When hip or knee pain begins to rule your life — and medication and injections no longer help — joint replacement restores mobility and a pain-free life. Anadolu’s Orthopaedics and Traumatology centre performs these operations routinely using modern implants from leading global manufacturers.
The hospital applies an enhanced recovery protocol (ERAS): getting up and taking your first steps on the first day after surgery, with a personalised rehabilitation programme and the support of a physiotherapist.
Treatment methods at Anadolu
Total hip replacement
Replacement of the damaged joint with an implant, using a muscle-sparing approach — for stability and a natural feeling when walking.
Total knee replacement
Precise implant positioning and personalised ligament balancing; in cases of limited arthritis, a partial (unicompartmental) knee replacement is also possible.
Revision surgery
Replacement of previous worn or unstable prostheses — using specialised revision systems.
Rapid rehabilitation (ERAS)
Multimodal pain control, early mobilisation and a targeted exercise programme — most patients walk with an aid from the first day.
Treatment of sports injuries
Knee and shoulder arthroscopy, ligament reconstruction and treatment of cartilage injuries — for patients who do not yet need a joint replacement.

Frequently asked questions — joint replacement (arthroplasty)
When is it time for a joint replacement?
When pain limits daily life and no longer responds to conservative treatment, and imaging shows advanced arthritis. Send your X-ray — the orthopaedic surgeon will assess the indication free of charge.
How long does a joint replacement last?
Modern implants last 20 to 25 years or even longer. Correct positioning and rehabilitation are crucial to the longevity of the prosthesis.
How long are the hospital stay and recovery?
At the hospital, 5 to 7 days; walking with crutches from the first day, and without crutches generally after 3 to 4 weeks (knee) or 4 to 6 weeks (hip).
Can both knees be operated on at the same time?
In eligible patients, it is possible to replace both sides during the same hospital stay or in two stages — the decision is made by the orthopaedic surgeon according to your general condition.
How much does joint replacement cost in Turkey?
With the same implants, it is considerably cheaper than in Western Europe. After an assessment of your imaging, you will receive a precise quote before you travel — free of charge.
