Limb Lengthening Surgery: Who is it Suitable For and What are the Risks?
27 March 2026Prof. Dr. Sinan Kahraman, a specialist in orthopedics and traumatology, has extensive experience particularly in hip and knee replacement surgeries. These procedures are effective treatment methods used when joint damage becomes severe and significantly affects the patient’s quality of daily life. In this article, we will подробно discuss who is suitable for hip and knee replacement surgeries and how the surgical process progresses.
Who Is Suitable for Hip and Knee Replacement Surgery?
Hip and knee replacement surgeries are generally preferred in the following conditions:
- Advanced osteoarthritis: When joint cartilage is worn down, causing severe pain and limited mobility.
- Rheumatoid arthritis: Conditions where joint structures are damaged due to inflammation.
- Post-traumatic joint damage: Loss of joint function due to fractures or injuries.
- Joint deformities and severe pain: Situations that limit daily activities and reduce quality of life.
- Failure of non-surgical treatments: When methods such as physical therapy, medications, and injections are not sufficient.
Preoperative Evaluation and Preparation
Before surgery, Prof. Dr. Sinan Kahraman conducts a detailed examination and diagnostic process. During this stage, the patient’s overall health condition, joint structure, pain level, and range of motion are evaluated. Imaging methods such as X-rays and, if necessary, MRI are used to clearly assess the condition of the joint. Patients are also thoroughly informed about the surgical process, risks, and postoperative expectations.
Hip and Knee Replacement Surgery Process
The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately 1–2 hours. Damaged joint surfaces are removed and replaced with high-technology prosthetic components. These prostheses are carefully selected based on the patient’s lifestyle and joint structure. Prof. Dr. Sinan Kahraman performs these surgeries at Kadıköy Florence Nightingale Hospital under high standards.
Postoperative Recovery and Rehabilitation
After surgery, patients begin to regain mobility in a short time. Physical therapy and rehabilitation programs are essential for improving the function of the prosthesis and strengthening the muscles. Patients typically start walking within a few days after surgery and aim to return to normal life within a few weeks.
