What Are Orthopedics and Traumatology?
Orthopedics is the branch of medicine concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders of the muscles, skeleton, joints, and spine.
Traumatology covers the surgical or medical treatment of problems that occur after trauma, such as fractures, dislocations, and muscle and ligament injuries.
Orthopedic centers in Turkey achieve world-class success rates in both non-surgical treatments and advanced surgical operations.
