Shoulders, hips, cervical spine, thoracic spine and lumbar spine are important areas of interest to the orthopedics and traumatology department. The department of orthopedics and traumatology is not a branch that only deals with bones. In this regard, the most common wrong applications to our clinic are jaw, nose, head and rib traumas.
