How do I travel to Istanbul for Orthopaedic Surgery?⌄
Istanbul is served by Istanbul Airport (IST) and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW), with direct flights from most UK and European cities — roughly a 4-hour flight from London. Most clinics on our platform include airport transfers in their packages — confirm this directly with the clinic when you request a quote.
Why choose Istanbul for Orthopaedic Surgery over other Turkish cities?⌄
Istanbul is a large metropolitan city with the widest choice of accredited clinics, hotels and English-speaking staff. The right city depends on your priorities — clinic choice, travel convenience and recovery environment — so we'd encourage comparing verified clinics in more than one city before deciding.
How long should I stay in Istanbul for Orthopaedic Surgery?⌄
Most patients plan a stay covering the 7-day procedure plus early recovery; many fly home before the full 30-day recovery is complete and continue aftercare remotely with the clinic.
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.
