Treatment and diagnostics hip joint replacement (hip arthroplasty) in Suwon, South Korea

When I was diagnosed with 'bilateral coxarthrosis of the 4th degree,' I started searching online for treatment methods. That's how I learned about the possibility of endoprosthesis replacement using the Robodoc system and that it is used at Dr. Lee Chun Taek's clinic. Reviews about treatment here were good, so I decided to send my X-rays here, after which I was invited for surgery.

At the airport, I was met by coordinator Zhenya, who accompanied me throughout the entire treatment period. Diagnostics were conducted immediately: MRI, CT, X-ray. Using the images, they created a 3D model of the joint for Robodoc, and the very next day, surgery was scheduled, performed by the chief doctor himself.

In a couple of hours, they installed a prosthesis with a ceramic coating and sent me to rest in the ward. Thanks to the care in the first hours, there was no pain or complications: a nurse checked on me every 15 minutes, they put in an IV with painkillers and a special pneumatic system on my legs to prevent blood clots.

I want to express my gratitude to everyone who helped me on this trip, the coordinator and the doctors.

This year, I contacted this wonderful clinic for the second time. The first was several years ago when the issue of replacing my knee and hip joints became acute: it was already hard to walk due to pain. Back then, I was seen by Dr. Lee Chun Taek himself, and he recommended replacing both joints at once. The surgeries were successful, and I recovered very easily thanks to physiotherapy and a rehabilitation program that the doctors prepared for me.

When it was time to replace the second hip joint, I, without hesitation, went back to Dr. Lee Chun Taek's clinic. Over the years, the clinic has only gotten better and even more friendly to foreign patients. The doctors are attentive, competent, and very professional.
