Profile of the key figure knee replacement (artificial knee joint), patient number

About the indicator «Specific patient numbers»

Number of patients with a specific diagnosis or intervention (per calendar year).

Strengths:

High patient numbers with a specific diagnosis or intervention is a indicator for good knowledge and expertise. A hospital with high specific patient numbers has a lot of experience with different techniques of diagnosis and treatment (e.g. surgeries). Additionally, high specific patient numbers suggest that employees and technical equipment are up to date.

Limits:

Unfortunately, specific patient numbers are not available for all interventions. It is not sure that results are transferable to similar interventions. Also, the relationship between patient numbers and experience/competency is not linear. Especially with very high specific patient numbers the expertise and knowledge does not increase in equal measure.

Very good clinic, I was treated very well in every respect. The follow-up treatment in the very nice room was also very good. I can only highly recommend the Rosengarten Clinic. And when you are at home, the care team (Mrs. A. Huser) looks after your well-being.

Unfortunately, my knee prosthesis has to be replaced after 15 months. Got a second opinion. The comment from the new surgeon was "Unfortunately, this was not a masterpiece". No compliments for the Endoclinic.

Very well for 5 months after the operation, then severe pain began. I was accused of not doing enough training, no further check was made. According to the physiotherapist, the exercises were too difficult for a 75-year-old patient. (surgeon: Dr. Felix Rapp)

The operations are carried out very skillfully. What doesn't work at all, however, is the care on the ward. If you're a patient who doesn't fit the norm, you're out of luck. And if you're on the wrong floor, you might forget to get breakfast.
