Ankle Replacement Surgery in Israel
Endoprosthetics of the ankle joint in Israel is a surgery that is performed in cases of severe damage to the ankle, due to injury or inflammatory disease. Unlike classic arthrodesis surgery (joint fusion), endoprosthetics allow to maintain joint mobility and restore flexion-extension of the ankle. The operation allows patients to return to their usual lifestyle and fully restore the motor functions of the foot.
If you have:
- Late-stage arthritis
- Deforming osteoarthritis
You need an ankle replacement in Israel! More than 11,000 ankle replacement surgeries are performed annually in the world. Most patients are satisfied with the result obtained, and given that the service life of modern implants exceeds 10 years, for lots of patients endoprosthetics will be a lifelong solution. Modern materials and technologies for manufacturing implants allow to choose a model taking into account the nature of joint damage and the physiological characteristics of a particular patient. This approach allows to get the most reliable, safe and effective results.
Endoprosthetics of the ankle joint: price
Before making a decision on the need for prosthetics, a complex of diagnostic examinations is performed, including:
- CT scan of the ankle
- Option: X-ray of the ankle in 2 projections
- Consultation with a leading orthopedic specialist in the foot and ankle joint disorders
The evaluation program is performed during 1-2 working days at the Assuta Clinic Tel Aviv. The cost of the surgery for ankle replacement is calculated as follows:
- Preoperative preparation (blood tests, ECG, lung X-ray, anesthesiologist)
- Ankle replacement surgery, including up to 7 days of hospitalization in a standard double room of the orthopedic department of Assuta Hospital
- Consumables and joint replacement
This program is basic. During its implementation, changes and additions are possible depending on the results of the evaluation. These changes may lead to an increase in the cost of the program and the length of stay in Israel. After discharge, it is necessary to stay in Israel for 10-14 days, for postoperative follow-up. The time of recovery and the cost of rehabilitation treatment are very individual. The determining factor is the condition of the joint before surgery. The cost of recovery is calculated after surgery, in accordance with the recommendations of the attending physician. The surgery is organized at the newest specialized surgical Israeli hospital ‘Assuta’ in Tel Aviv. The clinic is equipped according to the highest international standards and offers the most advanced methods of ankle replacement. Innovative methods of visual diagnostics used during the operation, reduce the operational risks to a minimum and shorten the recovery time after surgery.
