Precision Diagnostics and Implant Planning
1. Expert Orthopaedic Consultation
A successful hip replacement begins with a detailed understanding of your specific joint anatomy and bone quality.
Your Consultation in Istanbul:
- Advanced Imaging: Utilizing digital weight-bearing X-rays and 3D CT scans to template the exact size and alignment of your new hip implants.
- Surgical Approach Discussion: Your surgeon will evaluate whether the Direct Anterior, Lateral, or Posterior approach is best suited to your anatomy and BMI to minimize muscle damage.
- Implant Selection: Discussing the use of premium cementless titanium stems and highly durable ceramic-on-ceramic or ceramic-on-polyethylene bearing surfaces.
Minimally Invasive and Highly Durable
2. Surgical Excellence in Hip Arthroplasty
Our surgical teams are highly experienced in performing high-volume primary and revision hip replacements using global premium brands like Zimmer Biomet and Stryker.
Advanced Surgical Options:
- Direct Anterior Approach: A tissue-sparing technique where the surgeon works between the muscles rather than cutting them. This often results in less immediate post-operative pain, faster early mobility, and a lower risk of dislocation.
- Cementless Fixation: The titanium implants are coated with a porous surface that encourages your natural bone to grow into the implant, creating a permanent, biological bond.
- Robotic-Assisted THR: Utilizing MAKO robotic arms to prepare the bone socket with sub-millimeter accuracy, ensuring perfect implant positioning and leg-length equality.
Walking on Day One
3. Rapid Rehabilitation and Recovery
Modern pain management and surgical techniques mean you won’t be bed-bound for long.
Recovery Milestones:
- Same-Day Mobilization: You will likely be assisted by a physiotherapist to stand and take your first steps using a walker on the very same day of your surgery.
- In-Patient Physio: Daily sessions in the hospital will teach you how to safely navigate stairs, get in and out of bed, and use the bathroom independently.
- Long-Term Success: By following the guided physical therapy plan, most patients return to driving within 4-6 weeks and enjoy a pain-free return to low-impact sports (swimming, cycling, golf) within a few months.
