What is Orthopedics and Traumatology?
Orthopedics is a branch of medicine that deals with musculoskeletal system diseases and their treatment. The root of the word pedi in the word orthopedics refers to the ancient Greek term foot. These musculoskeletal diseases include the arms, which we call the upper extremities, and the legs, which we call the lower extremities. Shoulders, hips, cervical spine, thoracic spine and lumbar spine are important areas of interest to the orthopedics and traumatology department. The department of orthopedics and traumatology is not a branch that only deals with bones. In this regard, the most common wrong applications to our clinic are jaw, nose, head and rib traumas. Orthopedics and traumatology are branches that examine and treat diseases related to the musculoskeletal and nervous system, which mostly concern the extremities.

In fracture, dislocation and trauma surgery, there are plaster and splint applications, plate and screw fixation methods, nail surgeries in long bones, and in severe trauma, there are fixator methods that we call external fixator, where we fix with iron rods installed from outside. There are surgery options called prosthesis surgery and arthroplasty for joint calcification. The most common types of surgery we perform are knee prosthesis, hip prosthesis and shoulder prosthesis for joint calcification. Shoulder muscle tears, shoulder dislocations, and shoulder arthritis can be treated arthroscopically. Similarly, knee anterior cruciate ligament injuries, meniscus tears, and cartilage damage are the diseases we treat most frequently arthroscopically. Small cartilage damage, that is, chondral damage, in the ankle can be treated with the arthroscopic microfracture method. With hip arthroscopy, diseases such as labrum tears, capsule tears and hip impingement syndrome can be treated with high success. Diseases such as spinal curvatures, scoliosis and kyphosis are other important diseases treated by orthopedics and traumatology. Surgical and non-surgical treatment options are available. Some of our treatment areas include gait disorders in children, instep, flat feet, hip dislocation and other congenital extremity diseases.
