How Much Does Knee Arthroscopy Cost in Turkey?

Knee arthroscopy in Turkey typically costs from $1,800 to $3,200. The final price depends on the specific surgical goals, such as meniscus repair or ACL reconstruction, and the clinic's location in hubs like Istanbul, Ankara, or Bursa. Patients save around 75% compared to the US, where the average cost is $10,000. Standard packages often include surgeon fees, preoperative tests, blood work, and airport-clinic transfers.

  • Diagnostic arthroscopy: $1,800 to $3,200 for joint examination and minor cleaning.
  • Advanced cartilage debridement: Typically costs more, with specialized procedures reaching approximately $6,600.
  • Robotic-assisted techniques: Innovations like MAKOplasty can increase the investment by 50% or more.
  • Combined therapy packages: Options including stem cell therapy and manual rehabilitation often start around $17,500.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Choosing an Anadolu Medical Center specialist offers elite value. Their surgeons are Johns Hopkins affiliated and trained at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. While their arthroscopy runs about $6,200, patients access top-tier US medical protocols at a fraction of the cost. For those seeking efficiency, Lokman Hekim Istanbul Hospital provides specialized care for around $2,900, including transfers and hospitalization.

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.

FAQ about Knee Arthroscopy 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.
