COMMON TREATMENTS

-Arthroplasty / Prosthesis: It is an effective application especially in knee and hip joint arthritis in patients who cannot achieve sufficient relief and improvement with non-surgical treatments.
-Fracture fixation: In fractures that require surgery, fractures are sometimes fixed with intra- and sometimes extra-osseous fixation methods.
-Soft tissue problems: In tendon and muscle problems, recovery can be achieved with smart serum / plasma (prp) treatments and surgeries depending on the location.
-Nerve compression Carpal tunnel syndrome, guyon’s canal syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome and similar nerve compression conditions are successfully treated with release surgeries.
Injection treatments for intra-articular and diseased areas (knee arthritis, tendon diseases, heel spurs, tennis elbow etc.)
-Corrective surgeries: Deformity of the big toe (hallux valgus), hammer toe deformities etc.
