hip replacement

I first brought my father-in-law to see Prof. Omer in 2019 when he broke his hip at the age of 83. Omerul Faruk Bilgen put a prosthesis on his father-in-law, and at the age of 85 (2021) the same fracture occurred on the second leg, and we turned to Professor Omer again. Every doctor who sees the results of the operation says "Wow". My father-in-law feels good despite his age, walks and is quite active.

knee replacement

Fate brought us together with Omer Faruk Bilgen in 1991 after a car accident. My left knee was badly mangled, after 17 years of long treatments and crutches, in June 2008, during my 5th surgery, I put my foot back on the ground thanks to the prosthesis he fitted me. I actively continue my life wearing shoes that reduce the 6 cm of leg shortening caused by bone loss. Omer Bilgen also performed hip replacements on 4 of my friends to whom I recommended this doctor. I lead an active life, and for 9 years I have been the head of the branch of the Turkish Association of the Disabled in Bursa. Dear Doctor Omer, I wanted to tell you that I am happy to continue my life in motion. I wish you health and success in your work. Best regards.

hip replacement

Over the past 2 years, we have consulted many doctors regarding my mother's knee pain. On the recommendation of one of them, we turned to Prof. Omer Bilgen. After the diagnosis, he said that mom's knee is fine, the problem is with her hip. He performed hip replacement surgery on my mother. It's only been a week and my mom is ready to run if we let her.))) Thank you doctor. May God be kind to you.
