How Much Does Knee replacement Cost in Istanbul?

Knee replacement in Istanbul typically costs from $7,500 to $14,500. The final price depends on the surgery type, implant brand, and robot utilization. Patients save around 78% 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: $7,800 to $13,500 replacing one compartment.
  • Knee MAKOplasty: $13,500 to $19,500 for robotic-assisted precision mapping.
  • Revision knee arthroplasty: $12,500 to $24,500 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.

Data verified by Bookimed as of August 2026, based on patient requests and official quotes from 250 clinics worldwide. Median costs are based on real invoices (2025–2026) and updated monthly. Actual prices may vary.

If a friend asked me about this, I'd tell them the difference is night and day
If a friend asked me about this, I'd tell them the difference is night and day. My knee feels so much better than it did before the surgery, with much less pain. Of course, recovery isn't instant. The biggest challenge for me right now is some morning stiffness, but once I get moving it improves. The clinic staff and surgeon were professional and answered all my questions about the full replacement, which included the kneecap and a Smith & Nephew implant. I can already bend my knee past 90 degrees easily. It was the right decision.

The doctor is very competent, trustworthy, attentive, positive and charismatic
My father, 76 years old, had a knee replacement - Dr Olcay Guller. The doctor is very competent, trustworthy, attentive, positive and charismatic. This is important because my father was very worried and doubtful, but after the first meeting with the doctor he was completely reassured. All pre-operative investigations were organised quickly. Preparation for the operation and the operation itself - everything went smoothly. The next morning my dad was already walking along the corridor with the help of crutches. Nurses and nurses are attentive and friendly, no remarks. Feeding was also excellent, even a lot. I was placed in a spacious ward with a large window and air conditioning. In the bathroom everything is adapted for immobile patients, spacious barrier-free shower. On the territory of the hotel there are a couple of cafes with a good menu, Starbucks. The internet in the hospital is quite good.
All in all it was a pleasant experience. Would recommend the hospital with a clear conscience if needed
About Bookimed service
I don't know how long I would have searched for a hospital myself if I hadn't written to Bukimed. There was hardly any free time for this, and there were many doubts about the choice. With Bukimed everything unfolded quickly and in a couple of weeks my father was already seen by a doctor.
