As a 72-year-old retired ceramic artist with advanced osteoarthritis in both hands, I had resigned myself to never throwing another pot. Prof. Turan performed a revolutionary double ceramic-on-ceramic metacarpophalangeal joint replacement he developed. Not only can I sculpt again, but the precision of the implants actually improved my fine motor control beyond my pre-arthritis ability.

My 14-year-old daughter, a promising ballet dancer, suffered a rare traumatic Lisfranc fracture during a performance. While other surgeons suggested fusion that would end her career, Prof. Turan created a custom 3D-printed internal scaffold that allowed anatomical healing without fusion.

As a 45-year-old competitive freediver with severe shoulder instability from years of repetitive motion, traditional stabilization would have ended my career.
