About the clinic

Treatment for a shoulder ligament tear at Optimed International Hospital in Tekirdag, Turkey, involves a choice between non-invasive therapy and advanced surgery. Diagnostics at the hospital typically run $100 for an X-ray, $250 for an MRI, and around $550 for a CT scan. This AACI-accredited facility specializes in orthopedics and offers a one-day diagnostic service for international patients.

Diagnostic options for shoulder injuries

The hospital uses a one-day service to evaluate joint damage quickly. High-tesla MRI and multi-slice CT scanners provide clear images of the ligaments. Patients receive results fast to start their treatment plan without delay.

Chest X-ray. This basic imaging may cost around $100 and helps rule out other bone issues.
MRI of one area. Typically costing around $250, this is the main tool for seeing ligament tears.
CT (computer tomography). This scan costs around $600 and provides a detailed view of the joint structure.

Non-surgical treatment methods

If the tear is not complete, the orthopedics team recommends conservative care. These methods focus on reducing pain and helping the tissue heal naturally. Most of these options are done as an outpatient service.

Conservative treatment. This includes medication and specialized exercise programs to strengthen the shoulder.
Injections. Doctors use cortisone or PRP (platelet-rich plasma) to lower inflammation.
Supportive care. Patients may use an orthosis or brace to keep the joint stable during recovery.

Surgical procedures

When the damage is severe, the hospital performs specialized surgeries to restore movement. The choice of surgery depends on the age of the patient and the extent of the rupture.

Arthroscopic shoulder surgery. This minimally invasive method uses small cameras and tools. It allows for a precise repair of the ligaments with a faster recovery. Most patients stay only one night or leave the same day.
Shoulder prosthetic surgery. This open surgery is for extreme cases where the joint is heavily damaged. It replaces the joint with a prosthesis to bring back function. This procedure usually requires a 2-3 night hospital stay.

If you're thinking about this, my main piece of advice is to be mentally ready for the procedure, as it can be overwhelming. I’m in early recovery from my breast reduction and lift, and I am feeling better than expected. My surgeon was great; he was honest about what results were realistic for my body and clearly explained all the risks, which gave me confidence. The clinic team was easy to reach and stayed in touch. Do be aware of some additional expenses – I had a prescription that cost extra at the pharmacy. A few practical tips: bring a spare compression garment, cotton t-shirts to wear underneath it, and your own snacks. Also, having my mum with me has been pivotal to my recovery, so I'd suggest bringing a companion if you can.

The co-ordinator at Bookimed, Winnington was brilliant. No matter how many questions I had he was able to answer them promptly and with one small hiccup from the hospital Winnington went out of his way to try and package a new procedure for me. My co-ordinator Eyyub at Optimed hospital was outstanding. The hospital was great, the staff on my floor were fantastic. We used goggle translate when the co-ordinator wasn’t with us if we came up against a language barrier but that was not very often. I was cared for before and after my surgery by the nursing staff who could not do enough for myself and my mum. I 10000000% recommend Bookimed & Optimed hospital

Post op instructions could be better. I have suggested to them to put together a general guide of what to do and not to do and for however long. What’s normal and if something doesn’t feel right who to contact etc. I think this will greatly help international patients and help the hospital co-ordinators from being hounded with a load of questions from several patients all at once. Peace of mind for the patient and a little more support for the co-ordinator. The food is catered for Turkish patients and can be hard for international patients to eat. Again, I have suggested to them to try having a small box of fibrous cereal available at breakfast time and instead of a full meal at lunch time something simple like sandwiches or rolls/bagels/baked goods. Dinner was usually ok and we were able to eat most of that but our daytime diet is a little less than they were providing and there was a lot of food waste which they could minimise & use the money elsewhere if there was a cater to international patients diets.
