What is Orthopedics and Traumatology?
The Orthopedics and Traumatology department is a branch of science that deals with musculoskeletal injuries caused by trauma, such as traffic accidents, sports injuries, and falls. In addition to this, diseases affecting the musculoskeletal system without any trauma also fall within the scope of orthopedics. Examples of such conditions include nerve compressions like carpal tunnel syndrome, cartilage damage in joints, joint osteoarthritis, and musculoskeletal tumors.

Orthopedics and Traumatology Department Diagnosis and Treatment Services
In our Orthopedics and Traumatology department, diseases developing in the musculoskeletal system are diagnosed and treated using state-of-the-art technological devices. After the specialist doctor conducts the orthopedic examination, the diagnostic techniques used are determined based on the patient's general condition. These techniques include:
- Computed Tomography (CT)
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
- X-ray
- Doppler Ultrasonography
- Bone Scanning
- Electromyography (EMG)
- Blood Tests
Once the diagnosis is made through these tests ordered by the specialist doctor, appropriate treatment methods are applied. Depending on the case, surgical procedures, as well as interventions like drug injections, PRP, and stem cell therapy, are provided at our hospital.
