Biography

Interested in Orthopedic Trauma, Arthroplasty, and Sports Injuries.

I am an Associate Professor of Orthopedics and Traumatology at Erzincan University, Turkey. My academic and clinical focus is primarily on orthopedic trauma, polytrauma management, arthroplasty, and sports injuries.

I graduated from Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine (2004–2010) and completed my residency in Orthopedics and Traumatology at Baltalimanı Bone and Joint Disorders Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul (2011–2016). During my mandatory service in Van Ercis State Hospital (2016-2019), a region affected by conflict, I gained valuable experience in orthopedic war surgery.

Since 2019, I have been a faculty member at Erzincan University, where I obtained the title of Associate Professor in 2023. My academic portfolio includes 33 peer-reviewed publications (21 SCI-E, 6 ESCI, 6 ULAKBİM), 7 book chapters, and 18 oral presentations. My H-index is 8 (Google Scholar). In addition, I actively contribute as a peer reviewer for leading international journals, having reviewed over 310 manuscripts across 189 journals.

Internationally, I am a member of AO Trauma, AO Recon, and ESSKA, and I hold multiple AO Trauma Master certificates in pediatrics, soft-tissue & bone defect management, pelvis–acetabulum fractures, and upper extremity trauma. I completed a hands-on surgical fellowship in Innsbruck, Austria (2025) under Prof. Rohit Arora, focusing on upper extremity trauma, elbow arthroplasty, pelvis/acetabulum surgery, and polytrauma care. I have also been accepted for an AO Recon Hands-on Fellowship at the OCM-Muenchen/SANA Campus in Germany (2026).

Through both clinical practice and academic contributions, I aim to advance trauma and reconstructive orthopedic surgery while fostering international collaboration and education.

Be without fear in the face of your enemies.
Be brave and upright that God may love thee.
Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death.
Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong.
