Orthopedics and Traumatology
Gebze
Orthopedics and Traumatology care in Gebze is available at 1 hospital in the Voumed network, with 3 related treatments.
Orthopedics and traumatology is the field that keeps the body moving, caring for the whole musculoskeletal system of bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and the nerves that serve them. It treats worn and arthritic joints, sports injuries, fractures and dislocations, spine and disc problems, hand and foot conditions, and the orthopedic conditions of childhood. The aim is always the same: to relieve pain and restore confident, full movement, whether through physiotherapy and minor procedures or major surgery such as joint replacement. Patients often travel abroad for this care because procedures like hip and knee replacement and arthroscopic surgery rely on experienced teams, modern implants and rehabilitation, and because they can combine a planned operation with a focused recovery before returning home.

Procedures
Technologies and equipment
EOS 3D Skeletal Imaging
EOS is a low-dose X-ray imaging system that captures the whole spine and the lower limbs in a single pass, while the patient stands naturally and bears their own weight. Two images, one from the front and one from the side, are taken at the same time, and from them the system builds a three-dimensional model of the skeleton. Because it images the body standing, it shows the skeleton in its real, load-bearing posture, which is especially important for assessing the spine and the legs. A key advantage is its very low radiation dose, much lower than standard digital X-ray, with a dedicated mode that reduces exposure even further in children.
O-Arm
The O-arm is an intraoperative imaging system that rotates a full circle around the patient to produce real-time, high-resolution cross-sectional images while surgery is underway. In effect it brings a mobile CT-style scanner into the operating room, so the surgeon can see the exact position of bone, instruments and implants at the moment they are being placed, rather than relying only on images taken before the operation. It is used mainly in spine, brain and nerve, and orthopaedic trauma surgery, where it gives precise guidance for critical steps and supports greater accuracy and safety.
3 Tesla MRI
3 Tesla MRI is a high-field magnetic resonance imaging scanner that produces exceptionally detailed pictures of the inside of the body. The "3 Tesla" refers to the strength of its magnet, which is about twice that of a standard MRI scanner, and this extra power allows sharper, higher-resolution images, often in less time. Like all MRI, it uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves rather than X-rays, so there is no ionising radiation involved. It is especially valuable for examining the brain, the nervous system, joints and soft tissues, helping doctors detect and characterise problems that may be hard to see on other scans.
Robotic Arm-Assisted Orthopedic Surgery
Robotic arm-assisted orthopedic surgery is a technology used mainly in knee and hip replacement to plan and carry out the operation with very high accuracy. A detailed three-dimensional plan is built from the patient's own CT scan, and during surgery a robotic arm guides the surgeon's instruments so that bone is prepared and the implant is positioned to that exact plan. The surgeon always holds and directs the instrument; the robotic arm adds steadiness and built-in limits that protect the surrounding tissue. The aim is a joint that fits and balances well, which can mean less pain and a smoother recovery.
