Glossary
- Endoprosthetics
- The branch of orthopaedics dealing with replacement of damaged joints, most commonly the hip and knee, using artificial implants and associated fixation, bearing and revision technologies.
- Arthroplasty
- Surgical reconstruction or replacement of a joint. At Endokongress the term covers primary joint replacement as well as complex revision procedures and their outcomes.
- Primary arthroplasty
- The first implantation of a joint prosthesis in a native joint, including cemented, cementless and hybrid fixation options for hip and knee systems.
- Revision arthroplasty
- Replacement or exchange of an existing joint implant because of loosening, infection, wear, instability, fracture or malposition; a major focus of the Berlin congress programme.
- Aseptic loosening
- Implant loosening without infection, often linked to particle wear, poor osseointegration or mechanical factors; a common indication for revision hip and knee surgery.
- Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI)
- Infection involving a joint prosthesis and surrounding tissue. Congress sessions typically address diagnosis, antibiotic strategies, surgical debridement and implant exchange.
- DAIR
- Debridement, antibiotics and implant retention: a treatment strategy for selected acute periprosthetic joint infections where the implant is kept and the joint is cleaned and lavaged.
- Two-stage exchange
- A revision strategy for chronic periprosthetic joint infection in which the infected implant is removed, an antibiotic-loaded spacer is inserted and a new prosthesis is implanted after infection control.
- Polyethylene wear
- Loss of bearing-surface material over time, producing particles that can trigger osteolysis and loosening; highly cross-linked polyethylene and alternative bearings are discussed at the congress.
- Osteolysis
- Bone loss around an implant caused by an inflammatory response to wear particles; a key reason for surveillance and revision in long-term arthroplasty follow-up.
- Cementless fixation
- Implant fixation by press-fit and bone ingrowth into porous surfaces rather than bone cement; common in primary hip stems and selected knee and revision components.
- Cemented fixation
- Implant fixation using polymethyl methacrylate bone cement, often with antibiotic-loaded cement and modern mixing and pressurisation techniques.
- Dual-mobility cup
- An acetabular cup design with a small inner head articulating inside a larger mobile liner, used to reduce dislocation risk in selected primary and revision hip patients.
- Constrained liner
- A revision hip liner with a locking mechanism that increases stability in patients with abductor deficiency or recurrent dislocation, at the cost of greater constraint forces.
- Metaphyseal sleeve
- A porous revision knee component that fills metaphyseal bone defects and provides fixation and load transfer in complex revision arthroplasty.
- Patient-specific instrumentation (PSI)
- Guides or cutting blocks produced from preoperative imaging to transfer a planned hip or knee alignment into the operating theatre.
- Robotic-assisted arthroplasty
- Use of a robotic arm or navigation platform to support bone preparation, implant positioning and alignment during hip or knee replacement; exhibitors demonstrate these systems at Endokongress.
- Endoprothesenregister Deutschland (EPRD)
- The German arthroplasty registry, which collects implant and outcome data to support quality assurance, revision analysis and post-market surveillance.
- Medical Device Regulation (MDR)
- The European Union framework for medical devices, including orthopaedic implants; it shapes clinical evidence, labelling and post-market surveillance requirements discussed by exhibitors and regulators.
- Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs)
- Standardised questionnaires that capture pain, function and quality of life after joint replacement; used in registries, clinical studies and quality-improvement programmes.
- Periprosthetic fracture
- A fracture around or near a joint prosthesis, often after a fall or in osteoporotic bone; management ranges from fixation to revision arthroplasty depending on implant stability.
- Osseointegration
- Direct anchorage of an implant to bone, influenced by surface topography, porosity, coating and loading; a central theme in cementless implant design.
- Tribology
- The study of friction, lubrication and wear between moving surfaces, applied to bearing couples such as metal-on-polyethylene, ceramic-on-ceramic and ceramic-on-polyethylene.
- Endokongress
- The Berlin endoprosthetics congress listed at endokongress.de, bringing together German and international orthopaedic surgeons, suppliers and allied professionals for scientific exchange on joint replacement.
- Langenbeck-Virchow-Haus
- The congress venue at Luisenstrasse 58 in Berlin-Mitte, a historic medical society building next to the Charite campus with lecture halls and seminar rooms.
