Hip and Knee Joint Replacement

Hip and Knee joint replacement

The orthopedic department at the Barzilai medical center is proud to be one of the hospitals that uses very modern and sophisticated methods and appliances for hip and knee replacement: Computer driven surgeries, robotic driven surgeries and augmented reality surgeries. Total hip replacement is now being performed while the patient is resting on a special surgical table by front access without the need to detach muscles. This access makes the recovery of the patient faster so that he can return to regular life activities soon after the operation.

Fractures of the surgical neck of the femur are now treated by total hip replacment using a bi-pelvic prosthesis that allows better walking stability especially for the elderly. This is a very modern approach that improves the rehabilitation with less pain. Many patients leave the hospital the day agter the surgery ealking on their legs.

Total knee replacement is performed using a special prosthesis that mimics the normal movements of the knee.
