Clinical focus

The listed areas of expertise of Dr. Çavuş center on the hand and upper extremity. He evaluates and treats hand conditions and upper extremity conditions, and performs hand surgery and upper extremity surgery. His practice also covers hand rehabilitation and upper extremity rehabilitation, reflecting the role that structured recovery plays after injury or surgery in this region of the body. In addition, his expertise includes orthopedic trauma.

Because hand and upper extremity problems vary widely in cause and severity, the appropriate approach depends on the individual case. Whether treatment is non-operative, surgical, or a combination with rehabilitation is a matter for clinical assessment, and the options available to a given patient can only be discussed after the relevant history, examination and imaging have been reviewed.
