One of the body's most important joints, the knee is made up of three bones: the femur, tibia, and patella. These bones articulate in harmony thanks to a system of ligaments that provide stability. Unfortunately, osteoarthritis can weaken this complex mechanism, leading to chronic pain and reduced mobility.
With medical treatment sometimes ineffective, knee replacement surgery in Turkey offers an alternative solution.

Total knee replacement is a surgical procedure to replace a knee joint damaged by osteoarthritis with a metal, plastic, or ceramic prosthesis.
This solution is designed for people over the age of 60 who suffer from acute and persistent pain.
The decision to have a knee replacement is made in consultation with your orthopedic surgeon. He or she will assess the severity of your osteoarthritis and discuss the different types of prostheses available and their suitability for you.
The main four types of fixed bearing implants in knee replacement surgery are:
There are several types of joint knee replacement as well as different surgical methods. Your doctor and an orthopedic surgeon should help you choose the best option for you. They take into account the condition of your knee and your general health.
In Turkey, the decision to fit a prosthesis and the choice of the most appropriate type of implant is made jointly by the orthopedic surgeon and the patient. Our partner surgeons will explain the benefits and risks associated with each type of procedure.
After a thorough examination, the surgeon will assess the severity of the osteoarthritis and discuss the various options with the patient, taking into account his or her needs and lifestyle.
The choice of the most appropriate knee surgery depends on a number of factors, including:
The patient has to execute range of motion exercises of knee strengthening as recommended daily by the physical therapist. Before the surgery is done, pre-operative tests are done as follows:
Preoperative reeducation is an important step of the treatment. It may slightly decrease anxiety before knee replacement surgery.
Weight loss surgery before a knee replacement surgery does not seem to improve the results.
Knee replacement surgery is a major procedure. The patient must be well-prepared and follow strict postoperative instructions to optimize results and maximize quality of life.
The knee prosthesis fitting process includes:
Postoperative complications of knee replacement surgery often include pain, stiffness, infection, or fracture. However, the risk of death is extremely rare.
Risks and complications in this surgery are similar to those associated with all joint and tibial component substitutions. The most severe complication is the infection of the joint, which rarely occurs (in 1% of reported cases).
Deep vein thrombosis is more common, yet still rare (only 15% of reported cases). Nerve injuries seem to occur in only 2% of reported cases. Persistent pain or inelasticity seems to happen in 8% of cases.
The rejection of metal and plastic in the prosthesis happens in only 2% of patients after 5 postoperative years.
There is an increased risk of complications in overweight patients undergoing total knee replacement surgery. The doctor would recommend that the overweight patient loses weight before the surgery. If he is medically eligible, the patient would probably benefit from weight loss surgery.
Breaking or chipping of the polyethylene rotating platform between the femoral and tibial elements may be of concern. These pieces may get lodged in the knee and cause unbearable pain or may migrate to other zones of the body.
Advancements in implant design have greatly decreased these problems. However, the potential fear is still present over the lifespan of the knee prosthesis.
Postoperative complications of knee replacements (medium to long term) include:
After an average stay of 4 to 6 weeks in the clinic, the patient must return periodically for rehabilitation. This rehabilitation, which often lasts 3 weeks, allows the patient to resume daily activities. Convalescence after knee replacement surgery is at least one month. Depending on several factors, such as the postoperative course and the patient's age, the patient is entitled to at least 3 months off work.
During the first few weeks, it is essential to use crutches and avoid prolonged bed rest, as the mobility of the knee may be affected.
The first 2–3 weeks are used to allow the stitches to heal and the muscles to regain their tone.
In fact, you must do the exercises that you were taught during your hospital stay as well as possible, as instructed by the physiotherapist.
The price of a knee prosthesis varies according to the patient's age and the clinic where he or she will undergo the procedure in Turkey. Knee replacement surgery costs around $10 600 in our partner clinics in Turkey. This price includes :
