Why Choose Turkey for Orthopaedic Surgery?
Turkey's JCI-accredited hospitals are equipped with the same Stryker, Zimmer Biomet and DePuy prosthesis systems used in UK private hospitals. Orthopaedic procedures in Turkey cost 55-65% less than UK private rates, and waiting times are measured in days rather than months. Ankara and Istanbul lead for orthopaedic surgery volume and specialist experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is knee or hip replacement safe in Turkey?
Yes — when performed in a JCI-accredited hospital. Turkey's top orthopaedic hospitals hold the same international accreditation as leading UK private hospitals and use the same globally certified implant systems.
How long will I need to stay in Turkey?
Knee and hip replacements typically require 5–7 days in hospital followed by 3–5 days recovery before flying. Most patients plan a 10–14 day trip total.
What implant systems are used?
Top Turkish orthopaedic hospitals use the same brands as UK and German hospitals — Stryker, Zimmer Biomet, DePuy Synthes, and Smith+Nephew are all available. Always confirm your implant brand in writing before booking.
Will I need physiotherapy after returning to the UK?
Yes — post-operative physiotherapy is essential and should be arranged in the UK before you travel. Your Turkish hospital will provide a rehabilitation protocol. Your UK GP can refer you to NHS physiotherapy or you can arrange private sessions.
