Prof. M.D. Kaan Erler Reviews

As a 72-year-old retired ship captain with severe osteoarthritis in both hips, I had given up on walking without pain. Dr. Erler didn't just see me as another hip replacement case; he understood my lifelong connection to the sea and designed a rehabilitation plan around pool therapy at Bodrum's coastal facilities. Six months post-surgery, I'm not just walking—I'm wading in the Aegean again.

My 14-year-old daughter, a promising gymnast, suffered a complex growth plate fracture in her elbow during a competition. Dr. Erler's approach was remarkable—he coordinated with her coaches and designed a minimally invasive procedure that preserved her joint mobility. His follow-up included video consultations to monitor her form as she returned to training. She's now competing at national level again.

After a paragliding accident in the Bodrum hills left me with a shattered pelvis, I was airlifted to Acibadem. Dr. Erler performed emergency stabilization surgery at midnight, then personally explained the 3D-printed implant he would use for reconstruction. His innovative approach using patient-specific instrumentation allowed me to walk unaided in half the expected recovery time.

My 8-year-old son with cerebral palsy developed severe hip subluxation that traditional therapies couldn't address. Dr. Erler proposed a novel combination of guided growth surgery and custom orthotics. What stood out was his collaboration with our physiotherapist back in Germany via telemedicine, creating a seamless international care plan that transformed my son's mobility.
