In our Orthopedics and Traumatology Departments, diseases that occur in the musculoskeletal system are treated by our specialist physicians using the latest technology devices. Body damage caused by injuries and accidents can be corrected by surgical interventions.
Arms, legs, spine and pelvis regions, or in other words, all joints, bones, muscles and related tissues (vessels, nerves, spinal cord) from the skull base to the nail tip are included in the field of orthopedics.
Diagnosis and Treatment Services in Orthopedics and Traumatology Department
We face trauma mostly with a surprise such as fall, sports injury, occupational accident or traffic accident. The damage ranges from a simple soft tissue injury to fragmented fractures of large bones depending on severity of trauma.
It is very crucial that the trauma patient is admitted and first interventions are made by a specialist.
Approaches and surgical techniques for treatment of fractures are continuously updated. The aim is to help patient return to daily life in shortest time possible without any problem.
