Knee Replacement
Knee replacement is a procedure in which the damaged surface of the knee joint is completely or partially replaced with an artificial joint, usually in progressive joint diseases such as knee osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. Knee replacement can also be applied in cases of serious knee injuries. This procedure alleviates pain and improves mobility, significantly enhancing patients' quality of life. Knee replacement surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia. Firstly, the damaged tissue is removed, and the bone ends shaping the knee joint are smoothened. Then, the prosthesis, usually made of metal and plastic, is placed. The leading implant brands include Zimmer Biomet, DePuy Synthes, Stryker, and Smith & Nephew. Each offers different types of prostheses and technologies to provide the most suitable solution for the patient's needs and lifestyle. The operation usually lasts 1-2 hours.
At ONV Ortho Orthopedic Clinic, we use the globally proven implant brands like Stryker, Zimmer-Biomet and Smith&Nephew. This minimizes complications that can arise due to the implants used. The suture materials chosen during this surgery are also world-class in terms of quality.
Following knee replacement surgery, patients are encouraged to become active as early as possible and participate in a regular physiotherapy program. These steps are important to protect the new joint, allow the patient to use it as their own joint, and increase muscle strength. On the 20th day after knee replacement surgery, the patient's condition is checked, and patients usually return to their daily lives after this last examination. However, each patient's recovery process is unique and this process can vary depending on the patient's age, general health, and physical condition before surgery.

Hello, as an athlete, I have experienced various injuries, and in every injury, my brother Burak ÖNVURAL has been the one to heal me quickly and in a healthy way. I am very grateful to him. He is both very caring towards his patients and also very competent in his profession. 🙏
When I hear the name 'Dr. Burak Önvural,' such a sense of trust fills me that I simply say 'okay' and lean back, following his advice. Both his profession and character are indisputably exceptional for us. For a patient, the most important aspect is trust in their doctor, and as a family, we have that trust in Dr. Burak forever.

I thank him very much, and may God protect such good-hearted people.
Dr. Burak Önvural is the best physician I have known, not only for his scientific knowledge and surgical skills but also for his compassionate care and dedication to his patients.
Truly an amazing doctor, he took his time to explain everything, very compassionate and understanding, he took his time and he performed minor surgery on my thumb, I am very fortunate to have met doctor Burak
I am pleased to highly recommend Dr.Burak without reservation. He is clearly an accomplished Orthopedic surgeon but also 100% committed to provide a full service with his team. Their attention to detail ensured that I had a successful hip replacement with the minimum of discomfort and a quick recovery. The ‘after care’ was second to none.
