Department Hip Surgery

The Hip Surgery department at Schulthess Klinik is Switzerland’s largest reference centre for hip replacements. Every year, the department fits more than 1,200 hip prostheses and performs complex revision procedures. We have the most experience in Switzerland: for years, we have performed the highest number of operations, while also boasting the lowest revision rate. This is made possible by our strong commitment to research and the outstanding teamwork of everyone involved. In addition to prostheses, the department also offers the full range of hip surgery. This includes complex joint-preserving procedures, such as arthroscopic surgery, reorientation of the pelvis and hip joint, and cartilage repair procedures.

All procedures are monitored and documented by our research team with regard to short-term and long-term results, enabling continuous improvement in the quality of treatment. The doctors themselves are actively involved in the research. As a reliable partner for referring doctors, patients and healthcare institutions, the highly specialised Hip Surgery team stands for first-class care for patients with hip diseases.
