In 2001, he started his career in a private hospital in Pendik as a specialist in orthopedics and traumatology. Subsequently, he was appointed as the chief physician at the same hospital and worked as a specialist in orthopaedics and traumatology. Later, Dr. Cengiz Çabukoğlu left the private hospital in Pendik for specialization. From 2012 to 2018, he worked as a specialist in orthopedics and traumatology in a private hospital.

Specialty:
- Paediatric orthopaedics (paediatric orthopaedics)
- Orthopedic interventions in cerebral palsy:
Up to 5 years of age:
- Application of Botox when necessary
- If there are disorders in the bones and joints, surgery can be performed according to the results of the examinations and radiography.
After 5 years of age:
- Soft tissue relaxation surgeries - muscle and tendon lengthening
- Tendon transfer- correcting muscle imbalances through tendon transfer
- Osteotomy - fixing a bone in the desired position
- Dislocation surgeries- surgeries for radial dislocation of the head of the hip and elbow

As soon as the baby is born, treatment begins. In the treatment, plaster bandages are made according to the Ponseti method. In this way, a passive stretching is performed on the soft tissues (skin, ligament, capsule, ray, muscle), which are shortened in the posterior and internal part, as well as in the arch of the foot.
Thus, the plaster bandage is made 5 to 8 times, changing it once a week. If the calcaneus bone is not lowered to the level of the base of the foot after casting with a cast (it varies according to the tissue tension in patients), a small surgical intervention is performed under anesthesia and the heel is lowered to where it should be. This intervention is necessary in most cases.
Ponseti's device is subsequently used to prevent the legs from returning to the starting position. Stretching exercises are also continued daily.
In case of return of the foot to the starting position, the intervention must be repeated.
Therefore, the child should be examined periodically (even when treatment is over) as the child grows.
