How Much Does Bone Fracture Treatment Cost in Turkey in AUD?

Bone fracture treatment in Turkey typically costs between AUD $5,802 and AUD $10,880. Final pricing depends on the fracture location, the use of internal fixation such as plates or nails, and the hospital choice. Australians can save approximately 50% compared to domestic private costs, where treatment averages AUD $16,972. Standard surgical packages often include preoperative blood tests, orthopaedic consultations, and hospital stays.

  • Surgery for forearm fracture: AUD $2,031 to AUD $3,336.
  • Surgical realignment (ORIF): typically costs more than non-surgical casting due to specialised hardware and anaesthetic fees.
  • Closed intramedullary nailing: often attracts a premium for using minimally invasive techniques to stabilise long bones.
  • Complex reconstruction: treatment for comminuted or pelvic fractures can increase costs by 50-70% over simple fractures.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Choosing established hubs like Istanbul or Ankara provides access to JCI-accredited facilities with high trauma volumes. For complex cases, Memorial Şişli Hospital offers specialized packages for long bone surgery starting around A$11,900. Experts like Dr. Erman Cekic have performed over 10,000 procedures, ensuring high expertise levels. This volume of specialist care often results in efficient, fixed-price surgical arrangements for international patients.

Lokman Hekim Hospital left a profound impression on me with its genuine care for every patient
Lokman Hekim Hospital left a profound impression on me with its genuine care for every patient. Everything here is organized the way it should be in an ideal clinic: the staff is attentive, considerate, always ready to help, and does not just go through formal procedures. Unlike many expensive clinics, where everything feels cold and impersonal, where patients are treated almost like on a conveyor belt, here you truly feel involvement and empathy. Every step, every detail is thoughtfully planned with the patient in mind, creating a sense of safety and comfort. Here, they don’t just treat and send you away — they guide and support you at every stage, creating an atmosphere of trust and warmth. This approach makes the stay in the clinic as comfortable and reassuring as possible.
In short, my experience was simply amazing. I highly recommend Lokman Hekim among other Turkish clinics, in Istanbul and other cities, because everything here is truly top-notch. I have already shared more detailed impressions in other reviews, but in short — everything was perfect.

About Bookimed service
My experience with Bookimed was absolutely amazing. My sister even went with me to have blepharoplasty, and she immediately wanted to have her surgery at the same clinic where I had mine, because the plastic surgeon there was incredibly professional and outstanding. I can confidently recommend Bookimed to all my relatives, and I would gladly go again to this clinic and only to these doctors, because every specialist in the clinic is exceptional and excellent. Bookimed is truly an amazing platform. I am grateful that it exists because it is very important for people who cannot find the best doctors in their own countries. The platform helps to find the best options for each patient individually, offering different choices so that everyone can select what is optimal for them.

They all deserve top marks
Strange as it may sound, my overall rating is zero. That said, I can’t say a single bad word about either the surgeon or the clinic staff. They all deserve top marks. The doctor was very attentive and professional, and the support team did everything they could to help. The problem isn’t with the people. The problem is that the outcome of the consultation and what followed completely overshadowed all the positive impressions, leaving me in a very difficult situation during the recovery phase. The service was good, but the result was not.

Thanks to the successful operation, I started walking without a limp almost as soon as I tried doing so without crutches
Before the operation, I was most worried about a possible difference in leg length, but now they feel exactly the same. The operation was performed via an anterior approach using a Stryker implant. A huge thank you to the wonderful doctor, Professor Olcay Güler. He is always positive, a pleasure to talk to, and uses modern techniques as well as robotic surgery for procedures like this. Direct anterior access is the best option for those who want a faster and better recovery, and there are very few specialists who use this modern method. On the 7th day after the operation, I had already started walking without crutches, even though I hadn’t rushed my recovery; the doctors do recommend walking with crutches for two weeks. Thanks to the successful operation, I started walking without a limp almost as soon as I tried doing so without crutches. I should note that I deliberately didn’t walk with just one crutch; I used both, but walked with them using the Nordic walking technique with poles. I think this also helped me avoid limping straight away. If anyone needs joint replacement surgery, I highly recommend Professor Olcay Güler and the Memorial Şişli Clinic; a good doctor is the key to a successful return to normal life. And of course, a huge thank you to the Bookimed team and personally to coordinator Sergey, who patiently selected the clinic and doctor for me! In the early stages of recovery, the hardest thing for me is getting in and out of the car. A tip for future patients: prepare comfortable trousers without elastic at the bottom in advance, slip-on shoes, and a special device for putting on compression garments and socks – a butler or glider – will also come in very handy, but only if you’re doing everything without assistance.

