Stem Cell Therapy in Prof. Dr. Murat Demirel

Prof. Dr. Murat Demirel operates a private single-specialty clinic in Ankara, Turkey. The practice focuses exclusively on orthopedics and traumatology. Dr. Demirel treats a variety of musculoskeletal disorders through both surgical intervention and conservative care. The clinic serves patients primarily from Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia.

Expertise and Specialist Background

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.

Primary Orthopedic Specialties

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:

• Stem cell therapy
• PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) applications
• BMAC (Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate)
• Exosome therapy
• Hydrogel injections

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.

Advanced Surgical Technology

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:

• Digital X-ray and densitometry
• High-resolution MRI
• Computerized Tomography (CT)
• Ultrasonography for soft tissue evaluation
• Digital foot analysis

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.

International Patient Services

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.
