Dislocated Bone Surgery Treatment in Turkey
About Dislocated Bone Surgery
Key Highlights
-
Restores proper joint alignment and function in growing children.Performed by specialists trained in pediatric bone growth and development.Minimizes risk of long-term complications like arthritis or chronic instability.Often uses minimally invasive techniques when possible to reduce scarring.Aims to protect the growth plates (physes) to ensure normal future bone growth.Can prevent recurrent dislocations and restore a child's mobility and activity level./ul
Who is this surgery for?
- Acute traumatic dislocation from a fall or sports injury that cannot be stabilized with closed reduction.
- Recurrent (habitual) dislocations where the joint is unstable.
- Dislocation with associated fracture (fracture-dislocation).
- Dislocation with trapped soft tissue (like muscle or tendon) preventing closed reduction.
- Congenital dislocations (present from birth), such as Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH).
- Pathological dislocation due to underlying conditions like infection or neuromuscular disease.
How to prepare
- Thorough physical exam and imaging (X-rays, CT, or MRI) to assess the dislocation and any associated injuries.
- Medical history review, including allergies and previous anesthesia reactions.
- Pre-operative blood tests and possibly an ECG to ensure fitness for surgery.
- Fasting for 6-8 hours before the procedure as per anesthesia guidelines.
- Discussion with the surgeon and anesthesiologist about the procedure plan and pain management.
- Arranging for post-operative care and support at home during recovery.
Risks & possible complications
- Infection at the surgical site.
- Bleeding or hematoma formation.
- Damage to nerves or blood vessels near the joint.
- Stiffness or reduced range of motion in the joint.
- Failure of fixation, leading to re-dislocation.
- Growth plate injury, potentially affecting future bone growth.
- Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis), though less common in children.
- Anesthesia-related risks.
- Development of arthritis in the joint later in life.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Initial immobilization with a cast, splint, or sling to protect the reduction.
- Pain management with prescribed medications.
- Elevation and ice application to reduce swelling in the first few days.
- Gradual, supervised physical therapy to restore strength, flexibility, and range of motion.
- Follow-up X-rays to monitor healing and bone position.
- Strict adherence to weight-bearing and activity restrictions as advised by the surgeon.
- Long-term monitoring in growing children to ensure normal development of the joint.
-
Typical hospital stay:
1-3 days

Our 8-year-old daughter fractured her elbow...
Our 8-year-old daughter fractured her elbow in a playground fall, and Dr. Prashanth Inna was absolutely phenomenal. He explained the complex procedure in simple terms, calmed our nerves, and the minimally invasive surgery went perfectly. His follow-up care was thorough, and she's now back to gymnastics without any issues!
