Patient Experience
I'm a 72-year-old retired teacher who thought my gardening days were over due to crippling hip pain. Dr. Hüseyin Bayram didn't just see an old woman with arthritis; he saw someone who wanted to kneel in her rose garden again. His approach was methodical yet warm. He explained the ceramic-on-ceramic hip replacement using a model, showing me exactly how it would work. The surgery at Adana Ortopedia was flawless, but what truly amazed me was his follow-up. He called me personally two days after discharge to check on my pain levels. At my six-week check, he didn't just look at the X-ray; he asked about the roses. That human touch, combined with surgical excellence, is rare. I'm back to pruning without a single twinge.
Our 8-year-old son, Ali, took a bad fall from his bicycle, and the local clinic said his wrist was just 'badly sprained.' After a week of him crying in pain, we sought a second opinion with Dr. Bayram. He spent 45 minutes with us, not just examining Ali's wrist but earning his trust by talking about soccer first. He ordered a specific, angled X-ray that revealed a subtle but complete scaphoid fracture—missed by others. His explanation to a frightened child was genius: \"Your wrist bone took a little vacation and needs a cast hotel to heal.\" He applied a custom-molded cast himself, not a technician, adjusting it until Ali was comfortable. Three months later, with perfect healing confirmed, Dr. Bayram high-fived Ali with a 'clearance for bicycle tricks' certificate. He treated our child like his own.
As a competitive powerlifter, a torn distal biceps tendon during a deadlift was my nightmare. This wasn't a standard injury; it required precise surgical reattachment to return to heavy loads. Dr. Bayram, himself an athlete, understood the biomechanics and my goals implicitly. At Adana Ortopedia, he performed a single-incision anatomic repair with a special suture technique he explained would handle future stress. His post-op protocol was aggressively protective but tailored, with clear milestones. At 5 months, under his strict guidance, I cautiously pulled 180kg. He was more excited than I was! He blends the mind of an engineer with the heart of a coach. My elbow is now stronger than before the injury.
I arrived at the emergency department late on a Friday with a grotesquely dislocated shoulder from a motorcycle slide. The pain was blinding. Dr. Bayram was the on-call orthopedist. Calmly, amidst the ER chaos, he explained the closed reduction procedure but first ordered a CT scan, suspecting a possible associated fracture others might miss. He was right—a small Hill-Sachs lesion. Using a gentle, specific technique with sedation, he relocated the joint effortlessly. The difference was his immediate focus on stability; he applied a unique external rotation brace instead of a standard sling, drastically reducing my recurrence risk. His emergency care wasn't just about fixing the immediate problem; it was a strategic first step in permanent recovery. Follow-ups have been equally meticulous.
