14-year-old Kardelen Uzundere, living in Konya, applied to our hospital due to her spinal curvature problem and increasing pain. He was healed by surgery at the Orthopedics and Traumatology Clinic.
Our Orthopedics and Traumatology Specialist Opr. performed the surgery. Dr. Haluk YAKA; “Our patient was brought to our clinic due to "Kyphosis Disorder", also known as hunchback on his back. His family applied to our clinic due to increasing pain and the protrusion in his back. After the necessary examinations, we diagnosed that the patient had advanced kyphosis. In the last 2-3 years, his back protrusion and spinal curvature problems have increased even more. Since non-surgical treatments would no longer be beneficial, we prepared our patient for surgery and performed the surgery. After a successful surgery, we brought our patient's spinal curvature to normal angles. We will wait for the bones to fuse together, which we call fusion. Our patient now has a correct posture. He can walk and his pain is decreasing day by day. “We expect the pain to decrease further within 2-3 weeks.”
Our hospital's Orthopedics and Traumatology Clinic Specialist Assoc. Dr. Muhammet Zeki GÜLTEKİN said; “Our clinic has been serving as a “Training Clinic” since September 2022. We perform many advanced surgeries in our clinic. "Spine Surgery" is performed successfully at Konya City Hospital. "As Orthopedics and Traumatology Clinic, we have a successful team that does this," he said.
