Knee pain is a common complaint that negatively affects daily life and can lead to restricted movement. It can be caused by overstrain, sports injuries, arthritis (osteoarthritis), meniscus tear, anterior cruciate ligament damage. Swelling, stiffness and pain in the knee become more pronounced, especially when going up and down stairs, walking or squatting. Op. Dr. Özgür Oktay Nar correctly diagnoses the cause of knee pain and offers the most appropriate solution to the patient from non-surgical treatments to surgical interventions, helping patients to move in a healthy and painless way.

Knee Pain

A meniscus tear is a condition that occurs when the menisci, the cartilage structures in the knee, are damaged by strain, sudden rotational movements or trauma. Although it is usually seen in athletes, meniscus tears can also occur in daily activities. It manifests itself with symptoms such as sudden pain in the knee, swelling, locking and limitation of movement. Depending on the size and location of the tear, physical therapy, injections or surgical intervention may be required in the treatment process. Op. Dr. Özgür Oktay Nar aims to restore knee functions by determining the most appropriate treatment method according to the patient’s condition.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury occurs as a result of strain, tear or rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament, one of the most important ligaments that provides stability in the knee joint. It usually occurs during sports activities such as sudden changes in direction, stopping, jumping and hard falls. A sudden “popping” sound can be heard in the knee, followed by rapidly developing symptoms such as swelling, pain, a feeling of imbalance and a dislocation of the knee. Treatment involves rehabilitation with conservative methods or surgical reconstruction of the ligament, depending on the severity of the tear. Op. Dr. Özgür Oktay Nar aims to restore knee function by offering treatment options tailored to individual needs.

Knee arthritis (gonarthrosis) is a degenerative joint disease caused by the wear and loss of cartilage in the knee joint over time. This causes the bones in the joint to rub directly against each other, leading to pain, stiffness, limitation of movement and deformities in the knee over time. Generally, advanced age, overweight, joint injuries and genetic factors increase the risk of arthritis. Treatment of knee arthritis may include medication, physical therapy, lifestyle changes or, in advanced cases, surgical intervention to relieve pain and improve joint function. Op. Dr. Özgür Oktay Nar offers the most appropriate treatment methods to improve the quality of life of his patients.
Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to examine and treat the internal structure of the knee joint. In this procedure, a small camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments are used to access the inside of the knee. Arthroscopy is commonly used to diagnose and repair knee injuries, cartilage damage, meniscal tears and ligament problems. Patients usually experience shorter recovery times and less pain after surgery because small holes are made instead of large incisions. Op. Dr. Özgür Oktay Nar helps his patients return to their daily lives quickly with knee arthroscopy.

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to examine and treat structures inside the joint. It uses a thin camera called an arthroscope and specialized surgical instruments to access the inside of the joint through small incisions. It is usually performed on joints such as the knee, shoulder, elbow and ankle. Arthroscopic surgery allows to quickly and effectively diagnose and repair joint injuries, inflammation, cartilage damage and ligament problems. This allows patients to return to their daily lives faster with shorter recovery times and less pain than traditional surgery. Op. Dr. Özgür Oktay Nar contributes to his patients to lead a healthy and active life with arthroscopy applications.

Radiofrequency therapy has emerged as a highly effective treatment method for managing pain, repairing damaged tissues, and targeting nerve roots in medical fields such as orthopedics, neurology, and pain management. This innovative technique, performed by experienced professionals like Op. Dr. Özgür Oktay Nar, offers patients a quick and effective alternative to surgical procedures.