There are no downsides, just one suggestion: to produce a short leaflet for the clinic’s patients setting out post-operative restrictions, initial exercises, and exercises for further rehabilitation six weeks later, when most restrictions will have been lifted.

The clinic facilities and the general staff were solid
If a friend asked about robotic knee replacement, I'd start with this: understand your whole body's situation first. For me, I’ve realized I need both hips revision, not just the knee, and that has a big impact on my overall progress. The clinic facilities and the general staff were solid. They were helpful. My main challenge is currently my walking distance. While the staff were supportive, my interactions with the surgeon felt a bit lacking, and I think that aspect could have been better. It’s a serious process with many moving parts to consider.

I am very satisfied with the choice of this clinic
At the Turan Turan Clinic, I had total hip replacement surgeries on both legs almost simultaneously, two days apart. The operation was categorised as complicated. From the very first days of my stay in the clinic until my discharge I was really surrounded by sincere care and attention of the doctor and medical staff and interpreter. I was placed in a very comfortable ward with everything I needed. The interpreter and assistant in the person of Eldar did not leave me a step and helped with translation, consulted, gave useful advice and literally led me by the hand to the doctors where I was examined, from the X-ray room to the anaesthesiologist before the operation. Preparation for the operation, collection of analyses, their study and consultation with doctor Kayhan Turan took little time. Everything went promptly. The surgery was performed by the head doctor Kayhan Turan himself, who has vast experience in orthopaedic surgeries. With his light hand and high level of professionalism, the two surgeries two days apart were very easy. Smith & Nephew prostheses were fitted. Both operations were performed under spinal anaesthesia, which in my case completely eliminated the unpleasant stage of coming out of anaesthesia. I was conscious during the operations. Subsequent rehabilitation took place in a hospital ward, where special medical simulators were used along with exercises to develop the joint and vessels. I am very satisfied with the choice of this clinic.

I had to do an operation of the fracture of my little finger that happened during vacation in the South of Turkey. The organization was supported by Alisher Durdiyev and was very quick and helpful, even during the late evening. The surgery could be organized very quickly, the doctor Levent Yalcin, one of the rare hand surgeons, was extremely good, could incorporate my wishes and I was back with my family very quickly. The teams of nurses and doctors in the hospital was very good. Thanks a lot to the great team!

In my situation, this care truly gave me hope again
I came to Istanbul for intensive medical care with a complex case involving multiple conditions. Thanks to Bookimed and my French-speaking coordinator Fidan and her colleague, everything was organized flawlessly. They truly went above and beyond, adapting my care to my evolving needs with great responsiveness and compassion. From the moment I arrived at Florence Nightingale Hospital, everything was handled with remarkable efficiency: I consulted 7 specialist professors in one day, followed by comprehensive tests (full-body MRI, CT scan, EMG, blood tests) over the next few days. In less than a week, I had a complete diagnosis and all treatments in place. The medical team is exceptionally professional — both highly skilled and genuinely caring. Each professor took the time to explain the results and treatment options. I now receive monthly follow-ups with my specialists. The service goes far beyond medical care: the hospital provides daily transportation for appointments, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation sessions. In France, I would have waited months just to get a first specialist appointment. Here, everything was done within days. I highly recommend Bookimed and Florence Nightingale Hospital without hesitation. In my situation, this care truly gave me hope again.

On top of that, the hospital provides daily transport for all my treatments: physiotherapy, rehabilitation, etc. An incredible service. Florence Nightingale is an excellent facility in every respect, both medically and humanly.
Apart from my visceral fear of needles, honestly, nothing. I even have a dedicated French-speaking coordinator. And a terrace café to enjoy a cappuccino in the sun inside the hospital. I have never been taken care of this well in my life.

