## Program overview

This is a plan for people in the US who are researching joint replacement, arthroscopy, ACL repair, or other orthopedic procedures in Turkey. Because mobility, imaging review, and rehabilitation matter as much as the surgery itself, we start with coordination — records, travel windows, recovery-friendly stays — not assumptions about which procedure you need.

Our job is helping you compare partner hospital pathways and handle travel once the surgeon accepts your case. We don't decide whether surgery is necessary, pick the implant, or give rehab advice. That's the orthopedic surgeon's job.

For most people, the value of coordination is logistics: a recovery-friendly hotel, transfers that account for limited mobility, companion planning, and a realistic view of how the inpatient stay and early follow-up will run. Outcomes depend on your case, the procedure, and how recovery goes.

## Why Turkey for this program

Turkey is a popular destination for orthopedic care because many partner hospitals combine high-volume surgical teams, modern imaging, inpatient support, and on-site rehabilitation in one international-patient workflow. That usually makes it easier to fit surgery and early recovery into a single planned stay.

## Key considerations

- Robotic-assisted joint replacement
- Minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques
- Comprehensive physiotherapy coordination
- Premium implant materials (titanium, ceramic)
- JCI-accredited surgical facilities

## Who this program is for

- Knee & hip replacement
- ACL & meniscus repair
- Spinal disc surgery
- Sports injury rehabilitation

## How the coordination works

1. **US-Based Consultation Call:** We get on a call with you to talk about the kind of orthopedic issue you're considering — while being clear that whether surgery is right for you is the partner surgeon's call.
2. **Partner Hospital Comparison:** You get a side-by-side look at our partner hospitals — their teams, typical stay lengths, and how they handle surgery, inpatient care, and rehabilitation — so you can pick the one that feels right to you.
3. **Orthopedic Review:** The partner surgeon reviews your imaging and history and decides whether joint replacement, arthroscopy, another procedure, or no surgery is right for you. This is their call — Astramedica steps out of this part.
4. **Travel & Mobility Planning:** Once you're accepted, we book your flights, arrange airport pickups, reserve a recovery-friendly hotel, and plan the trip with attention to mobility, companion support, and inpatient timing.
5. **Surgery & Return Journey:** The partner hospital performs the procedure and handles your aftercare and early rehab. We handle discharge logistics, the return flight, and any remote follow-up.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does Astramedica decide whether I need orthopedic surgery?

No. The partner orthopedic surgeon reviews your imaging and history and decides whether surgery is right for you.

### How long do people usually stay in Turkey for orthopedic surgery?

It depends on the procedure and the recovery plan. Most orthopedic stays are longer than aesthetic or screening trips because mobility and early follow-up need closer attention.

### Is rehab included in every plan?

Rehab support varies by hospital and procedure. The partner hospital explains what's included after the surgeon reviews your case.

### Can I travel with a companion?

Most orthopedic patients do, especially for joint replacement or anything that limits mobility. We coordinate the travel logistics around that.
