Arthrosis Treatment in Dr. Gemalmaz - 3D Patient-Specific Orthopedics

Dr. Gemalmaz - 3D Patient-Specific Orthopedics in Istanbul, Turkey, offers patient-specific treatments for arthrosis. Diagnostics using 3D planning are included with treatment packages. A consultation may cost around $220, knee arthroscopy is around $4,000, and advanced robotic hip surgery with MAKOplasty typically runs $16,000 to $16,500. The clinic is the only one in Turkey to use 3D CAD surgical planning for every orthopedic procedure, ensuring high precision.

Available Diagnostic Planning

Before surgery, detailed planning creates a custom 3D model of the patient's joint. This process includes:

• 3D CAD surgical planning for virtual surgery simulation.
• Patient-specific 3D-printed guides that act as custom templates.
• Pre-operative imaging like X-rays and CT scans.
• Robotic planning for procedures using the MAKO system.

These tools are designed to improve accuracy during the operation.

Arthrosis Treatment Options

The clinic provides several surgical methods for arthrosis, all using 3D planning. Assoc. Prof. Halil Can Gemalmaz leads the center. He is a pioneer in 3D-assisted surgery in Turkey with 16 years of experience and over 1,100 procedures performed. His affiliation with Johns Hopkins underscores his expertise.

Available treatments include:

• Knee arthroscopy. This minimally invasive, keyhole surgery uses 3D-printed guides. It may cost around $4,000 and includes a 1-2 night hospital stay.
• Knee replacement. This joint replacement uses CAD-assisted planning. Packages typically run $5,500 to $8,000. They cover implants, hospital and surgeon fees, airport transfers, and diagnostics. The hospital stay is 3-5 nights.
• Hip replacement. This procedure also uses patient-specific 3D planning. The price is around $7,500 to $12,000. It includes implants and airport transfers, with a 3-5 night stay.
• MAKOplasty hip replacement. This is a robotic-assisted surgery. It offers ultra-precise implant placement. The cost is typically between $16,000 and $16,500, covering the robotic procedure and hospital fees.

Each approach aims to reduce surgery time and support a smoother recovery. The clinic's methods are tailored to each individual's anatomy. Consider contacting the clinic to discuss which option is suitable for your specific condition.
