Levent Horoz

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Levent Horoz serves as a full-time academician at Kirsehir Ahi Evran University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Surgical Medical Sciences, specializing in Orthopedics and Traumatology. His clinical and research activities focus on complex fracture management, biomechanical evaluation of orthopedic techniques, and rehabilitation innovations.

His research spans orthopedic trauma surgery, particularly distal radius fractures, pelvic/acetabular injuries, and intertrochanteric fracture management. Key interests include biomechanical evaluation of fixation techniques, telerehabilitation efficacy, and innovative surgical approaches for complex fractures. Recent work demonstrates expertise in elastic nail applications for pediatric fractures, poller screw techniques, and comparative studies of knee arthroplasty pain management.

Horoz has published 56 scientific works including 34 articles, 18 conference papers, and 4 book chapters. His publication trends show increasing focus on biomechanical studies (2023-2025) with significant contributions to fracture fixation techniques. The h-index of 4 (Google Scholar) reflects growing impact in orthopedic research.

He actively participates in scientific missions including the 26th Basic Sciences and Research School (2025), Pelvis and Hip Surgical Approaches Cadaver Course (2024), and multiple AO Trauma courses. Current projects include biomechanical comparison of intramedullary nails for femur fractures and development of helical fibula nails.

Horoz collaborates extensively with Mehmet Fevzi Çakmak (24 joint publications) and maintains affiliations with TOTBİD (Turkish Orthopedics and Traumatology Association), TOTEK (Orthopedic Education Council), and Asia Pacific Orthopaedic Association. His work addresses critical orthopedic challenges including obesity-related surgical complications, geriatric fragility fractures, and rehabilitation innovations.
