It is now possible to rehabilitate and restore hip joints so that patients can
return to doing things that were once part of their normal routine,” says Dr.
Ehud Rath, the Director of the Minimally Invasive Orthopedics Unit, who set the
global trend by pioneering the arthroscopic non-invasive surgical
technique.
Accelerated recovery and return to activity
The procedure is
performed as day surgery, with patients discharged either on the same day or the
next day. In most cases, patients can put weight on their foot several hours
after surgery and can walk without crutches after about two weeks. It takes
about three months for athletes to return to their previous performance levels.
This personalized medicine, which includes tailored rehabilitation, is the last
word in Western hip solutions.
Dr. Rath and his team recently published
an effective new technique for post-arthroscopic pain relief for the initial
recovery period – the first 12 hours after the surgery.
