Hisar Hospital Intercontinental in Istanbul, Turkey provides comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for coxarthrosis, or hip joint osteoarthritis. An orthopedic consultation typically costs $130-$170. Diagnostics range from a $60 hip X-ray to an MRI for around $300-$700. The JCI-accredited clinic is led by Dr. Yusuf Bayram, a specialist in cementless hip replacement with 13 years of experience.
Diagnosis and Consultation
Diagnosing coxarthrosis starts with a detailed orthopedic evaluation. Doctors assess pain levels, mobility, and joint function. They then use advanced imaging to confirm the diagnosis and plan treatment.
Available diagnostic procedures at Hisar Hospital include:
- Orthopedic Consultation: A thorough physical exam and medical history review.
- X-ray of Hip Joints: Provides a basic image of bone structure and joint space.
- MRI of Hip Joints: Offers detailed pictures of soft tissues like cartilage and ligaments.
- CT Scan: Creates a 3D model of the joint for complex cases.
- Laboratory Tests: Blood tests help rule out other causes of joint pain.
Non-Surgical Treatment
Stem Cell Therapy is a regenerative treatment for earlier-stage arthritis. It aims to stimulate cartilage repair and reduce inflammation. The treatment involves an injection of processed stem cells directly into the hip joint. It is an outpatient procedure that may cost around $3,500-$6,000. The package typically includes the injection and follow-up care.
Surgical Treatment Options
Surgery is recommended for advanced coxarthrosis with severe pain. The goal is to restore mobility and eliminate pain. Dr. Bayram specializes in cementless techniques for a more natural bone-bonding fit.
The primary surgical option is a Cementless Hip Arthroplasty (total hip replacement). The surgeon removes the damaged joint surfaces. They then implant a new artificial joint without using bone cement. This procedure typically requires a 4-night hospital stay.
For more complex joint damage, a Complex Total Hip Arthroplasty is available. This involves advanced reconstruction techniques. It usually involves a 5-night stay in the hospital.
The surgical package is comprehensive. It generally includes the hip prosthesis, a ceramic insert, anesthesia, and all consultations. Hospital stay, translator services, and airport transfers are also part of the package. The total cost for surgery often runs between $11,800 and $14,000.
Patients can get a detailed diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan. They can discuss both non-surgical and surgical paths with an experienced specialist.
