In orthopaedics, deformity refers to deflection and misshapenness in the bones. Deformities are commonly seen in the arms and legs while they can also be accompanied by disorders of the spinal skeleton. Deformities are usually rooted in puberty, childhood, and adolescence and they are likely to affect daily life at later ages. Therefore, early diagnosis and […]

Whether due to health problems or aesthetic concerns, stature lengthening can be achieved through leg-lengthening surgery. Lengthening is an orthopaedic surgical procedure and it can be applied to legs as well as arms. The operation entails placing of external fixators to increase the space between the ends of the bones which are surgically cut with precision[…..]

The gradual abrasion and degeneration of the cartilaginous structures in the knee joint is called knee arthritis (or knee osteoarthritis). The cartilages, which are normally lubricious, become thinner and peeled off particularly due to age and excessive weight. Unnoticed or with no precautions taken, abrasion advances and results in full dissolution of the cartilaginous structures.[…..]

The world is developing and changing. This unstoppable change is felt at every stage of life. Fortunately, the medical world has its share. We believe that after a while there will be no untreated disease. Only 10 years ago when we go to see that no treatment can be cured today, the most important reason[…..]

Stem cells participate in healing processes in the body. When tissues are damaged, these cells get activated and enable the repair of the damaged structures by releasing growth factors. In addition, stem cells can also transform themselves into different tissue types such as muscles, bones, joint cartilages, and fats. There are two main types of[…..]

PRP treatment is the process of applying the product obtained from one’s own platelet cells to certain areas of the patient. PRP stands for platelet rich plasma. This means that the cells of the blood rich in healing factors are separated and injected into the body. It is used for cosmetic purposes such as skin[…..]

The fraying of the cartilaginous structures in the knee is called arthritis of the knee. If arthritis is mild, some non-surgical methods are considered. However, if arthritis is advanced having caused complete deterioration of the cartilages and significantly reduced comfort, a full knee replacement surgery is called for. In robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery, the surgeon performs[…..]

Prolotherapy is a regenerative treatment method that aims at restoring weakened, abraded, or damaged tendons, ligaments and joints are injected with proliferative and irritant solutions. The method initially relies on the revitalizing effect of proliferative solutions on cells and tissues as well as the irritating qualities of irritants. Once applied, these solutions trigger the naturally[…..]

Imaging and treatment of joints with small high definition cameras and lighting systems without the need for large incisions is known as arthroscopic surgery. Since arthroscopic operations require miniscule incisions of about 0.5cm only, they are categorized as minimally invasive interventions. With arthroscopy, patients recover and return to their normal routine more quickly after a[…..]

Arthroscopy is a closed surgery method that has been in use for a quarter century. It enables viewing and treatment of joint problems through miniscule pinholes of about a 0,5cm in diameter without the need for large incisions. The process involves penetration into the joint with the help of a tiny camera called the arthroscope[…..]
