With a practice focused on orthopedic oncology, we use up-to-date methods to diagnose and treat benign and malignant bone tumors (osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, chondrosarcoma, bone metastases). We provide comprehensive oncology care including biopsy, surgical resection, reconstructive surgery, and adjuvant therapies.
Prof. Dr. Yavuz Arıkan
I completed my medical degree at Karadeniz Technical University Faculty of Medicine (1997–2003), then specialized in orthopedics and traumatology with a focus on bone and soft-tissue tumors, trauma surgery, and limb-salvage surgery. Throughout my career I have worked at Şişli Hamidiye Etfal Training and Research Hospital, Baltalimanı Bone Diseases Training and Research Hospital, and Başakşehir Çam and Sakura City Hospital, building both academic and surgical experience. Drawing on knowledge gained in Turkey and abroad, I have practiced orthopedic and trauma surgery for more than 20 years and continue to offer patients scientific, up-to-date, and personalized treatment.
Comprehensive specialist care in bone health and orthopedics, designed to give you the best possible treatment
Orthopedics and Traumatology focuses on diseases of the musculoskeletal system. It is a rich specialty with many subspecialties and diagnostic and treatment methods.
Orthopedic oncology (also called musculoskeletal oncology) covers the evaluation and treatment of musculoskeletal tumors. Treatment depends on the tumor type.
A sample is taken from the mass with a thin needle under ultrasound or CT guidance and sent for pathology. If the result is malignant, treatment may include chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery — alone or in combination.
Bone cysts are fluid-filled areas inside bone that have not formed true bone tissue. They often need no treatment and may resolve on their own. The vast majority are benign.
