Diagnosis and Treatment Services in Orthopedics and Traumatology Department

We face trauma mostly with a surprise such as fall, sports injury, occupational accident or traffic accident. The damage ranges from a simple soft tissue injury to fragmented fractures of large bones depending on severity of trauma.

It is very crucial that the trauma patient is admitted and first interventions are made by a specialist.

Approaches and surgical techniques for treatment of fractures are continuously updated. The aim is to help patient return to daily life in shortest time possible without any problem.
