The knee replacement can be expressed that changing the joint surfaces with an implant because the knee joints were damaged for any reason. It replaces depending on the conditions of the patients and it can be applied in the range between 50-80 ages. The joint surfaces are changed with the implant and through this operation, the aim is a higher quality of life for the patient is having.
Read MoreContrary to total knee prosthesis, only one region of the knee joint changes. It is a surgery that has highly good consequences on selected patient groups.
Read MoreIn our hip, the femur bone is like a knob and this knob sits in a suitable groove in the pelvis. If the anatomic structure of this joint is disrupted, the patients feel pain in their hip and their quality of life reduces. Generally, the conditions in that hip replacement surgery are performed are the cases such as calcification that renders the hip joint dysfunctional related to various reasons, death of the hip bone head called avascular necrosis, hip joint fractures, rheumatological diseases and hip dislocation sequelae and the joints are replaced.
Read MoreThis is a deformity which originated from curvature and soft tissue disorders on the metatarsal (foot bone).In this deformity, the first toe gets above 2nd.toe, and generally, this disease is known as a 'bunion'. Having difficulty with wearing shoes and pain on the side of the foot are among the most known symptoms of it. In cases where the shoulder joint degenerates due to various reasons, pain occurs, shoulder movements are restricted and the quality of life decreases. With shoulder prosthesis, joint surfaces are replaced with implants and a better quality of life is provided.
Read MoreScoliosis can be defined as the curvature of the spine. Generally, it is noticed at puberty. There are surgery, exercise and course choices for its treatment. The treatment of scoliosis changes depending on the level of curvature. If the curvature is over 40 degrees, the patient is suggested to have an operation mostly.

Read MoreThe shoulder joint is the most joint that is having a connection to the muscle, as a consequence, many muscle ruptures can be seen. Generally, Rotator Cuff Ruptures are noticed with shoulder impingement syndrome. The solution can be found for shoulder issues through arthroscopic methods.
Read MoreThe ankle joints can be replaced with both joint surfaces due to deformations of their surfaces related to any reason. Previously, freezing (arthrodesis) was applied to severely deformed joints. After this procedure, the movements of the ankle joint would be prevented. However, technological developments in the last 20 years have made great strides in ankle prostheses. Better results are being achieved with ankle prostheses today.
Read MoreGenerally, elbow prosthesis surgery is applied for patients who couldn’t have fractures repaired after a fracture or couldn’t move their elbows as they used to after it was healed. The most used prosthesis is the elbow prosthesis after the hip, knee and shoulder. The aim is to provide a prosthesis that painless and with no problem moving for a patient.

The stem cell can apply to almost all the joints of the body in diseases related to orthopaedic. As well as applied to the knee joint frequently, and apply to the hip, shoulder and ankle joints. In this way, it would be given a chance for the tissues that cannot have healing qualifications.

Today, the ligament can be taken from another region of the body and placed in the anterior cruciate ligament. In this way, the knee has its original structure. Generally, the meniscus ruptures accompany anterior cruciate ligament injuries. For this reason, it is a necessity that detailed examination and visualisation methods. It would be given a healing chance for the injured tissues.
