WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE TURKEY FOR ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY

Should you go to Turkey for Orthopedic Surgery?

Yes and Here is Why!

Orthopedics is a medical specialty (or branch of surgery) that deals with diseases of the musculoskeletal system. The word orthopedics comes from the Ancient Greek word *orthos* which means straight, right. The meaning of the word explains the basics of orthopedics and orthopedic surgeries. Doctors in this field are called orthopedic surgeons. Their goals are very different from other surgeons and this field is very difficult to master. An orthopedic surgeon can treat musculoskeletal trauma, spinal disorders, sports injuries, congenital disorders, and degenerative diseases.

As mentioned earlier, this specialty is very difficult for a doctor to master because the orthopedic field is full of major and crucial surgeries. The difficulty makes the doctors in this particular field much more expensive than the other doctors, especially if you are looking for surgery. This financial struggle makes hundreds of people sick, unhealthy, or in debt every year. The price of a hip replacement in the UK, US, or Israel is more than $30,000, which can be devastating for someone who does not have sufficient savings for a health problem. While it is more than 30,000 in those countries, the total cost of a hip replacement in Turkey is $10-15,000. This dramatic difference creates an industry called medical tourism. **If you want to know how medical tourism works in our clinic, you can also read this article!

Being financially affordable can be cited as the first reason for medical tourism. Yes, but this is not enough, we offer much more! In a country like Turkey, which is known worldwide for its medical choices, doctors work harder. Competition produces better clinics, better hospitals, and the best doctors. For example, the founder of our clinic, Burak Onvural, MD is a surgeon and works in his private clinic. His experience spans 3 continents. He has been to Germany to improve his laser surgery techniques and to the USA to learn from the masters of orthopedics. He is a member and instructor of the world’s largest global trauma and orthopedic community, AO Trauma. **This may sound unlikely to you, but Turkey is currently a home country for the best doctors**. Due to Turkey's population (over 80 million) and the nature of our health system, a surgeon can find a good opportunity to perform great amounts of different orthopedic surgeries, which brings great diversity as well as experience. In addition to that, there are likely 600.000 foreign patients who are coming to Turkey every year to seek solutions for their health issues, and this improves our surgeons' capability to perform surgeries on different ethnicities. So, it would not be wrong if we say that surgeons in Turkey are likely to be more experienced because of the quantity of their work. The quantity and experience bring out the quality. Therefore, a knee or hip replacement surgery, or aesthetic foot surgery in our clinic is not only cheaper but also of better quality. 

The other positive aspect of going abroad is that your "rest and recovery" will be planned and executed by our clinic staff. In our clinic, every step of the treatment is planned and determined. The treatment begins with the initial examinations of the patient and continues until the patient leaves our country. Therefore, the success rate of your surgeries is higher with us. This is because you do not have to go to the clinic to continue your post-operative exercises. Your physical therapist will come to you at the hospital and your hotel, during your stay. You will not be home alone and your children will not have to worry about your diet and exercise. We are responsible for everything while you are here. And you can even lengthen your aftercare with our telemedicine support package. This planning and professional scheduling will lead to success. Even your transfers (hotel-hospital-airport) will be scheduled once you have decided to come.

If you think %50 cheaper surgeries with world-class, well-trained surgeons, best quality hospitals, and a hotel stay as well as physical therapy sessions are good offers, then you should not hesitate to contact us.
