Patient Testimonials
International Patient Reviews for Facial Aesthetic Surgery in Istanbul
“I chose scoliosis surgery in Istanbul with Op. Dr. Murat. Posterior fusion with neuromonitoring; up walking the next day. Rib hump reduced and posture finally straight.”
Sofia L.
Italy
“Our baby’s clubfoot was treated with the Ponseti method. Weekly casts, a tiny tenotomy, and brace guidance—feet look normal. Kind pediatric team.”
Ahmed R.
UAE
“Chronic instability—had ankle ligament reconstruction (Broström) + arthroscopy. Swelling settled quickly and I jogged by week 10. Great physio plan.”
Marco G.
Spain
“Medial knee pain from a meniscus root tear. Joint-preserving repair instead of removal—back to trail running in four months.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Spine deformities & scoliosis, pediatric orthopedics, foot & ankle surgery, joint reconstruction & orthopedic oncology, plus joint-preservation techniques (meniscus/root repair, cartilage restoration, osteotomy).
Patients with scoliosis/back pain, pediatric issues (clubfoot, hip dysplasia, limb deformity), ankle sprains/instability, bunion/flatfoot, cartilage or meniscus injuries, bone/soft-tissue tumors, or arthritis needing reconstruction.
Mild curves: observation/exercise; 20–40°: bracing during growth; progressive/large curves or symptomatic adults: posterior spinal fusion or selected growth-friendly options after detailed imaging and neuromonitoring planning.
Clubfoot (Ponseti casting/tenotomy), hip dysplasia (screening, bracing or reduction), limb deformities, fractures, and gait problems—family-centered care with growth follow-up.
Arthroscopy for impingement/OCD lesions, Broström ligament repair, Achilles repair, flatfoot reconstruction, and minimally invasive bunion surgery with rapid recovery protocols.
When cartilage/axis can be saved, we prefer meniscus/root repair, cartilage procedures (microfracture, grafts), or osteotomy. Replacement is reserved for end-stage arthritis or failed preservation.
Yes—biopsy planning, limb-sparing tumor surgery, curettage + graft/cement for benign lesions, and multidisciplinary oncologic care when needed.
Where safe, yes—arthroscopy and small-incision techniques to reduce pain, scarring, and hospital stay, combined with ERAS rehab pathways.
