Recently, the number of patients has increased, in which the functioning of the musculoskeletal system is impaired. Orthopedics of Israel is aimed at studying, diagnosing and treating such problems, as well as at preventing diseases.
The main directions of Israeli orthopedics
This industry exists in conjunction with sports medicine and traumatology.
This allows you to most effectively treat the musculoskeletal system. In addition, work in this country is closely linked with narrower profiles. The most common areas: endoprosthetics, arthroscopic surgery, biomechanics affecting the musculoskeletal system.
Diseases that are successfully treated in Israel
The most popular are: treatment of arthrosis, injuries, spine; joint prosthetics, fight against tumors. A separate area is traumatology and pediatric orthopedics: correction of the length of arms and legs in adolescents is successfully carried out here. The effectiveness of treatment, as we know, depends on the accuracy of the diagnosis. Israel uses modern equipment that allows a new level to carry out x-ray, ultrasound, computer and magnetic resonance imaging, as well as blood tests.
The musculoskeletal system is treated in Israel in the following ways
Surgery
Orthopedic operations in Israel are quite widespread. At the same time, doctors try to use surgical intervention only if the physiotherapeutic effect and the use of medications are ineffective. In addition, Israeli clinics use unique methods, thanks to which hygiene of the musculoskeletal system and the restoration of impaired functions of this system are more effectively carried out.
This method is most often used in the treatment of pathologies such as bone fractures. Depending on the type of injury, both immobilization and the use of osteosynthesis can be carried out. The latter include metallosynthesis and compression-distraction synthesis. The traction method is also widely used. It can be skeletal, plaster, adhesive. In the treatment of joints, puncture is often used, which can be performed for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Currently, when performing operations, arthroscopy is preferred. It is a type of endoscopic manipulation that is performed using an arthroscope with a micro-video camera.
In the event that the operation was performed to remove the joint, then Israeli specialists can offer endoprosthetics (put a prosthesis consisting of metal and synthetic materials).
Medication on the musculoskeletal system
Treatment in Israel is successfully carried out with the help of drugs. For example, for arthritis, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are widely used . Novocainic blockade and muscle relaxants are used for severe pain. With osteomyelitis and other infectious diseases, antibiotic therapy is used.
Physiotherapy
It is used to obtain faster treatment results and their consolidation. UV irradiation, phonophoresis, UHF therapy, applications from various ointments, radon baths - there is a whole course of physiotherapy that helps to get rid of not only joint problems, but also strengthens the whole body. There are sanatoriums for this. The musculoskeletal system and certain types of its pathology can be cured there using mud, as well as the waters of the Dead Sea. Here, patients can be offered massage and manual therapy. These methods help to restore normal posture, metabolism, improve blood circulation.
