The Top Ichilov Clinic offers a full range of services for the surgical treatment of elbow joints, including:
- elbow joint arthroplasty;
- correction of injuries, fistulas, abscesses;
- surgical removal of bone tumors and metastases (including sarcoma).
All surgeries are performed using modern equipment and techniques, ensuring maximum preservation of surrounding healthy tissues (bone, muscle). Specialists at the Top Ichilov Clinic are skilled in the relevant techniques and have extensive experience in performing arthroscopic surgeries, allowing them to carry out procedures of any complexity (resection of intra-articular bodies, sanitation of chondromalacia foci, arthrolysis).
In cases of complications from diseases such as osteoarthritis, arthritis, as well as significant damage to the peripheral tissues of the elbow joint (traumatic, surgical), the patient is recommended for prosthetic surgery. For the experienced specialists at the leading Israeli clinic Top Ichilov, elbow joint arthroplasty is a routine operation: here, world-renowned surgeons, adept in modern medical technology and advanced surgical techniques for joint replacement, almost daily restore mobility to patients' arms with various diagnoses.
Elbow prostheses can be of two types:
- Metal elbow prostheses (with hinges)
- Silicone elbow prostheses (without hinges)
Each patient at the Top Ichilov Clinic receives a prosthesis tailored specifically to their physiological characteristics, age, physical condition, type of injury or disease causing the joint replacement, etc. Special attention is paid to the adjustment of the prosthesis, which must accurately replicate the natural movements of the arm, as well as its safety and reliability.
Elbow joint prostheses are made from the best materials and are designed for long-term use: the Top Ichilov Clinic collaborates with leading manufacturers of prostheses worldwide.
- Joint arthroplasty at Top Ichilov is performed using minimally invasive methods, leaving no large scars and significantly reducing the rehabilitation period.
- Elbow joint replacement through arthroplasty takes only about 1 hour.
- Often, the doctors at the Top Ichilov Clinic use the most modern method of securing the elbow prosthesis – a combination of a porous structure designed for bone tissue ingrowth with orthopedic cement.
- The functionality of the elbow joint after surgery is almost fully restored within 3 weeks.
