Treatment Overviews

Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy (CP) is characterized by movement and posture disorders caused by brain damage occurring during infancy or early childhood.

Cerebral Palsy

Hip Dislocation

Congenital hip dislocation (DHF) is the inability of the hip joint to fit properly into its socket in babies. If diagnosed early, it can be treated without surgery, and if it is late, it can be treated with surgery.

Hip Dislocation

deformity

Limb deformities in children are bone curvatures and lengths in the arms or legs. It can be corrected non-surgically or surgically with early pediatric orthopedic follow-up.

deformity

Tibial Hemimelia

Tibial hemimelia is a rare deformity characterized by the partial or complete absence of the tibia from birth. It is treated with early childhood orthopedic surgery.

Tibial Hemimelia

Fibular Hemimelia

Fibular hemimelia is an anomaly characterized by partial or complete absence of the congenital shin bone (fibula), leading to short legs and foot deformities.

Fibular Hemimelia

Proximal Femoral Focal Deficiency (PFFD)

Proximal Femoral Focal Deficiency is an anomaly characterized by congenital underdevelopment of the upper part of the femur, causing leg shortness and hip instability.

Proximal Femoral Focal Deficiency (PFFD)

Other Congenital Anomalies

Congenital muscular and skeletal anomalies are babies being born with structural defects in their hands, feet or spine. It is successfully treated with pediatric orthopedic follow-up.

Treatment Overviews

Prosthetic Surgery

Other prosthetic surgery; It is the treatment of damage caused by arthritis and trauma in joints such as shoulders, elbows and ankles with artificial joints.

Prosthetic Surgery

Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy is a closed, comfortable surgical method in which joint diseases are diagnosed and treated by entering through small incisions with camera systems.

Arthroscopy

scoliosis

Scoliosis is a three-dimensional curvature of the spine greater than 10 degrees to the right or left. With early diagnosis, it can be treated with corset and in advanced stages with surgery.

scoliosis

Hand Surgery

Hand surgery; It is the treatment of tendon, nerve, vessel and bone damage in the hand, wrist and arm with microsurgical methods to prevent loss of function.

Hand Surgery

Tumor Surgery

Orthopedic tumor surgery; It is the process of surgically removing benign or malignant masses formed in bones, muscles and joints while preserving limb functions.

Frequently Asked Questions

You can get information about surgery, recovery, physical therapy, sports injuries and prosthetic surgeries by clicking on the headings below.

In children, the appearance of bracketed legs (O legs) until the age of 2, and the appearance of X legs where the knees hit each other at the ages of 3-4, is mostly a natural part of growth and disappears on its own. However, if the curvature is present in only one leg, if it increases instead of decreasing as the child grows, and if it frequently falls while walking, this may be a sign of bone development disorder (deformity), not physiological. In cases of asymmetrical and significant curvatures, an examination by a pediatric orthopedist is required without delay.

The ideal hip ultrasound (GKY scan) time for your baby is between the 4th and 6th weeks after birth. In hip deficiencies diagnosed early within the first 6 months, over 95% full recovery is achieved without surgery, thanks to the Pavlik bandage or special orthoses that keep the legs in the correct position. However, if the diagnosis is made after the 6th month, casting or surgery is on the agenda.

The ability of a child with Cerebral Palsy to walk depends on the degree of damage to the brain and the correct treatment. Many children with mild to moderate spasticity can walk independently or with assistive devices, thanks to proper physical therapy and pediatric orthopedic surgery when necessary. These surgeries do not completely eliminate the damage (disease) in the brain, but they increase the child's mobility by preventing muscle stiffness from damaging the bone and joint structure.

Yes, thanks to today's modern pediatric orthopedic methods, limb salvage and functional walking can be achieved in the majority of these children. Depending on the condition of bone deficiency, leg lengthening surgeries and joint correction operations are performed with computer-aided fixators. In very severe and unextendable cases, limb-sparing surgeries (amputation) and modern prosthetic applications are performed before the child reaches walking age, allowing the child to run and play like his peers.

Swimming and general back exercises strengthen muscles and support posture, but they alone do not completely correct the structural spinal curvature (Cobb angle). If your child's growth process continues and the spinal curvature is between 20 and 40 degrees, it is mandatory to apply corset treatment under the supervision of a pediatric orthopedist to stop the progression of the curvature and protect the child from surgery.

For carpal tunnel and trigger finger disorders, we first try non-surgical methods such as medication, resting splints or injections. However, if you have severe pain that does not go away despite these treatments, permanent numbness in your fingers, locking, and especially wasting (loss of strength) in the hand muscles, it is necessary to undergo hand surgery to prevent permanent damage to the nerves and tendons.

In today's modern orthopedic oncology surgery, more than 90-95% of malignant bone and soft tissue tumors are treated without amputating the leg or arm. Thanks to Limb Preserving Surgery techniques, advanced chemotherapy drugs and high-tech tumor prostheses, tumorous bone tissue is safely removed, the limb is completely protected and the patient's mobility is maintained.
