About the clinic

Coxarthrosis care at Biruni University Faculty of Medicine Hospital in Küçükçekmece, Istanbul, includes non-surgical care and hip replacement surgery. A blood count may cost around $50–$100, a treatment-plan consultation around $200, and a hip MRI around $500–$800. The TEMOS- and ISO-accredited hospital uses robotic systems for hip and knee replacement.

Assistant Professor Dr. Şafak Sayar specializes in hip and knee prostheses and has over 10 years of experience in orthopedics and traumatology.

Coxarthrosis tests, including hip MRI

Assessment can include imaging, blood work, and a consultation to create a treatment plan. Available diagnostic options include:

  • Complete blood count and tests for inflammation or rheumatic disease
  • Hip and pelvis X-rays, MRI of one area, or computed tomography (CT)
  • Ultrasound of soft tissue and joints
  • Diagnostic arthroscopy or electromyography (EMG)
  • Consultation with creation of a treatment plan

Non-surgical care and joint injections

Conservative treatment is a first-line option before joint replacement is considered. It may include:

  • Pain medicine, physiotherapy, rehabilitation, and exercise therapy
  • Weight control, orthoses, and walking aids
  • Intra-articular cortisone or hyaluronic acid injections

Hip replacement with cobalt-chromium or titanium implants

Total hip replacement may be considered when advanced cartilage wear continues after medication, physiotherapy, cane use, and joint injections. The surgeon removes damaged joint and cartilage tissue, then fits an artificial hip joint.

Implants may use cobalt-chromium or titanium, with metal, ceramic, or plastic bearing surfaces. Surgery takes about 2 hours under general or epidural anesthesia, followed by a 2–3 day hospital stay. Implant lifespan averages about 20 years, depending on patient care.

Patients begin walking with crutches on day 2, and physiotherapy starts the same day. Returning to previous activity takes about 5–6 weeks. For at least 6 weeks, patients should avoid lying on the operated side, low chairs, squat toilets, leaning forward, crossing the legs, or raising the knees above the hips.

Robotic-assisted hip replacement

A robotic system guides bone cuts during prosthesis placement. This method uses smaller incisions and may support more precise cuts and implant placement, with less blood loss and lower risks of infection and complications.

Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss assessment and treatment options.

HERNIATED DISC - SPINE SURGERY - UK PATIENT I’ll be honest, I’m never one for leaving reviews but the experience here has been amazing that it’s deserved and hoping this message might be helpful to others. I’m from the uk and the cost for my procedure back home was way too expensive for me that I needed to look elsewhere and found Biruni University Hospital. I was contacted by Rose, who has helped me from the start to finish. She’s been my guide and if it wasn’t for her I don’t know where I’d be right now. Her supervisor “Furkan” to the doctor who operated the spine surgery on me “Dr Melih Ucer” everyone made me feel relaxed and at ease. The hospital looks amazing inside and out, it’s very clean with staff always smiling and helpful. If anyone reading this who has a herniated disc and is in so much pain. Here is the place to be and if you’re unsure then messaged and ask for Rose. Like I said, she’s been so helpful from the start to finish and if it wasn’t for her I don’t know where I’d be right now and that’s the truth. Thank you to BIRUNI UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL and to the team who looked after me. Your service has been amazing and I’m very grateful.

This is one of my favorite hospitals. It has many excellent doctors, especially Prof. Dr. Cüneyt—he is one of the best and kindest doctors I’ve met. Some of the staff are also very polite, except for one person. I have visited this hospital many times for my family’s check-ups, and I am very satisfied with the service. I also want to express my appreciation for the English translator named Ayan. She was very polite, kind, and talent

I stayed here at the Biruni Hospital for 6 nights and honestly it was better than I could’ve imagined. Very clean new building, stylish and modern. Staff are absolutely amazing, very professional and friendly, always checking in and asking if I need anything. Lots of translators so communication is no problem. My surgeon for my procedure was Dr Koray, he is amazing, his work is so neat and he is so caring and supportive he made all my worries disappear I can’t shout his praises enough. Overall I would 100% recommend.

I had a 360fdl and extended arm lift here and could not rate this high enough. 5 stars just isn’t enough to rate the service. Me and my companion were treated with kindness and respect. The nurses and doctors and surgeons were brilliant and the translators who were on hand 24/7 were so helpful and were able to assist us with everything we needed! We will be back later in the year for a further surgery and we are very much looking forward to returning to this hospital.

I visited this hospital for my father’s check-up. I specifically selected a doctor and waited for one week to get an appointment with that doctor. On the day of the appointment, when I arrived at the hospital, they took me to a different doctor without informing me. I had even canceled the eye department appointment just to meet the doctor I originally chose. In addition, I waited for about one hour at the check-up center to solve this problem, but unfortunately, there was no one there to assist me. I was very disappointed with the way the hospital handled the situation. I hope they improve their scheduling, communication, and patient support in the future.
