BAU International Hospital is an orthopedic center in Batumi, Georgia. It specializes in total hip replacement through the direct anterior approach. The practice focuses on the bikini incision technique for better cosmetic results. Dr. Mikheil Mikeladze has led the orthopedics department since 2016. He is a PhD candidate researching patient outcomes in hip replacement surgery.
The hospital introduced two safety systems first in Georgia for joint surgery. Surgeons use a ventilated helmet system to lower infection risks. The team also uses the American STERIS ARCH leg positioner for precise traction. This device ensures repeatable limb positioning during the procedure. Patients follow a clear seven-stage recovery timeline after surgery.
Most patients walk independently by the second day. Dr. Mikeladze received the Ronald Burkle Fellowship from the Anterior Hip Foundation. He also completed fellowships at Edgewood Surgical Hospital and with Dr. Jonathan Yerasimides. International patients get online consultations and airport transfers. Staff assist in English, Georgian, and Russian.
