Dr. Sulaiman Al Habib Hospital in Al-Mohammadiyah, Jeddah, has achieved remarkable success in performing knee and hip joint replacement surgeries, spinal surgeries and deformity corrections, among others. This success is attributed to a distinguished team of expert orthopedic and joint surgery consultants, the availability of the latest medical devices, and continuous advancements in surgical techniques, alongside the hospital’s commitment to using the best types of artificial joints.

Dr. Abdulzaher Al-Saati, Consultant of Orthopedic Surgery, Joints, and Sports Injuries at the hospital, stated that the Orthopedics Department is fully equipped to provide healthcare according to the highest standards for various orthopedic surgeries for adults and children. Knee and hip joint replacements are performed using the latest methods that significantly reduce pain, shorten hospitalization, recovery, and rehabilitation periods, and allow walking on the same day of surgery. The use of peripheral nerve block anesthesia has made the patient’s treatment journey much easier. The development of artificial joints has provided multiple options, with improved quality, durability, flexibility, and longer lifespan.

The department also offers distinguished services for accident and fracture cases of various degrees, osteoarthritis and joint inflammations, in addition to spinal surgeries, deformity corrections, vertebrae fixation, and removal of nerve-compressing discs. Furthermore, it performs shoulder arthroscopy to repair torn tendons and stabilize dislocations, knee arthroscopy to repair meniscal cartilage and anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments, ankle arthroscopy to clean and treat joint cartilage, spinal canal widening surgeries, and treatments for lower back and neck pain.

The department includes many consultants specialized in various precise orthopedic surgery fields, holding European Fellowship and American Board certifications. It also boasts advanced capabilities in accurate diagnosis of bone, joint, and spinal injuries through a high-level diagnostic radiology center equipped with the latest imaging devices such as the GE MRI SIGNA Artist 1.5 T, which provides 360-degree coverage and high-quality consistent images of joints and spine at high speed, simplifying procedures and reducing patient waiting times. It is also designed to image bodies weighing up to 227kg.

The department is supported by a developed physical therapy center offering a range of top services and the latest devices to accelerate treatment and rehabilitate patients with musculoskeletal injuries. Additionally, a 24-hour emergency department is equipped with the latest technologies to handle all urgent orthopedic cases, alongside a fleet of advanced ambulances equipped with electronically operated beds to maintain patient stability and avoid manual transfers by paramedics, increasing safety rates.
