Orthopedics

The procedures performed in the Orthopedics and Traumatology unit are as follows:

 

Hand Surgery - Microsurgery: The part from the fingertip to the shoulder area enters the hand surgery area. Problems such as bone fractures, tendon-muscle ruptures, and nerve compressions that occur in the area between the hand and shoulder area are treated. Hand surgery is an area that needs to be pursued with patience, as it requires precise movements and coordination. In addition, hand surgery covers the treatment of hand deformities caused by polydactyly (6 fingers), carpal tunnel syndrome (nerve compression), syndactyly (adhesion of the fingers), and CP sequelae.

It can be equated with shortening the long leg or lengthening the short leg with the Ilirazov method. On the other hand, treatments for curvature, shortness, or soft tissue loss that occur as a result of the union in bone fractures can also be performed. In the Ilizarov method, the bones are fixed with hoops and thin wires, and controlled movement is provided to the bone pieces thanks to the added hinges and rods. 

Pediatric Surgery: Congenital hip dislocation, Perthes disease, clubfoot sequelae, Brachial plexus damage, gait disorders, Torticollis, foot problems, and spine disorders are treated. Oncological Surgery: Treatment of benign or malignant tumors that develop in an area of ​​the skeletal system such as muscle, bone, nerve, tendon, and the joint is performed. it is a chore.
