Mehmet Taskoparan

Mehmet Taşkoparan is a surgeon specializing in orthopedics and traumatology at Private Anadolu Hospital. He performs spinal fracture surgery using a closed system and endoscopic spinal techniques. This closed system approach involves stabilizing the spine through small incisions to reduce recovery time. He also provides three-dimensional joint surgery and pediatric spinal corrections.

Specialization and Surgical Techniques

Taşkoparan performs spinal procedures including kyphoplasty and percutaneous spinal surgery. He treats conditions such as spinal stenosis, scoliosis, and kyphosis in children. The surgeon also restores joint function using total prostheses for ankles, shoulders, and fingers. Additionally, he provides total hip and knee prostheses to improve patient mobility.

Joint and Trauma Care

Taşkoparan uses three-dimensional technology for knee and hip replacement surgeries. This technology allows for precise implant placement based on the unique anatomy of each patient. He also treats rheumatic disorders affecting the major joints of the lower body. For soft tissue injuries, the doctor provides ESWT for heel spurs and tennis elbow.

ESWT—Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy—uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing in damaged musculoskeletal tissues. Furthermore, he treats various fractures and dislocations using minimally invasive trauma surgery techniques.

Minimally Invasive Procedures

The surgeon uses interventional arthroscopy to treat meniscus tears and sports injuries. He performs arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions and rotator cuff repairs during shoulder arthroscopy. He also surgically treats nerve compression, including carpal tunnel, ulnar tuzak, and tarsal tunnel syndromes. Ulnar tuzak—also known as ulnar nerve entrapment—causes numbness or pain in the elbow and hand.
