Types of surgeries at MDI Clinic

Joint pathologies occur in 30% of the population. They are most often experienced by the elderly and those at risk, such as athletes. In some situations, the disease involves medication or physiotherapy, but in advanced stages or serious injuries, surgical intervention is required.

MDI Clinic specialists are usually faced with the need for meniscus or ligament repair surgery, as well as joint endoprosthetics.

Surgery for meniscus and ligament injuries

Modern methods of orthopedic surgery allow the menisci to be sutured or removed, and the ligaments to be reconstructed using donor tendons or the patient’s own materials. MDI Clinic utilizes state-of-the-art fixation techniques and accelerated recovery techniques afterward.

The most common injury is a tear of the meniscus, which is the lining between the bones. A surgery called meniscus resection is used to solve the problem. In this case, surgeons remove the damaged part using an arthroscopic technique, that is, without opening the joint. If the tear occurred near the joint capsule, in an area well supplied with blood, specialists perform surgery to stitch the meniscus. This method of solving the problem is considered the best option to restore the anatomical integrity of the joints, avoid the development of osteoarthritis and provide the patient with freedom of action.

The surgical intervention involves a small puncture through which an optic is inserted, giving the surgeon access to the surgical field in multiple magnification. Another puncture is for inserting endoscopic surgical instruments and performing the meniscus suture procedure itself.

Joint endoprosthetics

MDI Clinic specialists have successfully managed hip, shoulder and knee replacements for people of all ages. The success rate of such operations is confidently approaching the 95-100% mark. Prerequisites for surgery are most often found in the elderly, especially after a femoral neck fracture or as a result of osteoarthritis. At the clinic, we work even with elderly patients, successfully restoring people’s freedom of action and the ability to move freely.

Before the introduction of modern techniques into surgical practice, prosthetics were accompanied by increased risk and abundant blood loss. Today, clinics in Israel, including MDI Clinic, use the latest technology to reduce blood loss and prevent damage to muscles, nerves or large vessels.

Endoprosthetics involves the use of durable, reliable and safe biocompatible materials that are not rejected by the body. The process involves:

• Directly, performing the surgery. Takes about an hour and is performed under general or epidural anesthesia, depending on the specific task, the patient’s condition and the doctor’s orders.
• Suture removal and physical therapy recovery procedures.
• Restoration of freedom of action and movement as early as one month after surgery.

Full-fledged physical activity and sports are possible two to three months after surgery.
