Diseases of the musculoskeletal system are the field of orthopedics and traumatology. Orthopedics, a word of Latin origin, is a combination of the words ortho and pedios. Ortho means “proper” and pedios means “child”. Traumatology, on the other hand, aims to restore the organs of the movement system that have suffered an accident to their former function.

Orthopedics and traumatology specialists deal with joint arthritis, sports injuries (anterior cruciate ligament, meniscus, tendon injuries, etc.), fractures, dislocations, sprains, shoulder problems (shoulder impingement, shoulder muscle tears, shoulder dislocations), hand and foot surgery, spine diseases (scoliosis, kyphosis, spine fractures).

Which diseases does the Orthopedics and Traumatology Unit treat?

Joint arthritis: With advancing age, the cartilage tissues that make up the joints begin to wear out. Calcification can be slowed down with non-surgical treatment methods, but it is not possible to stop it. Prosthetic surgery is inevitable when arthritis, which is usually seen in load-bearing joints, reaches an advanced level and restricts the comfort of life.

  • Knee arthritis
  • Hip arthritis
  • Shoulder arthritis

Sports injuries: Sports injuries usually involve problems with ligaments and tendons. Just because it is called a sports injury does not mean that it only occurs in athletes. For example, a meniscus tear can occur in a sporting event or in older people.

  • Anterior cruciate ligament
  • Meniscus
    Side tie
  • Achilles tendon

Spine diseases: Spine surgery is a specialty of orthopaedics. There are relatively few orthopaedic surgeons working with the spine. Specialized surgical techniques are used especially in the surgical treatment of scoliosis and spinal fractures.

  • Scoliosis
  • Kyphosis
  • Spine fractures

Fractures and dislocations: Disruption of the anatomical structure of the bone is called a fracture and separation from the joints is called a dislocation. The forces that create the fracture may damage the surrounding tissues, tendons, nerves and skin. Treatment methods vary depending on the type and location of the fracture.

  • Arm fracture
  • Wrist fracture
  • Ankle fracture

Knee cap diseases: Problems occurring in the kneecap, which has an important role in bending the knee and moving it in a healthy way, can cause intense pain.

  • Knee cap dislocation
  • Calcification of the knee cap
  • Knee cap tendonitis

Shoulder injuries: The shoulder is the most mobile joint of the body. It offers many advantages thanks to its ability to rotate, but this feature causes a lot of injuries to the shoulder joint. For example, a shoulder that dislocates once is likely to dislocate again. When shoulder impingement is left untreated, it can turn into a grave condition called frozen shoulder.

  • Shoulder impingement
  • Shoulder tear, rotator cuff tear
  • Recurrent shoulder dislocation
  • Dull shoulder

Hand surgery

  • Micro hand fractures
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Trigger finger
  • Hammer finger
  • Tennis elbow

Foot and ankle surgery:

  • Hallux valgus
  • Ingrown toenail
  • Morton’s neuroma
  • Heel spur

Pediatric orthopedics

  • Congenital hip dislocation
  • Flat insoles
  • Clubfoot
  • Perthes disease

Trauma surgery
