What you need to know about Orthopedics in Turkey

A branch of medicine concerned with the correction of deformities of bones or muscles. Orthopaedic surgeons use both surgical and non-surgical means to treat musculoskeletal (bones, muscles, joints, tendons and ligaments) trauma, spine diseases, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, tumours and congenital disorders.

Many of these surgeries can be carried out using Keyhole Surgery, therefore causing minimal scarring.
