Clinical focus

The core of Dr. Khenchbısh’s practice is the shoulder and the elbow. He evaluates and treats conditions of these joints, including injuries and degenerative changes, and performs elbow surgery and shoulder surgery when a surgical approach is considered appropriate. Pediatric hand and upper-extremity surgery is also among his listed areas of expertise, which covers the assessment and treatment of hand, wrist and arm problems in children.

Beyond the upper extremity, his work includes the management of trauma, such as fractures and other acute musculoskeletal injuries, as well as sports injuries and knee injuries. He treats muscle tears and provides care for patients with osteoarthritis, in which joint cartilage wears down over time and causes pain and stiffness. The choice between non-surgical measures and surgery depends on the individual findings, and each option is discussed with the patient after a clinical assessment and a review of the relevant imaging.

How Dr. Khenchbısh works with international patients

Dr. Khenchbısh speaks 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 reports and imaging, for example MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges the appointments and the hospital visit. 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 possible options. A video consultation is available for international patients, which allows a patient to speak with Dr. Khenchbısh and review the initial findings before deciding whether to travel to İstanbul.
