The hip is a ball-and-socket joint; arthritis wears the cartilage lining both parts until every step becomes painful. The surgeon removes the damaged femoral head, prepares the socket and fits a cup with a low-friction liner, then anchors a stem carrying a new ball inside the thigh bone. Muscle-sparing approaches shorten the time to walking, and patients are usually up with crutches the day after surgery. Full comfort returns over two to three months as the surrounding muscles rebuild strength.
Turkey combines high surgical volume with lower running costs, which is why the same materials and devices used in Western Europe cost a fraction here. Swedish Clinic works inside a licensed full-fledged hospital under a Health Tourism Authorisation Certificate, holds Temos international accreditation and runs an ISO 9001 (UKAS) certified management system — the three things worth checking before you book anywhere abroad.

Missing teeth affected my daily life for years. From the first exam my doctor’s care and expertise made me feel safe at every stage.

One year on and nobody can tell. The hairline they designed suits my face — it does not look transplanted.

I wanted my nose softened, not replaced. The surgeon showed me the simulation and the result is exactly that.

Fourteen months on and I am 38 kilos lighter. The dietitian called me every single month — that made the difference.

Everyone was so smiley and welcoming from the moment I landed. Istanbul is beautiful and the service was first class.

Clean, modern hospital and a team that answered every message within minutes. I already recommended them to two friends.
🇷🇴 RomaniaUsually the day after surgery, with crutches or a frame and a physiotherapist beside you. Managing a flight of stairs is one of the checks we make before clearing you to travel home.
Modern ceramic and cross-linked polyethylene bearings are expected to serve for decades, but nothing is guaranteed for life. Weight, activity level and bone quality all affect it, and your surgeon will be specific about your own case rather than quoting an average.
Implant choice, the surgical approach and the length of hospital stay all change the total. We prefer to send a written all-inclusive quote once the surgeon has reviewed your imaging, instead of advertising a number that may not match your plan.
We recommend one. You will be mobile but slower for the first week, and a companion makes hotel life easier. VIP transfers and a translator at every appointment cover the rest of the practical side.
