To diagnose musculoskeletal disorders, our physicians utilize various imaging techniques such as X-rays, ultrasound, CT scans, and MRIs. In Turkey, experienced orthopedic surgeons also use diagnostic arthroscopy to assess joint issues. This procedure involves inserting a small camera-equipped device called an arthroscope through tiny incisions, allowing the surgeon to closely examine all parts of the joint with high magnification on a monitor.
