The clinic treats 1,000+ patients every year from Europe, the USA, Australia, and the CIS region.

Diagnostics and evaluation

Before starting any procedure, patients undergo a thorough assessment to determine the level of joint damage. This helps Op. Dr. Erman Çekiç create an individualized holistic treatment plan. The diagnostic process includes:

• Physical examination. A manual check of joint movement and pain levels.
• Patient history review. A discussion of symptoms and previous injuries.
• X-ray imaging. Visual scans to see the condition of the bone and cartilage.

Surgical treatment options

For advanced arthrosis, surgery is often necessary to remove pain and help the patient walk again. The clinic uses modern prosthesis techniques for joint reconstruction.

• Knee replacement. This surgery costs around $9,000–$15,000 and replaces a damaged knee joint with a prosthesis.
• Hip replacement. This procedure typically runs $13,000–$18,000 and is used for advanced hip arthrosis.
• Knee arthroscopy. A minimally invasive method for diagnosing and treating joint damage, costing around $9,000–$13,000.

Non-surgical and regenerative therapy

The clinic provides several non-invasive methods to manage joint pain and support cartilage repair. These therapies can be used alone or to support recovery after surgery.

• PRP and ozonated PRP therapy. These injections use platelet-rich plasma to help repair cartilage and reduce inflammation.
• Electromagnetic (SIS) therapy. This uses high-intensity electromagnetic fields to relieve joint pain.
• Cryo Cabin therapy. Exposure to extreme cold between -100°C and -150°C helps reduce chronic inflammation.
• HILL therapy. High-intensity energy is applied to the joint to reduce swelling and promote tissue healing.
• Orthopedic rehabilitation. A program using AI-supported devices and manual therapy to strengthen muscles and improve mobility.

To further support joint health, patients can receive nutrition and dietetics consultations. Weight management is essential for arthrosis patients because it reduces the physical load on the knee and hip joints. Clinical Pilates sessions are also available to improve the core strength and joint range of motion. You can request a personalized treatment plan for arthrosis on Bookimed.
