Marie from Cameroon Undergoes Successful Arthrodesis Surgery

Marie Madeleine was suffering from joint pain, which could no longer be managed by medications. She consulted Prof. Dr. Mahmut Ercan Çetinus, a renowned Orthopedic Surgeon in Turkey. The doctor advised her to have a joint fusion surgery, medically termed Arthrodesis. The surgery was successfully performed at ISU Medical Park Gaziosmanpasa Hospital, Turkey, and now she is free from joint pain.

She came for the treatment with her mother. They were worried about getting treated in other countries, but our team assisted them all throughout her treatment. She thanked all of us for a comfortable stay. We wish her a healthy and happy life.
