Orthopedics and spine surgery in Israel
Orthopedic departments at Sheba, Ichilov and Assuta perform thousands of joint replacements and spine operations every year. K.R.V Medical Group selects the surgeon for the specific diagnosis — hip or knee osteoarthritis, herniated disc, spinal stenosis, ligament and meniscus tears, fractures, sports injuries. We use robotic Mako systems, O-arm navigation and Zimmer, Stryker and DePuy implants.

Frequently asked questions
How much does hip replacement cost?▾
Total hip replacement in Israel — from $24,000 turnkey (surgery, premium-line implant, hospital stay, consumables). Knee replacement — from $26,000.
What is the Mako robot and why is it needed?▾
Mako is a Stryker robotic system that helps the surgeon place joint components with millimeter accuracy based on the patient's individual 3D model. This shortens rehab and reduces the risk of revision surgery.
Can a herniated disc be operated on without a large incision?▾
Yes. Sheba and Ichilov perform microdiscectomy through a 2–3 cm incision using a microscope. Hospital stay 1–2 days, return to office work in 2–3 weeks.
How long do I wait for elective surgery?▾
After we receive your medical documents and agree the estimate, surgery is scheduled within 7–14 days from the patient's arrival.
Is rehab available in Israel?▾
Yes. After joint replacement and spinal surgery we help arrange inpatient or outpatient rehab in specialized centers, including pool therapy and robotic gait training.
