Orthopedics and Traumatology

At Yeditepe University Hospitals Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation processes for musculoskeletal system problems are carried out by experienced specialists in this field. The department offers evaluation and treatment services for orthopedic issues encountered across different age groups.

What is Orthopedics and Traumatology?

Orthopedics and Traumatology is a medical field concerned with the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal system problems. In addition to various orthopedic issues seen in adults and children, injuries that occur in daily life or during sports are also evaluated within the scope of this field.
Joint injuries frequently encountered in daily life and sports can be addressed with modern arthroscopic surgical techniques. Not only in the knee but also in many joints such as the shoulder, ankle, elbow, hip, and wrist, injuries can be treated using completely closed arthroscopic surgical methods. These techniques allow patients to return to their daily lives in a short time, and in many cases, hospitalization is not required.

Which Treatment Methods Are Applied in Orthopedics and Traumatology?

Patients with arthrosis (osteoarthritis), which can be described as the aging of joints, can be treated with total joint replacement surgeries performed with robotic technology, special navigation systems, and computer assistance, enabling them to return to daily life very quickly.
Joint replacement surgeries, which are essential for pain-free living and freedom of movement—gaining even greater importance with extended life expectancy—are performed by experienced specialists using advanced technology.
At Yeditepe University Hospitals, cartilage transplantation can also be applied in cases of extensive cartilage damage where other treatment methods have failed. In this way, the development of severe osteoarthritis or the need for prosthesis at a younger age or later in life can be prevented, and joint health can be preserved.
Spinal fractures, infections, tumors, and congenital or acquired curvatures can also be successfully treated with modern surgical techniques.
