Hand Surgery

Trauma of the ligaments of the hand and fractures of the carpal and metacarpal bones  are the most common surgeries performed. The uniqueness of the hand surgery 

unit at the Barzilai medical center is that it is one of the leading departments in Israel in replacement of the basal joint of the thumb. Until recently, the disease of the basal joint of the thumb was untreatable.This new method was developed in France where the worn joint is replaced by a prosthesis.

Patients are who discharged after surgery of the hand continue rehabilitation daily at the occupational therapy unit, which is one of the most sought-after units in Israel.
