How Much Does Knee replacement Cost in Istanbul?

Knee replacement in Istanbul typically costs from $6,000 to $12,800. The final price depends on the surgery type, implant brand, and robot utilization. Patients save around 79% compared to the US, where this procedure costs $45,000 on average. Inclusions generally cover the prosthesis, preoperative tests, surgical fees, hospital stay, and VIP airport-to-clinic transfers.

  • Unicompartmental (partial) knee replacement: from $9,000 replacing one compartment.
  • Knee MAKOplasty: from $12,000 for robotic-assisted precision mapping.
  • Revision knee arthroplasty: from $14,000 for correcting previous surgery.
  • Premium implant materials: Choosing high-longevity brands like Stryker or Zimmer Biomet typically increases package costs by 10-15%.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Istanbul is Turkey's hub for complex joint reconstructions, hosting more specialized orthopedic centers than any other city. High value is found in clinics that bundle premium hardware into the price. For example, Büyük Anadolu Hospitals provides all-inclusive packages with Stryker implants and 14 days of combined hospital and hotel care at competitive rates. Look for FEBOT-certified surgeons at VM Medical Park to ensure European-standard expertise.
