About the clinic
Medipol Mega University Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey offers a complete range of services for meniscus tear. The initial consultation with an orthopedist typically costs around $120, while an MRI scan for the knee is about $350. Arthroscopic meniscus repair surgery costs around $3,500 and includes one day of hospitalization. The clinic's main approach uses advanced arthroscopic techniques to repair the meniscus rather than removing it.
Diagnostics for a Meniscus Tear
An accurate diagnosis starts the treatment process. Medipol Mega provides several key diagnostic options:
- Orthopedic Consultation: The first step is an examination by a specialist like Surg. Merdan Artuç, M.D. This consultation may cost around $300.
- MRI Scan: This imaging is essential to see the soft tissues of the knee. An MRI of the knee or spine is around $350.
- CT Scan: A CT scan may be used in some cases and costs around $400.
- Physical Examination: The doctor will assess the knee's stability, range of motion, and pain points.
Treatment Options
The primary treatment is minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery. It uses small incisions for faster healing and less scarring. The goal is to preserve the meniscus and its function. The JCI-accredited hospital has 35 operating rooms and uses the latest surgical technology.
Available treatment packages include:
- Arthroscopic Meniscus Repair: This specific treatment package typically costs around $3,500. It includes the surgery, anesthesia, one day of hospitalization, and pre/post-operative care.
- Arthroscopy: This keyhole surgery can be both diagnostic and therapeutic. The cost typically runs between $5,000 and $10,000 depending on the complexity. The procedure itself is included, but diagnostics and extended stays are separate.
Patient Care at Medipol Mega
Surg. Merdan Artuç, M.D. is the primary treating doctor for these procedures. The hospital supports international patients with services like airport transfers. Treatment success depends on the tear's type and location, with reported success rates between 70% and 95%. Recovering from arthroscopy usually involves one to two days in the hospital.
To explore this treatment pathway, you can request a consultation to discuss your specific diagnosis and a personalized cost estimate.