I found the surgical staff and nurses in operating theatre to be extremely understanding and helpful. I was happy with the surgical procedure but would have liked a little more post-op feedback from the surgeon. Overall, though I was more than satisfied. Unfortunately the same cannot be said about the treatment which I received from the nursing staff, especially at night, although I subsequently found out that they are very short staffed while not having at least one English speaking nurse on duty day or night.
Procedure was very good on the day of surgery. Friendly and helpful medical coordinator Friendly nurses during the day. However there was not even one English speaking nurse during every day and every night. The only means of communicating was by phone translator which became tiresome and frustrating.
There needs to be better understanding between the nursing staff and patients. Despite best efforts it all became overwhelming and frustrating. I don’t know why but it was difficult to inform the staff that I was vegetarian. Twice I needed to change the capither myself - seemingly because nurses see it below their station so need to find a nursing assistant to empty the capither bag. To summarise - the medical coordinator was extremely helpful; the care and help by surgical staff and theatre nursing staff was very good. However the treatment from many of the nurses left something to be desired.

Doctors at the highest level
PLUSES Doctors at the highest level...professionalism, attention, responsibility felt during the whole stay...nothing unnecessary was said...no promises were made that could not be realised later...we were very satisfied with the results of their work.... Medical equipment may not be the latest models, but the penultimate certainly ... The food is very tasty... The facilities in the ward create a comfortable stay... The location of the clinic is good... Many hotels of different categories within walking distance..... MINUSES The medical staff and service staff (cleaning of the ward) wish to be better...the clinic needs a little more review of the process of care of medical staff for patients...at night when the patient before surgery or after surgery should gain strength and rest, begins frequent going to the room...then the temperature to measure, then the pressure, then remembering about the drip to connect the next or remove the forgotten.... Another disadvantage is the proposal-proform with an indication of what services are included in the paid amount, and which are not ... I would like a more specific list...taking into account that the treatment plan has changed, the amount to be paid has also changed, and there is always a question whether it is paid or whether it is necessary to pay additionally...which causes inconvenience and worries "whether you have enough money".... The general impression of the clinic was good...despite the disadvantages.....

It's now been about 1 1/2 months post surgery and I am pleased with the progress of my recovery. It seems that the implant and hip have aligned themselves nicely with the rest of the leg and foot . I can walk quite well. It seems that improving the strength in my leg will lead to greater recovery. I was pleasantly surprised by the professionalism , knowledge and concern of all people involved ; especially Booki Med med coordinator Dr. Olha who exhibited limitless patience and concern for my problems.

the full experience was so very nice to navigate
Considering that we were traveling into Istanbul late on Saturday night, my support member was still texting with me and the doctor on a Sunday so that I was able to see the doctor Monday morning and then booked into surgery the following day. That would not happen other places, and the full experience was so very nice to navigate!!
With the help of Bookimed getting me in touch with the best doctor for my needs, I cannot be happier with the result of my surgery. The whole process was so easy and everyone involved was so very kind and helpful.

FAQ about Bone Fracture Treatment in Turkey

These FAQs come from real patients seeking medical assistance through Bookimed. Answers are given by experienced medical coordinators and trusted clinic representatives.

Are Turkish orthopaedic surgeons qualified to treat complex bone fractures?

Turkish orthopaedic surgeons are highly qualified to treat complex bone fractures. Many hold European Board of Orthopaedics and Traumatology (EBOT) certification. They undergo rigorous training accredited by the Turkish Orthopaedics and Traumatology Training Council (TOTEK). Specialists frequently manage complex trauma, comminuted fractures, and deformities using robotic and minimally invasive techniques.

  • International training: Surgeons like Dr Kayhan Turan and Assoc. Prof. Erkam Komurcu completed fellowships at UCLA and Northwestern University.
  • Board certification: Practitioners often hold TOTEK or European Board (FEBOT) credentials for high surgical standards.
  • Advanced techniques: Clinics offer closed intramedullary nailing and percutaneous pinning under fluoroscopic guidance for precise alignment.
  • Expertise volume: Turkey treats over 32,800 patients annually for fractures, indicating massive clinical experience.
  • Specialised infrastructure: University hospitals like Lokman Hekim provide helipads for rapid emergency trauma transfers.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Turkish orthopaedic expertise often stems from high-volume trauma centres. Prof. Dr Olcay Guler and his team at Memorial Şişli Hospital handle massive caseloads of comminuted fractures. This repetition ensures surgeons are proficient in both open and closed nailing techniques. These surgeons often present research at international AO Trauma forums. This is a key indicator of their technical level.

