Prof. Dr. Olcay GÜLER, MD

Prof. Dr. Olcay Güler, MD was born in Giresun. He completed his medical education at Istanbul University Istanbul Faculty of Medicine (ÇAPA) between 1995 and 2001. He then completed his residency in the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology at Istanbul University Istanbul Faculty of Medicine (ÇAPA) between 2001 and 2006. From 2012 to 2017, he worked at the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology at Medipol University Faculty of Medicine, and between April 2017 and October 2020, he worked at the Orthopedics and Traumatology clinic of Altınbaş University Medicalpark Bahçelievler Hospital. Since October 2020, he has been working as an Orthopedic and Traumatology specialist at Memorial Şişli Hospital.

Prof. Dr. Olcay Güler specializes in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of joint diseases. He has expertise in the three main methods used in the treatment of joint and sports-related diseases: Arthroscopy and Sports Surgery, Orthobiology Treatment, and Joint Prosthesis surgery. Arthroscopy and Sports Surgery are primarily used in the treatment of joint cartilage, ligament, meniscus, and tendon issues, which are commonly seen due to sports injuries. Orthobiology treatment is applied to support the healing of joint damage. He is experienced in robotic prosthesis surgery, which is a treatment option for advanced joint cartilage wear.

Robotic prosthesis surgery is most commonly used in knee and hip joint prosthetic surgeries. For patients with advanced wear and tear (osteoarthritis) in the knee joint, robotic knee prosthesis surgery is performed, including total knee prostheses, unicondylar knee prostheses, and patellofemoral joint prostheses. In addition, for patients with deformities or leg angulation due to previous fractures, robotic knee prosthesis surgery is performed with MAKOPLASTY robotic surgery. The goal is to restore the function of the knee by planning the most suitable prosthesis for the individual’s anatomy with the robotic system.

Robotic hip prosthesis surgery is most commonly applied to patients with advanced wear and tear (osteoarthritis) of the hip joint. It is also used in patients with avascular necrosis (bone death) of the femoral head, osteoarthritis due to hip dislocation, and hip fractures. With robotic hip prosthesis surgery, minimizing the risk of hip prosthesis dislocation and preventing leg length discrepancies after surgery are crucial for the success of the treatment.
