Assoc. Prof. M.D. Gökhan Karademir Reviews

After surviving a building collapse during an earthquake, I had multiple pelvic fractures and was told I might never walk normally. Dr. Karademir coordinated a multidisciplinary team at Acibadem Maslak for what he called 'reconstructive puzzle surgery.' His meticulous planning and post-operative care gave me back my mobility. I now volunteer with disaster response teams, sharing my recovery story.

As a 72-year-old retired classical violinist, I feared my career was over when osteoarthritis made my left hand fingers stiff and painful. Dr. Karademir didn't just see a joint problem—he understood my need for precise finger mobility. His innovative minimally invasive procedure restored my dexterity. Six months later, I performed a full concert at the hospital auditorium, dedicating the final piece to him.

My 14-year-old daughter, a competitive gymnast, suffered a complex growth plate fracture during a vault. Other doctors suggested she might never compete again. Dr. Karademir's specialized pediatric orthopedic approach involved custom 3D-printed surgical guides. Not only did he repair the injury, but he also designed a progressive recovery program. She's now back training and recently qualified for national championships.

As a professional marathon runner with a recurring stress fracture in my tibia, I'd seen five specialists without lasting improvement. Dr. Karademir identified a previously overlooked biomechanical issue in my gait. His treatment combined precise surgery with a revolutionary loading protocol. I not only recovered but set a personal best in my next marathon, crediting his holistic approach.
