About the clinic

Emsey Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, provides comprehensive care for osteoarthritis. Diagnostics like densitometry scans may cost around $80, while advanced MRI ranges from $180 to $500. Treatment options include stem cell therapy around $3,500-$5,500 and knee replacement surgery typically from $6,000-$7,000. The clinic's Orthopedics department is led by Prof. Mehmet Aydogan, a spine specialist with 17 years of experience.

Advanced Diagnostics

Emsey offers a full diagnostic panel. It includes specific imaging and lab tests. Options for osteoarthritis assessment include:

  • Densitometry scan to check bone density.
  • MRI of one area for detailed joint imaging.
  • MRI of the spine cord or Scintigraphy for further evaluation.
  • Blood tests to analyze inflammation markers.

A comprehensive diagnostic package is also available. It typically costs around $1,250. This package includes a Spine Center exam, a 3-region vertebral MRI, and blood tests. It also provides a 3-night stay in a guest house. This package does not include high-cost medications or extended hospitalization.

Treatment Options

The hospital provides several treatment pathways. These range from regenerative therapy to advanced surgery.

  • Stem cell therapy for knees uses the patient's own cells. The injection aims to reduce inflammation and promote cartilage repair. Hospital stay is typically 1-2 days. The price is generally between $3,500 and $5,500. This covers the injection and hospital stay, but not prior consultations or diagnostic tests.
  • Knee replacement surgery offers a lasting solution for severe osteoarthritis. Surgeons use custom-made prostheses for a precise fit. The procedure provides pain relief and restores joint function. A hospital stay of 4-7 days is common. The cost usually runs from $6,000 to $7,000, covering the surgery and hospitalization.
  • Knee Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical option. It involves small incisions and allows for faster recovery. The hospital stay is typically 1-2 days. This procedure may cost around $6,500, which includes the surgery and hospital stay.

Expert Care and Clinic Features

Prof. Mehmet Aydogan leads the orthopedic team. He is a Professor and Spinal Surgeon with over 17 years in the field. He has performed more than 10,000 spinal cases. Prof. Aydogan is a member of the North America Spine Society and Scoliosis Research Society. He has authored 60 national and international publications.

May the peace and mercy of God be with you. As a great program, the people who use it are great. The answer is excellent, but the last time was through MC Hospital Türkiye. The translator is a man named Issa. It is very weak in translation and does not translate. Why is this from the words of the doctor? Because the doctor spoke for a long time, and the translation was short, so there was a lot of things. It does not translate for me, and it did not benefit me at all, and the examination didn't help, doctor

From personal experience, very bad. Money was taken, no treatment was prescribed. Diagonstik proiti from morning to evening turn from one office to another. I went for 2 days, my condition worsened and I left. Transfer managers, the hotel is well organized. And you should not go to the clinic, the doctors do not understand the patient. This is not a clinic, probably a diagnostic center. With my shortness of breath, I almost died in the corridor, they did not provide honey. help. Generally Emsey for me
