The latest in orthopaedics and traumatology
Like other fields in medicine, orthopaedics has undergone rapid development in recent years. For patients, this means better diagnostic options and the avoidance of unnecessary procedures thanks to modern technology, innovative methods and minimally invasive operations when surgery is required, higher quality and longer life of implants and prostheses when it comes to their use.
Macoplasty for knee endoprosthesis
The so-called Macoplasty in knee arthroplasty is just one example of the developments in this field, and Prof. Dr. Erden Ertuerer is one of the first to apply it in Turkey. It is a robotic method recently introduced in the USA and Europe for knee surgeries. It allows patients to recover faster after surgery. In addition, the endoprostheses used in this method resemble the bone structure as much as possible and are anatomical. Thus, after endoprosthesis with macoplasty, the endoprosthetic joint develops full range of motion and maximum extensibility and stability. Compared to those operated by classical methods, the patients get up on their feet much earlier, can walk, run, even play sports quite calmly and without complaints.
