Clinical focus

Orthopedic surgery and traumatology is concerned with disorders and injuries of the musculoskeletal system, including the bones, joints, and surrounding soft tissues. Within this field, Dr. Çiçek sees patients with orthopedic conditions and injuries, assesses their symptoms and imaging, and discusses the options that may be appropriate for their situation. Whether a conservative approach or surgical treatment is considered depends on the individual findings, and any recommendation is made only after a clinical examination and review of the available information.

His subspecialty interest is Pediatric Orthopedics, which addresses musculoskeletal conditions in children and adolescents. Because the skeleton of a child is still growing, assessment and treatment planning in this age group take development into account, and families are involved in the discussion of findings and possible next steps. As with adult patients, the suitability of any treatment for a child is determined on an individual basis, and Dr. Çiçek explains the reasoning behind each option so that parents can make an informed decision together with the medical team.

How Dr. Çiçek works with international patients

Dr. Çiçek consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior medical reports and imaging, arranges appointments, and organizes the hospital visit in İstanbul. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination, and a discussion of the options that may be relevant. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their case or review their records with Dr. Çiçek before deciding whether to travel. Any plan that follows is based on the individual assessment, and further tests may be recommended where the existing information is not sufficient to reach a conclusion.
