Clinical focus

A substantial part of Dr. Sarpel’s work concerns degenerative joint disease. He assesses and treats osteoarthritis and other joint diseases, and performs knee replacement surgery and hip replacement surgery when conservative measures are no longer sufficient. Robotic surgery is among his areas of expertise and may be considered in selected joint replacement cases. He also treats knee injuries commonly associated with sport, including anterior cruciate ligament tears and meniscus tears, as well as muscle tears. In each case the choice between non-surgical and surgical management depends on the patient’s diagnosis, functional needs, and the treatment options available.

Dr. Sarpel’s practice further includes orthopedic oncology, foot and ankle surgery, and pediatric orthopedics. In trauma care he performs minimally invasive trauma surgery for suitable fractures and injuries. Treatment planning across these areas is based on clinical examination, imaging findings, and a discussion of realistic goals with the patient, and care is planned individually rather than according to a fixed protocol.

How Dr. Sarpel works with international patients

Dr. Sarpel consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, arranges appointments, and organizes the hospital stay. 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, including whether non-surgical management remains appropriate. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their case before deciding whether to travel; this is usually an initial review based on the reports and imaging provided, and the final treatment recommendation follows an in-person examination.