Patient Consensus: Patients report that Turkish surgeons are well-trained in handling multiple fractures and sports-related trauma. Many suggest verifying a surgeon's specific traumatology residency. They also recommend reviewing previous complex case summaries before booking.

What surgical and non-surgical treatments for bone fractures are available in Turkey?

Turkey offers surgical and non-surgical treatments for bone fractures. These range from casting and splinting to robotic-assisted reconstructions. Specialised centres in Istanbul and Bursa provide minimally invasive pinning, intramedullary nailing, and external fixation. These JCI-accredited facilities treat emergency trauma and chronic non-union cases.

  • Non-surgical care: Manual realignment (closed reduction) followed by plaster casts, splints, or walking boots.
  • Surgical pinning: Percutaneous pinning under fluoroscopic guidance for stable fixation with minimal skin incisions.
  • Intramedullary nailing: Inserting titanium rods into long bones using open or closed techniques.
  • External fixation: External frames or circular fixators for complex open fractures and limb reconstruction.
  • Robotic surgery: Specialised systems at centres like Turan Turan Health Group for joint-involved fractures.

Bookimed Expert Insight: While basic casting is widely available, Turkey’s major hospitals have specialised trauma units. Prof. Dr. Olcay Guler at Memorial Şişli Hospital specialises in percutaneous pinning. This technique can significantly reduce scarring compared to traditional open surgery. Patients often save up to 77% compared to Australian private healthcare costs while accessing identical technology.

Patient Consensus: Stabilisation of displaced or joint-involved fractures requires an immediate orthopaedic review and hospital-based imaging. Turkish facilities provide comprehensive care from initial X-ray diagnosis through to rehabilitation and fracture clinic follow-up.

What should Australian patients expect regarding recovery time for bone fracture treatment in Turkey?

Bone fracture recovery in Turkey typically requires 6 to 12 weeks for standard bone healing. Major clinics in Istanbul and Bursa use techniques like intramedullary nailing and percutaneous pinning. These surgical approaches often allow patients to begin assisted weight-bearing within 48 to 72 hours. This process happens under specialist supervision.

  • Technique impact: Intramedullary nailing allows faster stabilisation than traditional casting and heavy immobilisation.
  • Hospital stay: Most surgical fracture treatments include same-day discharge or up to 2 nights.
  • Initial phase: First 14 days focus on pain management and protecting healing soft tissues.
  • Functional return: Upper limb injuries usually heal within 4 weeks while legs require 12+ weeks.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Turkish centres like Turan Turan Health Group lead in robotic-assisted orthopaedics. They have performed over 3,500 procedures. This volume is significant for Australians because high-volume robotic centres often achieve precise hardware placement. This precision can lead to a more predictable rehabilitation timeline and better joint function.

Patient Consensus: Recovery is a gradual process where patients highlight the importance of not rushing weight-bearing. Many found that following a structured physiotherapy plan in Turkey helped them regain mobility. Most regained most of their range of motion within the first six months.

Why do Australians consider Turkey a viable destination for bone fracture treatment?

Australians choose Turkey for bone fracture treatment to avoid long public surgery waitlists. It also avoids high private out-of-pocket costs. Turkey offers JCI-accredited hospitals and specialised trauma surgeons who perform thousands of procedures annually. These clinics use techniques like robotic-assisted surgery and percutaneous pinning for faster recovery.

  • Cost efficiency: Basic fracture treatment starts from $4,000, saving patients up to 77% compared to Australian averages.
  • Advanced techniques: Specialists perform percutaneous pinning, intramedullary nailing, and robotic-assisted surgeries for complex comminuted fractures.
  • Expert surgeons: Surgeons like Dr Kayhan Turan at Turan Turan Health Group have performed 3,500+ robotic procedures.
  • Accredited facilities: Major centres like Hisar Hospital Intercontinental hold JCI accreditation and serve 250,000+ patients annually.

Bookimed Expert Insight: While base surgical fees are lower, the real value is the intensive inpatient capacity. Hospitals like Memorial Şişli or Lokman Hekim Ankara maintain massive ICU and recovery wards. This allows for immediate post-op monitoring that is often limited in private Australian day-surgery clinics.

Patient Consensus: Lower surgical fees in Turkey help bypass private insurance gaps. Patients find that having reliable English-speaking coordinators makes the recovery much smoother. Planning a longer stay for initial rehabilitation also helps the process.
