Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question? Our support team is here to guide you through each step of your treatment journey with personal care and attention.Can Acibadem review my MRI or X ray before I travel for orthopaedic surgery?
Yes. The orthopaedic specialist reviews your imaging before you travel, so you receive a written treatment plan and cost estimate before committing to any journey.
For knee and hip cases, weight bearing standing X rays and MRI are most useful.
For spinal cases, standing flexion extension X rays alongside MRI confirm diagnosis and surgical planning.
You only travel once you have a clear plan, a named surgeon, and a transparent cost figure in writing.
How do I contact the international patient team for orthopaedics at Acibadem?
Appointments, imaging reviews, cost estimates, and treatment coordination are handled by the international patient team, available 24/7.
- WhatsApp: +1 718 550 0880
- Telephone: +1 718 550 0880
- Email: [email protected]
Send your MRI or X ray files and a summary of your condition to start the review. The team coordinates all specialist appointments on your behalf.
How long does ACL reconstruction recovery take and when can I fly home?
Return to pivoting sport at Acibadem follows a 9-12 month timeline, not the 6 month figure sometimes cited elsewhere.
Clearance requires objective testing: quad and hamstring symmetry ratios, hop tests, and movement quality.
You can fly home within approximately 7-10 days of surgery once swelling is manageable and early healing confirmed.
Your physiotherapist at home completes sport clearance testing over the full recovery period.
How long will I need to stay in Turkey for knee or hip replacement?
The planned stay for joint replacement at Acibadem is approximately 14 days:
- Days 1-2: Arrival, pre operative assessment
- Surgery day: 45-90 minutes under anaesthesia
- Hospital stay: 1-3 days, physiotherapy begins day 1
- Days up to 10: Hotel based recovery with outpatient physiotherapy
- Day 14: Final review, cleared to fly home
Accommodation near the facility is arranged at no booking cost by the international patient team. Options depend on preference and budget. Your caregiver can be accommodated in the same arrangement.
How much does knee or hip replacement cost at Acibadem compared to the UK or USA?
Knee replacement: indicative range $8,500-$15,000 in Turkey vs $22,100-$39,000 in the UK and $30,600-$54,000 in the USA.
Hip replacement: $9,000-$16,000 in Turkey vs $23,400-$41,600 in the UK and $32,400-$57,600 in the USA.
The all inclusive package covers the named implant, hospital stay, physiotherapy, medications, and airport transfers.
International health insurance is accepted through 69+ partners. The international patient team confirms coverage and arranges direct billing where your policy allows.
What happens if complications develop after I return home from orthopaedic surgery?
Seek local medical care immediately for urgent symptoms.
Before you leave Turkey you receive:
- Full written discharge summary with implant details (model, size, manufacturer, batch number)
- Wound care instructions and medication plan
- Warning signs: fever, wound redness, calf swelling, breathlessness
Your international patient coordinator remains contactable after departure. Remote video review with the Acibadem specialist can be arranged where appropriate.
What is the International Joint Center at Acibadem Maslak?
