Hip conditions include a variety of conditions that are usually caused by aging, trauma, genetic factors or overuse. These conditions include hip arthritis, hip dislocation, bursitis and tendonitis. Hip arthritis causes pain and restriction of movement as a result of the wear of the cartilage in the joint, while hip dislocation occurs when the hip joint is displaced from its normal position, either congenitally or as a result of trauma. Bursitis is characterized by inflammation of the bursae in the hip and usually improves with rest. Hip disorders can make daily life difficult; therefore, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment methods are of great importance to ensure that patients lead a healthy and active life. Op. Dr. Özgür Oktay Nar offers innovative approaches in the treatment of hip disorders and solutions for individual needs.

Hip Disorders

A hip fracture is a serious injury that usually occurs in older people as a result of traumatic events such as falls. These fractures occur in the region of the femoral head or femoral neck in the lower part of the hip joint and are characterized by symptoms such as severe pain, loss of movement and usually shortening of the leg. Hip fractures are more common in old age due to bone weakness such as osteoporosis, and if left untreated, can seriously affect the patient’s quality of life. Treatment options include surgical intervention to stabilize the fracture or implant placement. Op. Dr. Özgür Oktay Nar offers innovative treatment approaches and individual care plans for the fastest recovery of patients after hip fractures. With appropriate treatment, patients are aimed to return to their normal life activities.

A hip tear is an injury that usually occurs as a result of overstretching or straining the muscles or tendons in the hip joint. Such tears can occur during sports injuries, falls or excessive physical activity and are usually characterized by severe pain, swelling and restriction of movement in the hip area. Hip tears are particularly common in athletes, but can also occur in individuals with age-related muscle weakness. Depending on the severity of the tear, the treatment process may include methods such as rest, physical therapy and surgical intervention when necessary. Op. Dr. Özgür Oktay Nar aims to accelerate the healing process and ensure a healthy life by creating special treatment plans for his patients with hip tears.

Hip decay is a condition in which the bone tissue in the hip joint deteriorates and collapses, usually as a result of avascular necrosis (loss of blood supply). This condition leads to the death of bone cells in the head of the hip due to reduced blood flow, resulting in symptoms such as pain, limitation of movement and swelling in the hip joint. Hip decay can often be caused by trauma, excessive alcohol use, long-term steroid treatment or certain health conditions. Progression of the disease can lead to joint deformation and osteoarthritis, which significantly affects quality of life. Treatment options include physical therapy, medication and, if necessary, surgery. Op. Dr. Özgür Oktay Nar aims to support the healing process of his patients with hip decay by making a comprehensive evaluation and providing personalized treatment plans.
 

Hip replacement is an effective surgical treatment for patients who experience pain and limited mobility as a result of hip joint damage or degeneration. In this procedure, which is usually preferred as a result of the progression of conditions such as arthritis, hip fracture or avascular necrosis, the damaged joint surfaces are removed and replaced with an artificial prosthesis. Hip prostheses are made of metal, plastic or ceramic materials and allow patients to regain joint function and return to their daily activities. After surgery, the physical therapy and rehabilitation process is of great importance to accelerate the healing process of patients and increase the functionality of the prosthesis. Op. Dr. Özgür Oktay Nar aims to help his patients lead a healthy and active life by using the latest techniques in hip replacement applications.
