Our areas of expertise and treatment

Not every orthopedic complaint has the same cause. Age, activity level, trauma history, imaging findings and daily-life expectations are evaluated together.

Knee Conditions & Surgery

Meniscus tears, cruciate ligament injuries, cartilage problems, knee osteoarthritis and post-replacement issues are evaluated.

Shoulder Conditions

Rotator cuff tears, shoulder impingement, dislocation, frozen shoulder and sports-related shoulder problems are addressed.

Hip Conditions

Hip pain, hip osteoarthritis, impingement syndromes and replacement assessments are planned individually.

Foot & Ankle

Ankle sprains, fractures, Achilles tendon injuries, cartilage lesions and sports injuries are evaluated.

A Treatment Decision Is Not Made by Imaging Alone

MRI or X-ray findings matter; but a correct treatment plan cannot be built without evaluating them together with the patient’s complaint, examination, lifestyle and expectations.

1. Clinical Assessment

The location, duration, relation to movement and impact on daily life are assessed in detail.

2. Imaging & Diagnosis

X-ray, MRI, CT or existing reports are interpreted together with the complaint.

3. Treatment Plan

Non-surgical treatments, physiotherapy, injection options or the need for surgery are planned individually.

4. Follow-up & Rehabilitation

Recovery after treatment is monitored with goals of range of motion, muscle strength and return to daily life.

Clinical Evaluation, Appropriate Treatment Options, Regular Follow-up

The goal is not merely to give a diagnostic label, but to explain the source of the problem clearly and evaluate suitable treatment options realistically.

Personalized Assessment

The same MRI finding means different things in different patients; assessment is individual.

Science-Based Approach

Clinical experience supported by national and international scientific publications.

Transparent Information

The source of the problem and treatment options are explained clearly.

Post-Treatment Follow-up

Recovery is monitored with goals of range of motion, muscle strength and return to daily life.

Common questions about the orthopedic assessment process.

Answers to the most common questions

Below you can find answers to frequently asked questions about orthopedic assessment, diagnosis and treatment.

No. MRI findings must be evaluated together with the patient’s complaint, examination findings and loss of function.

Bringing your existing MRI, X-ray and reports to your appointment helps the assessment. A definitive evaluation is made with examination and necessary tests.

You can request a preliminary assessment by sharing your existing reports and images. This prepares for examination and treatment planning.

If pain affects daily life, or there is swelling, locking, giving-way or inability to bear weight after trauma, an orthopedic assessment is advised.

This decision depends on the degree of curvature, the patient’s age, growth potential and risk of progression.

Some sprains heal quickly; but recurrent sprains, marked swelling, inability to bear weight or instability require evaluation for ligament injury.
