The orthopedic consultation and treatment planning session is a specialized diagnostic evaluation at the clinic of Prof. Dr. Murat Demirel in Ankara, Turkey. This session identifies the root cause of musculoskeletal issues through physical assessment and history review. It provides international patients with a structured roadmap for recovery, with medical information and findings shared in English.
Prof. Dr. Murat Demirel performs the evaluation and brings over 20 years of experience in orthopedics and traumatology. He holds a PhD in orthopedic surgery from Ankara University and conducts a detailed physical examination. The specialist reviews existing medical history and any previously performed imaging to determine the condition. Patients receive a personalized plan that outlines specific next steps, which may include non-surgical therapies or surgical interventions.
The clinic schedules appointments from Monday to Friday between 14:00 and 19:00, and on Saturdays from 12:00 to 14:00. This is an in-person diagnostic visit conducted in an outpatient setting. To ensure an accurate assessment, patients should prepare the following:
Patients do not need to undergo new imaging before their visit. The diagnosis starts with the physical exam and existing records to avoid unnecessary costs. If the specialist finds that current images are insufficient, the facility has on-site equipment for further testing. These tools include digital X-ray, MRI, CT, and ultrasound systems for immediate follow-up.
Individuals seeking an expert orthopedic evaluation in Turkey can request a consultation through Bookimed to begin their diagnostic journey.

The clinic is led by Prof. Dr. Murat Demirel. He has over 20 years of experience in orthopedic surgery. He earned his medical degree from Ankara University in 1998 and received his specialist title in 2004. Since then, he has maintained academic involvement through Ph.D. studies at the Ankara University Institute of Health Sciences.
The clinic provides diagnostic and treatment pathways for conditions affecting the knee, hip, shoulder, and foot. Specialists use 3D joint modeling to select the most suitable prostheses for patients. This planning supports improved joint alignment and prosthesis longevity after surgery.
For joint preservation, the clinic offers several regenerative therapies:
For hip conditions, the clinic treats advanced osteoarthritis, congenital dislocations, and complex fractures. Hip arthroscopy is a frequently performed procedure for internal joint issues. This minimally invasive method uses small incisions and special surgical instruments. The clinic reports 85–95% patient satisfaction rates for appropriately selected hip arthroscopy cases.
Shoulder care includes treatment for muscle tears, recurrent dislocations, and instability. Surgeons perform shoulder arthroscopy to repair muscle tears through a camera-assisted "closed" technique. After surgery, patients follow a staged rehabilitation program. The first phase usually lasts 4–6 weeks. During this time, a special sling protects the joint while the patient performs specific exercises.
Foot and ankle services focus on fractures and Morton's neuroma (nerve thickening in the foot). The clinic follows a strict stepwise strategy for nerve pain – less invasive measures are always tried first. Surgery is considered a last resort. It is generally recommended only if pain persists for 3–6 months despite shoe modifications and injection therapy.
A primary differentiator for the clinic is the use of robotic knee replacement surgery. Surgeons use computer-assisted systems to place implants with millimetric precision. This technology allows for highly accurate surgical planning before the procedure begins.
The clinic uses a suite of diagnostic tools for accurate treatment planning:
These tools help identify the precise stage of osteoarthritis or the extent of ligament and meniscus tears. The clinic also performs neurological examinations to assess nerve compressions in the spine or limbs.
The clinic provides medical information in English to assist international visitors. Patients from abroad receive support with orthopedic consultations and personalized treatment planning. The clinic is located in the Maidan business center in Ankara, so patients have access to local amenities. Prof. Dr. Murat Demirel coordinates follow-up care and long-term rehabilitation programs to monitor recovery after patients return home.
