Arthroplasty surgery at Memorial Hospital Turkey provides world-class treatment for patients with joint damage, degenerative arthritis, trauma-related injuries, and mobility-limiting conditions. Using advanced prosthetic implants, minimally invasive arthroscopy, and modern ligament, tendon and cartilage repair techniques, Memorial offers comprehensive solutions to restore joint function and quality of life. International patients from the U.S., Canada, Europe and the Middle East benefit from leading orthopedic surgeons, cutting-edge technology, and faster recovery pathways tailored to each individual’s goals.
🩺 What Is Arthroplasty Surgery (Joint Prosthesis)?
Arthroplasty, commonly known as joint prosthesis surgery. It is a procedure that reshapes, repairs or replaces a joint that has lost its function due to degeneration, injury or disease.
Over time, joints can become severely worn, leading to pain, instability and limited mobility. Arthroplasty restores smooth movement by resurfacing damaged areas or replacing them with artificial implants made from durable materials such as titanium, ceramic or polyethylene.
Modern arthroplasty often incorporates arthroscopic techniques using fiber-optic devices that allow surgeons to visualize and treat the inside of the joint through small incisions. These minimally invasive methods reduce pain, minimize scarring, and speed up recovery.
Whether performed on the knee, shoulder, hip, hand or ankle, arthroplasty brings life-changing benefits to patients whose daily activities are restricted by joint dysfunction.
🩺 Types of Arthroplasty & Joint Preservation Procedures
- Minimally Invasive Arthroscopy :
- Visual assessment of joint damage using fiber-optic cameras
- Small incisions, minimal pain and rapid healing
- Diagnostic and therapeutic use for cartilage tears, loose bodies, and inflammation
- Ligament, Tendon & Meniscus Operations :
- Repair of ligament tears (ACL/PCL), meniscal injuries, tendon damage
- Stabilizing procedures for joint support and mobility
- Ideal for athletes and active individuals
- Joint Replacement (Prosthesis) Procedures :
- Knee arthroplasty (partial or total replacement)
- Hip joint replacement with modern prosthetics
- Shoulder joint replacement (anatomic or reverse prosthesis)
- Durable implants designed for long-term functionality
- Cartilage Restoration & Transplantation :
- Techniques to repair or replace damaged cartilage
- Suitable for early-stage arthritis or focal defects
- Comprehensive Orthopedic Care :
- Collaboration between orthopedics, physical therapy and trauma specialists
- Treatment for congenital and acquired musculoskeletal conditions
- Personalized surgical and non-surgical management plans
🩺 Who Is a Good Candidate?
Candidates for arthroplasty or joint prosthesis surgery typically include individuals who have chronic joint pain, reduced mobility, or structural joint damage that does not respond to conservative treatment. A detailed orthopedic evaluation helps determine whether arthroscopy, resurfacing or full joint replacement is the most appropriate option :
✔️ Individuals with severe joint degeneration due to osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis
✔️ Patients with chronic pain or stiffness impacting daily activities
✔️ Those with ligament, cartilage or meniscus injuries requiring surgical correction
✔️ People who did not improve with physical therapy, injections or medications
✔️ Athletes with recurrent joint instability or mechanical symptoms
✔️ Patients with traumatic joint injuries or congenital abnormalities
✔️ Individuals looking for minimally invasive solutions like arthroscopy
✔️ International patients seeking advanced orthopedic care at an affordable cost
Overall, patients who struggle with persistent joint pain, structural joint damage, or mobility limitations that have not improved with conservative therapy benefit greatly from arthroplasty. A specialist evaluation ensures the right approach—whether arthroscopy, joint repair, or full prosthesis—is chosen for long-term mobility and pain relief.
📝 Consultation & Preparation
A comprehensive pre-operative evaluation ensures that each patient receives an individualized treatment plan. The orthopedic team at Memorial assesses joint structure, movement, and surrounding tissue health while determining whether arthroscopy or prosthetic replacement is needed :
✔️ Detailed physical examination and medical history review
✔️ MRI, X-ray or CT imaging to evaluate joint condition
✔️ Discussion of arthroscopy, joint repair or replacement options
✔️ Customized surgical planning based on joint type and severity
✔️ Preoperative clearance including blood tests and anesthesia evaluation
✔️ Guidance on medication adjustments before surgery
✔️ Explanation of implant types, recovery expectations and rehabilitation needs
✔️ International patient coordination for appointments, travel and logistics
🩺 Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery from arthroplasty or arthroscopy focuses on reducing pain, regaining joint mobility, and returning to normal daily function. Memorial Hospital provides structured rehabilitation programs and continuous follow-up to ensure successful healing and long-term joint performance :
✔️ Early mobilization within hours after minimally invasive arthroscopy
✔️ Walking assistance and gradual weight-bearing after joint replacement
✔️ Customized physiotherapy to rebuild strength and improve mobility
✔️ Pain management and swelling control strategies
✔️ Use of dissolvable stitches that require no removal
✔️ Return to driving typically within 3–7 days depending on the surgery
