A course of treatment with own stem cells at the clinic of Prof. Dr. Murat Demirel in Ankara, Turkey, offers a regenerative solution for joint and cartilage repair. This therapy uses the patient's own cells to support healing without the risk of rejection. Prof. Dr. Murat Demirel leads the treatment, bringing over 20 years of expertise in orthopedics and specialized regenerative methods.
The procedure uses autologous stem cells, meaning they come directly from your own body. These cells are typically taken from bone marrow or fat tissue. The medical team uses a centrifugation process to isolate the most active cells. Once concentrated, Prof. Dr. Murat Demirel injects them into the damaged joint or tendon. This process triggers the release of growth factors that help repair cartilage and bone. The entire procedure happens in a single session under local anesthesia or light sedation.
This therapy is a primary choice for patients with moderate osteoarthritis, especially in the knee. It also helps those with meniscus tears, tendon injuries, and slow-healing bone fractures. It is ideal for active individuals or those who cannot undergo major surgery. Patients usually see clinical improvements within 2 to 6 weeks. The benefits from one injection can last for 6 to 12 months. Because it is minimally invasive, most people return to their daily routines very quickly.
Prof. Dr. Murat Demirel is an Orthopedics and Traumatology Specialist with over 20 years of experience. He is currently a Ph.D. candidate at Ankara University Institute of Health Sciences. His practice focuses on modern orthopedic solutions, including robotic knee replacement and PRP therapies. Prof. Dr. Murat Demirel combines his deep surgical knowledge with these non-surgical regenerative techniques. The clinic provides a focused environment for orthopedic recovery and follows up with imaging to track healing.

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.
