Specialist in Endoprosthetics in Berlin: Prof. Dr Safi Khalil

Card

Professor Dr Safi Khalil is a specialist in endoprosthetics, and Head Physician at the Clinic for Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery and Head and Lead Surgeon at the Endoprosthetics Center at the Evangelisches Krankenhaus Hubertus in Berlin.

As a certified endoprosthesis center (EndoCert), Prof. Khalil's team of experts offers the best possible endoprosthesis care using high-quality implants and minimally invasive surgical methods. Thanks to the Besttrack concept and themed "Movement is Quality of Life," patients receive individualized care and support from the pre-inpatient phase through surgery and follow-up care.

Individual Implant Selection for Knee Replacement in Berlin: Less Pain, Faster Recovery

Prof. Dr Safi Khalil, Head Physician at the Clinic for Orthopedics, Trauma Surgery, and Sports Medicine at the Evangelisches Krankenhaus Hubertus, is considered an expert in minimally invasive total knee replacement (TEP) in Berlin. With his interdisciplinary team, Prof Khalil pursues the Besttrack concept, which offers optimized treatment pathways from preoperative preparation to rehabilitation. This includes intensive patient training before the procedure, customized anesthesia procedures, and early mobilization after surgery. With the help of physical therapy, his patients are often able to walk independently on the first day after surgery. This approach minimizes complications and enables a quick return to everyday life. The clinic specializes in the implantation of sliding prostheses.

Specialist in Total Hip Replacement: State-of-the-Art Procedure and Outstanding Expertise

The Besttrack concept benefits Prof. Dr Safi Khalil's patients undergoing hip replacement surgery at the Evangelisches Krankenhaus Hubertus. Thanks to his many years of experience in hip replacement surgery, Prof. Khalil understands the importance of carefully preparing his patients to ensure the entire treatment process runs smoothly. He attaches great importance to effective communication. Patients are given detailed information about the procedure before the surgery, including practical tips for the postoperative period and training with walking sticks. This approach ensures that patients are well prepared for the new situation and quickly regain mobility.

Aftercare is another key focus. Shortly after surgery, initial mobilization exercises are carried out to help the healing process and minimize complications. The rehabilitation phase is planned early and can be carried out in an outpatient or inpatient setting, depending on the patient's needs.

A special feature of Prof. Khalil's work is his interdisciplinary collaboration with physiotherapy, anesthesia, and nursing staff. This ensures that his patients receive not only the best possible medical care but also excellent personal support.

Gentle Revision Interventions for Endoprostheses

Revision of endoprostheses may be necessary due to various complications, such as infection, loosening of the prosthesis, malposition, or tissue damage. A common challenge is to preserve the surrounding tissue, such as bone, muscle, and tendons, as these are often already affected during the initial surgery.

Prof. Dr Safi Khalil addresses these complications preventively by using minimally invasive techniques that make the procedure gentler and minimize the risk of tissue damage. He relies on modern imaging techniques that enable more precise placement of the new prosthesis to avoid malposition. The use of high-quality implants also reduces the risk of further loosening. In addition, Prof Khalil takes an interdisciplinary approach that includes physical therapy and intensive follow-up care from the beginning to support healing and minimize the risk of postoperative problems such as thrombosis or infection.

Years of Experience in Knee and Hip Replacement Surgery

If endoprosthesis replacement is unavoidable, many patients are primarily concerned about pain, complications, and the lifespan of the new prosthesis. Doubts about the necessity of the procedure or fear of a more extended recovery period often cause uncertainty. Additional concerns arise in the case of replacement surgery, as the procedure is more complex, and the initial surgery and the effects of the defective implant have already stressed the surrounding tissue.

Prof. Dr Safi Khalil takes these fears seriously and does everything he can to build trust with his patients through individually tailored treatment plans and comprehensive information. Even before the surgery, he ensures that his patients understand the procedure's necessity and informs them about the successful long-term results and the modern, minimally invasive techniques that make it gentler. These methods allow for smaller incisions and reduced pain, alleviating fears of long recovery periods. In addition, close interdisciplinary cooperation and regular follow-up care ensure that the healing process is optimally supported and that patients can quickly return to their everyday lives.
