Orthopedics and Traumatology
Orthopedics and Traumatology is a branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of diseases of the musculoskeletal system. The Orthopedics and Traumatology department of Private Jimer Hospital offers services with modern technologies and expert physician staff for the treatment of injuries and diseases of muscles, joints, bones, tendons, ligaments and nerves. Orthopedics and traumatology deals with a wide range of diseases from sports injuries to congenital anomalies, from degenerative joint diseases to fractures.
What Diseases Does the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology Deal With?
The Orthopedics and Traumatology department deals with the diagnosis and treatment of many different disorders affecting the musculoskeletal system. The most common orthopedic diseases and problems are as follows:
- **Fractures and Dislocations**: Bone fractures and joint dislocations occur as a result of trauma and may require emergency intervention. Casts, splints and surgical methods are used in the treatment of fractures and dislocations.
- **Joint Diseases (Arthrosis and Arthritis)**: Calcification (arthrosis) and inflammatory rheumatism (arthritis) seen in the knee, hip, shoulder and other joints cause joint pain and limited movement. Drug therapy, physical therapy and, when necessary, prosthetic surgery are applied in the treatment of these diseases.
- **Sports Injuries**: Ligament, tendon and muscle injuries that occur during sports activities are among the conditions frequently encountered by the orthopedics and traumatology department. Problems such as meniscus tears, anterior cruciate ligament injuries and Achilles tendon injuries are treated with surgical and physical therapy methods.
- **Spinal Diseases**: Lumbar and cervical disc herniations, spinal curvatures (scoliosis) and spinal fractures fall within the scope of orthopedics and traumatology. Medication, physical therapy and surgical methods are used in the treatment of spinal diseases.
- **Congenital Anomalies**: Congenital hip dislocation, pes equinovarus (clubfoot) and other congenital musculoskeletal system anomalies are conditions that require early diagnosis and treatment. Casting, orthosis and surgical methods can be applied in the treatment of these anomalies.
- **Tendinitis and Bursitis**: Tendon inflammation (tendonitis) and inflammation of the fluid sacs around the joint (bursitis) are conditions that cause pain and limited movement in the musculoskeletal system. Treatment may include medication, rest and physical therapy methods.
- **Prosthesis Surgery**: In patients experiencing limited movement and pain due to joint calcification, joint function is regained with hip and knee prosthesis surgeries. Prosthetic surgery is performed to improve the quality of life.
Diagnostic and Therapeutic Methods Applied in Orthopedics and Traumatology
In the department of orthopedics and traumatology, many different methods are used in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal diseases. Private Jimer Hospital offers the best health service to our patients with modern imaging devices and advanced surgical techniques:
- **X-Ray and MRI Imaging**: X-ray and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging methods are used in the diagnosis of bone fractures, dislocations and soft tissue injuries. These methods are helpful in determining the degree of disease or injury.
- **Computed Tomography (CT)**: Computerized tomography is used in the detailed evaluation of fractures and joint problems. CT is especially important in the diagnosis of complex fractures and spinal injuries.
- **Arthroscopy**: Arthroscopy, used in the diagnosis and treatment of intra-articular problems, is a minimally invasive surgical method. Torn and damaged tissues can be repaired with arthroscopy in the knee, shoulder and hip joints.
- **Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation**: In the treatment of orthopedic diseases, physical therapy and rehabilitation are as important as surgical interventions. Physical therapy is applied to increase muscle strength, provide joint mobility and reduce pain.
- **Use of Prosthesis and Orthosis**: Prostheses and orthoses are used in the treatment of joint problems. Prosthetics help restore the function of damaged joints, while orthoses are used to support joints and muscles.
Recommendations for Maintaining Orthopedic Health
It is important to take some precautions to protect the health of the musculoskeletal system and prevent orthopedic problems. Here are some suggestions to protect your orthopedic health:
- **Regular Exercise**: Regular exercise is very important to protect the health of the musculoskeletal system. Low-impact exercises such as walking, swimming and cycling help strengthen muscles and joints.
- **Balanced Nutrition**: A diet rich in calcium and vitamin D helps protect bone health. Foods such as dairy products, green leafy vegetables and fish are beneficial for bone health.
- **Posture and Ergonomics**: Taking correct posture and ergonomic precautions in daily life is important to protect the health of the spine. Especially those who work at a desk should pay attention to the correct sitting position.
- **Protection from Trauma**: It is important to use appropriate equipment and move carefully to protect from trauma during sports or daily activities. Doing warm-up exercises during sports can help prevent muscle injuries.
