How Much Does Arthrodesis Elbow Cost in Maltepe?
What Affects the Cost of Arthrodesis Elbow?
Two patients rarely pay the same amount. These are the variables that move your final bill up or down in Maltepe.
Hospital category
Accredited multi-speciality and quaternary-care hospitals price higher than mid-tier facilities, infrastructure and outcomes differ too.
Surgeon's experience
Senior specialists who perform this procedure frequently command higher professional fees, and typically shorter, safer recoveries.
Room category
General ward, twin-sharing, private, and suite rooms carry different nightly tariffs, and most other charges scale with the room class.
Implants, devices & consumables
Where the procedure uses implants or specialised consumables, the brand and grade chosen can change the bill significantly.
Length of stay & ICU time
Each extra night, especially in ICU, adds room, nursing, and monitoring charges beyond the quoted package.
Diagnostics & post-operative care
Pre-surgery work-up, imaging, lab tests, physiotherapy, and follow-up consultations vary with your overall health and recovery.

About Arthrodesis Elbow
Key Highlights
Who Is This Surgery For?
- Severe, debilitating osteoarthritis or post-traumatic arthritis unresponsive to conservative care.
- Chronic elbow instability or recurrent dislocations.
- Failed previous elbow surgeries, such as total elbow arthroplasty.
- Neuromuscular conditions (e.g., cerebral palsy, brachial plexus palsy) causing a flail or uncontrollable elbow.
- Septic arthritis or tuberculosis that has destroyed the joint.
- Significant joint destruction from conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).
- Nonunion or malunion of a complex elbow fracture.
- Tumor resection requiring removal of the joint.
How to Prepare
- Comprehensive evaluation including medical history, physical exam, and imaging (X-rays, CT scan).
- Discussion of goals, expectations, and the permanent loss of elbow motion.
- Pre-operative blood tests and medical clearance, especially for underlying conditions.
- Possible consultation with a physical or occupational therapist to plan for post-surgery adaptation.
- Discontinuation of certain medications (e.g., blood thinners) as advised by the surgeon.
- Fasting for 8-12 hours before the scheduled surgery time.
- Arranging for help at home during the initial recovery period.
Risks & Possible Complications
- Infection at the surgical site.
- Bleeding or hematoma formation.
- Nerve or blood vessel injury, potentially affecting hand function or sensation.
- Nonunion (failure of the bones to fuse), requiring additional surgery.
- Malunion (bones fusing in an incorrect position).
- Hardware irritation, pain, or failure, possibly requiring removal.
- Persistent pain or complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE).
- Stiffness in the shoulder, wrist, or hand.
- Overuse or strain injuries in adjacent joints over time.
Recovery & Hospital Stay
- Hospital stay of 1-3 days for pain management and initial monitoring.
- Arm placed in a long arm cast or splint for 6-12 weeks to protect the fusion.
- Strict elevation of the arm to control swelling.
- Pain medication and antibiotics as prescribed.
- No weight-bearing or stress on the fused elbow until the surgeon confirms healing on X-rays.
- Gradual transition to a removable brace once initial healing is stable.
- Early focus on gentle motion of the shoulder, wrist, and fingers to prevent stiffness.
- Occupational therapy to adapt to the fused elbow and learn new techniques for daily tasks.
- Follow-up X-rays at regular intervals to monitor bone fusion.
- Full recovery and return to most activities (excluding those requiring elbow bending) may take 4-6 months.
- Typical hospital stay: 2-3 days
- Expected recovery time: 4-6 months for full bone healing and adaptation

Recent Patient Comments
“Finally someone who listens”
“Knee pain troubled me for two years. Two other doctors just told me to take rest but nothing changed. Dr Chavan looked at the scan and explained the meniscus tear properly. He showed me the rehab exercises. Already feeling better now. Finally someone who listens to what I say.”
