Repetitive movements, prolonged physical exertion and certain work habits can cause various problems in the muscles, tendons and nerves. Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs as a result of compression of the median nerve in the wrist area and is accompanied by numbness, tingling, pain and, in some cases, muscle weakness in the fingers.

As a result of falls, sports activities, sudden movements and physical exertion, ligaments may become strained or torn, while tendons may suffer partial or complete tears. These injuries may manifest as pain, swelling, bruising, limited movement and impaired joint stability.

Strains, ligament and tendon tears, soft tissue injuries and simple fractures occurring in these areas are among the main treatment areas of traumatology and orthopedics. Injuries can make daily movements difficult and cause pain and temporary functional limitation.

Radiography is an imaging examination used to assess the condition of bones and joints. This method helps detect fractures, dislocations, bone deformities and certain changes occurring in the joints.

Ultrasound examination enables the imaging of soft tissues and certain joint structures using sound waves. It is used to investigate muscle and tendon injuries, changes in ligaments, fluid accumulation around joints and other pathologies in soft tissues.

Depending on the patient's complaints, initial examination results and suspected diagnosis, additional diagnostic examinations may be performed. Computed tomography (CT) enables more detailed imaging of bone and joint structures, while magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows the assessment of ligaments, tendons, menisci, muscles and other soft tissues. Bone densitometry (DEXA) is used to measure bone mineral density, assess osteoporosis and determine the risk of fractures.

Joint problems such as arthritis and arthrosis may be accompanied by pain, stiffness, swelling and limited movement. The aim of initial treatment is to reduce pain, preserve joint function and minimize the impact of the disease on daily life.Treatment may include medications appropriate to the patient's condition, physiotherapy, therapeutic exercises, lifestyle changes and, in some cases, intra-articular injections.

Excess body weight can increase the load placed particularly on the knee and hip joints. Maintaining a healthy weight and a properly selected physical activity program help reduce the load on the joints, strengthen the muscles and preserve mobility. The physical activity program is prepared according to the patient's age, health condition, pain level and physical capabilities.

In certain cases, local injections may be administered to reduce pain and inflammation in the joints and soft tissue areas. The type and site of injection are selected according to the diagnosis, the patient's general condition and the treatment goal. Pain management may be carried out together with medication, physiotherapy, regulation of physical activity and other non-surgical methods.

The primary goal in the treatment of bone fractures is to restore the bone fragments to their correct anatomical position, stabilize them, and ensure the healing process. Depending on the type of fracture and the degree of displacement, closed reduction, casting and other immobilization methods, or surgical fixation may be applied.

Hand surgery encompasses the treatment of traumatic injuries to the hand, wrist and fingers, nerve and tendon problems, bone fractures, and certain chronic conditions. This field may involve tendon and nerve repair, fracture fixation, decompression of nerve compression in carpal tunnel syndrome, and other reconstructive procedures.

Arthroplasty is a surgical method used to treat pain and limited mobility caused by severe joint damage, advanced osteoarthritis, and other conditions. During the operation, the damaged joint surfaces are replaced with special artificial prosthetic components.

Pediatric orthopedics deals with the diagnosis and treatment of congenital and acquired bone, joint and limb deformities and conditions in children. These problems may include congenital hip dysplasia, foot deformities, limb length discrepancies, and certain bone growth disorders.
