About the Department of Adult and Pediatric Orthopedics, Trauma Surgery at Medical Park Gebze Hospital
The Department of Adult and Pediatric Orthopedics, Trauma Surgery at the Medical Park Gebze Hospital provides the highly accurate diagnostics and effective treatment of the full range of musculoskeletal diseases. The department's doctors also have extensive experience in the treatment of injuries, including highly severe ones. To achieve optimal results, the department cooperates closely with specialists in the field of physiotherapy and rehabilitation. Each clinical case is considered on an individual basis, due to which it is possible to achieve the best possible restoration of the patient's health and mobility. The Chief Physician is Assoc. Prof. Dr. med. Yunus Atıcı.
The department uses the most advanced equipment, innovative methods of diagnostics, treatment and rehabilitation, as well as the very latest high-tech materials. All this contributes to the high treatment success rates and the credibility of the medical facility in the national medical arena.
The department widely uses minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery to treat joint diseases. The interventions through small incisions in the skin and soft tissues shorten the process of postoperative recovery and increase the chances of success of the operation. In addition, the remaining scars are less visible after arthroscopy.
In the case of serious knee and hip lesions (infectious lesions, degenerative changes caused by fractures, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.), which cannot be treated with the help of drugs, the doctors often perform joint replacement surgery (joint replacement with an artificial one). The department uses only high-quality endoprostheses made by world leading manufacturers. When selecting an endoprosthesis, the department's specialists always take into account the individual characteristics of the patient (weight, age, degree of physical activity, concomitant diseases, etc.).
