Orthopaedics & Spine

Expert and highly experienced specialists at the Department of Orthopaedics & Spine at Alhilal Hospitals diagnose, treat, rehabilitate and prevent disorders of the entire musculoskeletal system. Our orthopaedics and spine department encompasses the latest high-definition arthroscopic systems, state-of-the-art joint replacements with computer navigation technology and an exceptionally compassionate children’s orthopaedic department.

Joint replacements

Joint problems arise due to chronic diseases, injuries or complicated conditions like arthritis that are debilitating, in which case a joint replacement is the only solution. At Alhilal, our orthopaedic surgeons use the latest computer navigation technology for successful joint replacement of the knee, hip, shoulder, elbow and spine, resulting in smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, highly precise better outcomes. The minimised hospital stay reduces the chances of hospital induced infections and leads to faster recovery.

Arthroscopy and sports injuries

Alhilal’s specially designed comprehensive programme helps patients recover from sports injuries and resume daily activities sooner. Our surgeons treat the full range of athletic injuries in children and adults, for both professional and recreational athletes. Most arthroscopic surgeries are done on an out-patient basis, and thus, patients are allowed to go home within a day post-surgery.
