Knee Replacement Surgery in Israel

It is a common misconception that conditions such as arthrosis (cartilage damage), osteoarthritis (common among senior patients), and arthritis can be treated by means of physiotherapy, acupuncture, massages, or managed by medications. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Non-invasive methods of treatment can provide only short-term relief. Only a knee replacement surgery will get you back on your feet.

Technological advances (such as high-teach biologic joint prostheses and biological adhesives) made Israel the leading destination for this treatment. During the operation the surgeon will remove the damages parts of your knee joint and replace them with biocompatible prostheses, ensuring smooth and painless joint motions from then on. The exact sizes and type of the prostheses will be determined by your surgeon during your preoperative exam.

Knee replacements have a higher success rate than most other orthopedic surgeries. Another advantage of the knee replacement procedure is that there is no need for rehabilitation! The only exercise you’ll be required to perform is bending/straightening the knee for the first 4-6 weeks following the surgery. This is done at home, and there’s absolutely no need for you to go to a rehabilitation center.

If you are an elderly patient suffering from:

• Knee joint pain
• Limited knee joint mobility
• Cartilage damage
• Wear of joint surfaces

You may require a knee replacement surgery.

As time is of the essence when dealing with this type of condition, we urge you to contact as ASAP. If you already have an X-ray scan, you can attach images to a contact form. It will allow our specialists to assess the damage to your knee joint. Also, please provide us with as much information as possible about the symptoms you are currently experiencing. This will help our Israeli orthopedist draft a diagnostics program in advance of your arrival. The long distance consultation is FREE OF CHARGE. If you did not previously undergo a high-resolution scan will take place after your arrival in Israel. You will also have an orthopedist consultation, following which they will draft a treatment program for you.

Please note that if you require bilateral knee joint replacement, the more worn joint will be replaced first. The second knee can be operated on 4 to 6 months later.
