ADNAN KARA

Prof. Dr. Adnan Kara is a Professor of Orthopedics and Traumatology at Istanbul Medipol University's School of Medicine, practicing at Bagcilar Medipol Mega University Hospital. With over 15 years of clinical experience since 2008, he specializes in complex trauma management and reconstructive orthopedic surgery across upper and lower extremities.

His academic foundation includes:

• Medical Degree from Uludag University, Faculty of Medicine (2001)
• Specialization in Orthopedics and Traumatology at Şişli Etfal Training and Research Hospital (2008)

Prof. Kara's research spans knee/shoulder arthroplasty, hand/wrist trauma, foot/ankle disorders, and sports medicine. His work emphasizes evidence-based surgical techniques, complication prevention, and biological treatments like PRP. Recent studies focus on optimizing fluoroscopic guidance, suture anchor applications, and comparative outcomes of fixation methods. He actively investigates biomechanical aspects of fracture healing and ligament reconstruction with clinical translation as a core priority.

Analysis of his 2018-2024 publications reveals consistent innovation in diagnostic imaging protocols (e.g., prone-position MRI for ACL tears), refinement of fixation hardware applications (volar plates, intramedullary nails), and critical evaluation of biological interventions for osteoarthritis. His research bridges biomechanics with clinical outcomes, particularly in trauma sequelae management and minimally invasive techniques.

Prof. Kara regularly presents at international forums including the Asia Pacific Orthopaedic Association Congress and EFORT Annual Congress, demonstrating active engagement with global orthopedic advancements.
