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 I get a second opinion on my orthopaedic condition before travelling to Turkey?
Yes. Memorial offers a remote second medical opinion where your existing X-rays, MRI scans, and medical records are reviewed by an orthopaedic surgeon. You receive a written assessment with a recommended treatment plan, estimated timeline, and cost breakdown. This can be arranged through an online video consultation with no obligation to proceed, and your existing imaging from your home country is accepted and reviewed before any travel decision.
Can I receive follow-up physiotherapy and orthopaedic care after returning home?
Your orthopaedic surgeon at Memorial remains accessible after discharge through online consultations coordinated by the international patient team. Your physiotherapy and rehabilitation plan is shared with you so it can be continued with a local provider, and your recovery progress is reviewed remotely by your Memorial surgeon.
How do I contact the international patient support team for orthopaedic surgery at Memorial Hospitals?
Appointments, orthopaedic consultations, and joint surgery planning at Memorial Hospitals in Istanbul, Ankara, and Antalya are coordinated through the International Patient Care team, which supports international patients before, during, and after travel.
- WhatsApp: +1 718 550 0880
- Telephone: +1 718 550 0880
- Email: [email protected]
The team is available 24/7 and can arrange in-person orthopaedic appointments, online video consultations with surgeons, second medical opinions on your joint or bone condition, and full treatment coordination including accommodation and airport transfers.
How long will I need to stay in Turkey for orthopaedic surgery at Memorial?
The length of stay depends on the type of orthopaedic procedure.
- Knee arthroscopy or meniscus surgery: 3 to 5 days
- ACL reconstruction: 7 to 10 days
- Shoulder arthroscopy: 5 to 7 days
- Total knee or hip replacement: 10 to 14 days
- Robotic knee replacement: 7 to 10 days
- Limb lengthening (Ilizarov): multiple visits over several months
Memorial's international patient team provides a detailed treatment timeline before departure so you can plan flights and accommodation around your specific procedure.
How much does orthopaedic surgery cost at Memorial compared to the UK or US?
Orthopaedic surgery at Memorial costs 50% to 70% less than equivalent procedures in the UK, US, or Germany. Total knee replacement in Turkey ranges from $6,000 to $12,000, compared to $20,000 to $50,000 in the US. Hip replacement follows a similar cost range. Robotic joint replacement may carry a modest premium. All cost estimates are provided upfront before travel, covering hospitalisation, implant, surgery, and post-operative physiotherapy.
Is knee or hip replacement at Memorial Hospitals safe for international patients?
Joint replacement at Memorial is performed in JCI-accredited hospitals using robotic MAKOplasty technology that plans your surgery on a 3D model of your joint before any incision is made. Prosthesis loosening occurs in only 3% to 10% of patients within the first 10 years after surgery. Patients walk on the same day or next morning after knee replacement and are discharged within 3 to 4 days. All implants used at Memorial are compatible with MRI and CT scanning.
