About the clinic
Knee replacement at Leadheal Hospital in Seoul, South Korea, provides personalized surgical solutions for patients with severe joint damage. The hospital operates a dedicated Custom Artificial Joint Center to manage both partial and total joint replacements. Patients benefit from a First-grade rating in antibiotic prescription evaluation from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA).
Surgical Options and Customization
The hospital offers two main types of knee surgery based on the severity of osteoarthritis. Partial knee replacement replaces only the damaged section of the joint. Total knee replacement involves replacing the entire joint when the damage is widespread. Doctors choose the method by looking at the patient's condition, lifestyle, and overall health. The Custom Artificial Joint Center focuses on matching the surgery to the specific amount of knee wear.
Specialized Treatment Centers
Leadheal Hospital uses a Joint Quick Care System to help patients recover faster. This system starts rapid examinations and treatments the moment a patient arrives. The facility includes a Micro Arthroscopy Center for minimally invasive procedures and a Joint Surgery Center. These units work together to help patients return to their daily activities as soon as possible.
Safety and Recovery Protocols
The medical team follows strict safety rules to lower the risk of infection. Patients must stop smoking at least 4 weeks before their knee surgery. After the operation, patients need to avoid smoking for 6 to 8 weeks. For procedures involving bone or cartilage regeneration, this period extends to at least 3 months. These steps help support bone healing and improve long-term results.
Expert Orthopedic Surgeons
Dr. Kim Jang-hyo and Dr. Kwak Woo-kyung lead the orthopedic department as Directors. Dr. Kim Jang-hyo specializes in artificial joint surgery for the knee, hip, and shoulder, as well as spine fixation. Dr. Kwak Woo-kyung focuses on knee replacement, sports injuries, and fractures. Both surgeons are skilled in arthroscopy, which allows for smaller incisions and precise joint repair.

After giving birth, my back started to hurt from watching idols, so I went for my first treatment.
I was treated by Director Hwang Sang-won, and his explanations were concise and easy to understand. He spoke to me so clearly about my concerns about breastfeeding, so I received treatment without any worries.
I hope to continue visiting him in the future.

I developed a cyst on my foot and had surgery. Dr. Joo Sung-hoon performed a thorough surgical procedure on the complex, spread cysts, and they're healing beautifully. I was so scared during the surgery, but the nurses and doctors were so kind and helpful, so everything went smoothly. The nurses were also incredibly kind. I'm so happy to be able to wear sneakers :)

I called my mother to check up on her, and she said she was having surgery.
She said she was having a minor surgery at Eunpyeong Lead Hill Hospital, where I've been going for a while.
So, I visited her with my daughter this afternoon, and the surgery went well.
Director Hwang Sang-won performed the surgery himself, and the results were good.
I checked in with her and left the hospital.
This seems like a friendly and skilled hospital.

I didn't have much confidence in my local hospital, so I ended up receiving treatment there. However, it reaffirmed the importance of choice. The friendly and proactive treatment method made me feel like half of my illness had already been cured, making my hospital stay feel easier.
