Coxarthrosis Treatment in Biruni University Hospital
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.
