Prof. Dr. Ömer Faruk Bilgen, M.D., Orthopedics and Traumatology Specialist
Prof. Dr. Ömer Faruk Bilgen: Sometimes there will be a shortness, and we can overcome it. There can be hip dislocations. There can be one dislocation while the other is intact. For eliminate limpness, a surgery will be conducted, its’ length will be extended in order to equalize them. Or, both of them can be dislocated. These will be relocated. These are much harder surgeries, so naturally these should be precisely conducted.
Presenter: The doctors usually set the surgical interventions to the last place. They experiment various methods and examine patients as such. But, if the process begins in the knees and hips, when should they see a doctor so there should be no need to surgical interventions?
Prof. Dr. Ömer Faruk Bilgen: Now, it is a crucial question. In these cases a trauma is present. Normally, there will be no pain at the earlier stages. Normally there are no such grievances of pain in the hip joint or in the hip bone, knee joint when it got twisted. Either the patient works hard or got tired. I am telling the small symptoms that a lot of patient had. Maybe the patient had a long flight, then there may be some pain in the groin. As soon as the patient realizes these kind of pain, he/she should see a orthopedist immediately. In the groin sometimes we examine hernia, and this causes pain in the knee, hipbone or in ankles. These should be separated precisely. It happens to us, the patient arrives. Had hernia, had hip prosthesis. Or, has a hip disorder and got operated in the waistline. For these cases every part of the body should be examined. The most important parts of these process is exercising. The weight, its too bad to be overweight. Hence, exercising is the most important aspect of it. By exercising, the load that is carried by the joints will be transferred to the muscles. Therefore the load that the joint carries would be decreased. With the load decrease, there will be less cartilage abrasions. With less cartilage abrasions, pains would go away. So, exercise.
Presenter: We must exercise. So, Dr. Bilgen; our time has nearly closed in. Can you explain to us shortly, which kind of treatments made in Private Medicabil Hospital to orthopedic diseases? And, how may the patients appeal to you?

Orthopedics and Traumatology is our main field; spinal surgery, hipbone, knee twists, ankles, hip fractures, all of these will be treated at the top level in our hospital.
