Dr. Jan Ahrens

Dr. Ahrens is an experienced specialist in joint-preserving operations, artificial joint replacement (endoprosthetics) and revision endoprosthetics, i.e. prosthesis replacement operations of the hip and knee joint.

As a “special orthopedic surgeon”, Dr. Ahrens is one of the few physicians in the region to combine joint-preserving operations, such as arthroscopies and so-called conversion operations, with regenerative cartilage operations or cartilage replacement procedures.

The surgical focus is on artificial joint replacement of the knee joint, i.e. complete knee joint endoprosthetics.

Here, primary care is largely performed using the so-called ” PSI knee prostheses” (PSI=Patient Specific Instruments”).

“Minimally invasive hip arthroplasty” with so-called cementless short-shaft prostheses as well as classical hip prosthesis operations are part of the daily operative routine of the experienced surgeon.

For many years, Dr. Ahrens has successfully performed complex replacement operations on knee and hip joints, the so-called revision endoprosthetics.

The third surgical focus is the complete surgical treatment of the shoulder joint.

The spectrum ranges from arthroscopic shoulder surgery, with reconstruction of tendon injuries and shoulder stabilization operations, to endoprosthetic treatment of shoulder arthrosis. Using state-of-the-art surface replacement prostheses and so-called “inverse” shoulder prostheses, Dr. Ahrens can help patients.
