry, where this risk amounts to 2.9%.
These follow-up figures therefore show that, although there still is a risk of complications with the EDA hip, this risk has been significantly reduced compared to hip prosthesis surgery before this was carried out according to the procedure developed by Professor Corten.
The follow-up figures also demonstrate that the post-surgery functionality of the patients improves significantly, and that 80% reports a ‘forgotten hip’ after one year, which means that the patient is no longer aware of walking around with a prosthesis most of the time.
With the HipCloud your recovery process starts already from the first consultation. The application offers personalized guidance based on the working points of the patient. In case of surgery, the online follow-up can even reduce your stay in the hospital to 1 day or 1 night.
This surgery technique developed by Prof. Dr. Corten leads to less complications and a shorter rehabilitation period. 80% of our patients speak of a ‘forgotten hip’ after 6 to 9 months.
Working together with you, a team of medical professionals is ready to put together a personalised treatment process. Our aim is to prepare a new, pain-free life for you, and to accompany you from the moment of diagnosis up to the end of your treatment process, including even the option of integrating the resumption of sporting activities.
Over the years, Prof. Dr. Corten and his team have accumulated an enormous amount of know-how and expertise in the treatment of hip problems. The European Hip Center offers a full range of solutions to restore the patient's quality of life.
