An appropriate autograft using the patient’s own tissue is selected individually, considering the patient’s anatomy, activity level, sporting goals and previous surgery. The surgical technique, length of hospital stay, recommended time in Istanbul, and rehabilitation plan are confirmed after clinical assessment and review of the patient’s imaging.
Complimentary complication insurance valued at €150, with limited tourist health-related benefits, is included. Follow-up visits after hospital discharge are free until departure from Istanbul.

How are we doing?
About the clinic
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is available at Dr. Gemalmaz - 3D Patient-Specific Orthopedics in Istanbul, Turkey. The procedure may cost around $5000 USD and uses autologous hamstring grafts with 3D-printed surgical guides for precision. This clinic is the first and only center in Turkey specializing in 3D patient-specific orthopedic surgery.
About the Procedure
ACL reconstruction repairs the torn ligament in the knee. The clinic uses autologous hamstring tendons for the graft. This method avoids foreign materials and reduces rejection risks. The surgery takes about 1-2 hours under general anesthesia.
Unique 3D Technology
The clinic creates custom 3D-printed surgical guides for each patient. These guides ensure precise placement of the new ligament. The process starts with a CT scan of the knee. A 3D model is then made to plan the surgery. This technology improves accuracy and reduces complications.
Package Includes
- Surgery with autologous hamstring graft
- All necessary implants and materials
- Hospital fees for 5 days
- Surgeon fees
- Airport transfers
