- Hip Specialist
The Hip Center is directed by Dr. med. Raimund Völker, founding member of ATOS Clinic Munich. Dr. Völker has an extraordinary experience in the field of endoprosthetics at the hip joint. He is worldwide one of the very few highly specialized surgeons who exclusively focus on hip surgery. This kind of super specialization offers tremendous benefits to the patient. Dr. Völker is also one of the internationally renowned surgeons who, in addition to proven standard endoprosthetics, also has an experience of 20 years with bone-preserving hip resurfacing. Both methods complement each other in their quality. In this way, the best possible procedure can be offered for each patient.
In contrast to simple standard endoprosthetic implants, Dr. med. Völker only uses high-quality and long-tested original implants at ATOS Clinic. This creates the foundation for secure high durability.
The use of minimally invasive, muscle-sparing, bone conserving surgical techniques ensures faster recovery with natural flexibility and maximum joint safety. Together with the individual choice of implants and early intensive physiotherapy does the result lead to “Fast Track Recovery”.
