The earlier the patient seeks help, the higher the chances of conducting adequate treatment as quickly and completely as possible.
How False Joint is Treated in Israel
The most effective method of treatment is performing surgery to restore bone integrity. Among conservative methods, those that promote the fusion of bone fragments have shown good results. The type of therapy largely depends on the type of pseudoarthrosis; thus, a false joint may have bone substance loss or not, with or without a bone defect. Treatment of accompanying diseases is mandatory.
Conservative Therapy. Preoperative therapy may involve taking medications that reduce inflammation in the fracture area. Postoperative treatment includes medications to strengthen bone tissue and promote faster recovery of the bone. Physiotherapeutic methods are effective: therapeutic exercises, balneotherapy. Patients are often recommended to visit the Dead Sea resorts, where the mineral composition of the water and mud helps strengthen the bone and activate blood supply.
Surgery. During the surgical intervention, surgeons remove fibrous-cartilaginous growths that form at the fracture site, and only then restore its integrity. Osteosynthesis surgery is performed, and Top Ihilov Clinic uses the least traumatic techniques for its execution. Access to the bone is achieved through a small incision, and the operation is conducted under the control of equipment.
Intramedullary Osteosynthesis involves fastening the bone fragments with a special rod that is inserted into the medullary canal. The fragments are connected with special plates. The wound is closed, and after some time, when the bone fuses, the rod is removed. To ensure that the patient does not have another scar, access is made through the same incision used for the rod insertion.
Extramedullary Osteosynthesis involves fixing bone fragments outside the medullary canal. Special plates are applied to the bone and fixed with screws. After the bone fuses, the structure is removed.
Bone Plastics. If a bone defect has formed as a result of pathology, the surgeons at Top Ihilov eliminate it using autoplasty: bone material is taken from the patient's healthy bone to close the defect. Autoplasty is a method that allows for faster stimulation of natural restoration of bone integrity without the implantation of foreign material.
Diagnostics
At Top Ihilov Clinic, the most modern diagnostic methods are used, which allow for an objective assessment of the condition of bone structures and, consequently, the selection of the most optimal treatment strategy.
For those patients who doubt the correctness of the diagnosis and treatment in their home country, there is a special service called "second opinion," which provides qualified consultation without the need to travel to Israel. This is provided by leading orthopedic doctors at the clinic remotely via Skype. After reviewing the medical documents provided by the patient, the doctor confirms or refutes the diagnosis made in the home country and offers the treatment plan that he considers most optimal. The orthopedic surgeon will also explain how this case is treated in Israel. If, after the Skype consultation, the patient decides to be treated at Top Ihilov Clinic, the first in-person consultation will be free of charge.
Minimum time is spent on diagnostics.
First Day
Upon arriving in Israel, the patient meets a clinic representative at the airport, who accompanies the patient to the first consultation with the treating orthopedic doctor. A visual examination takes place.
Second Day
The examination consists of the following diagnostic procedures:
- X-ray of the affected bone. The degree of displacement of bone fragments and the presence of osteoporosis are determined.
- MRI. The condition of the soft tissues in the affected area is assessed.
- CT. The affected area is visualized, and the condition of the bone and its structures is determined.
Third Day
Specialized doctors gather for a consultation and express their opinions on the best treatment method. An individual approach to the patient and a collegial development of the therapy plan ensure the selection of the most effective method.
