Our Ankle replacement Techniques: What Suits You Best?

When considering Ankle replacement, it’s important to understand the different techniques and which is best suited for you. Here’s a concise comparison of popular options:

Ankle joint replacement

Ankle joint replacement, also known as ankle arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure where a damaged ankle joint is replaced with a prosthetic ankle.

Pros: Provides better mobility and reduced pain compared to arthrodesis of the ankle joint. Approximately 90% of patients report significant pain relief and improved function post-surgery.
Cons: The lifespan of the artificial ankle is limited, sometimes requiring revision surgery in 10-15 years. Risk of infection and prosthetic loosening is higher compared to ankle arthroscopy.
Effectiveness: 90% success rate in improving pain and function.
Duration: 2-3 hours.
Recovery: 3-6 months.
Best for: Patients with severe arthritis or degenerative joint disease in the ankle. Suitable for individuals seeking improved mobility and pain relief.
Prices: Cost of Ankle joint replacement in Turkey from $4,000

Arthrodesis of the ankle joint

This procedure involves fusing the bones of the ankle joint to eliminate pain and improve stability in cases of severe arthritis or injury.

Pros: Offers a 90% success rate in pain reduction and improved stability. Long-lasting results without the need for future replacements, unlike total ankle replacement.
Cons: Limits ankle movement permanently, which can affect walking. Recovery time is longer compared to ankle arthroscopy, which is less invasive.
Effectiveness: Success rate of 90% in pain relief and stability.
Duration: 2-3 hours.
Recovery: 6-12 weeks.
Best for: Severe arthritis, degenerative joint disease, or significant ankle injury. Suitable for patients who do not benefit from ankle joint replacement.
Prices: Cost of Arthrodesis of the ankle joint in Turkey from $9,500

Ankle Arthroscopy

Ankle Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat problems in the ankle joint.

Pros: Minimally invasive with smaller incisions, leading to faster recovery and less scarring compared to ankle joint replacement and arthrodesis. Approximately 90% of patients report significant pain relief and improved function.
Cons: Limited to addressing specific issues within the joint and may not be suitable for severe arthritis or extensive joint damage. Approximately 10% of procedures may not fully resolve symptoms.
Effectiveness: Success rate of around 90% for improving joint function and reducing pain in targeted conditions.
Duration: 1 to 2 hours.
Recovery: 2 to 6 weeks.
Best for: Addressing cartilage damage, removing bone spurs, and treating ligament injuries within the ankle joint.
Prices: Cost of Ankle Arthroscopy in Turkey from $5,000

FAQ about Ankle replacement in Turkey

These FAQs come from real patients seeking medical assistance through Bookimed. Answers are given by experienced medical coordinators and trusted clinic representatives.

What is the level of medicine in Turkey?

Healthcare is the key development sector of the Turkish government. The Turkish authorities are convinced that care for the citizens' health should be an absolute priority of state policy and spend about 77 billion liras for healthcare annually.

As a result, 28,000 medical facilities provide excellent medical care in the country. About 50 centers have certificate of JCI (Joint Commission International), the international improver of healthcare quality and safety across the globe. The index of certificates obtained is the largest. To compare, Israel has 20 JCI-accredited facilities, and Germany — only 10 clinics of this type.

What hotel services are provided here?

In Turkey, hotels of different price ranges and service levels are presented. The level of Turkish hotels is comparable to hotels in Tunisia, Morocco or Egypt. Most tourists choose 4 and 5 star hotels with all-inclusive meals. Such hotels have everything for a comfortable stay: varied food, a large well-groomed territory, animation for children and adults. Some hotels have their own water park, which guests can use for free. Budget travelers can afford to book an economical 3-star hotel with half board or no meals at all.

When is the best time to travel to Turkey?

The main advantage of Turkish resorts is the long beach season. On the Mediterranean coast, it starts in April and lasts until November. In the resorts of the Aegean Sea — from May to October. The most comfortable time for swimming is from mid-June to the end of October. A large influx of tourists is in July-August, when the air temperature is +38°C, and the water warms up to +27°C.

Do I need a visa?

In 2020, the Republic of Turkey has visa-free agreements with 89 states. Some foreigners are exempted from obtaining entry visas, others are required to receive an electronic visa (e-Visa), and still others must apply for a visa at Turkish missions abroad.
