Dr. Abdullah Eren is a professor of orthopedic surgery at Istanbul Florence Nightingale Hospital. He developed a new technique for modified Salter osteotomy. This surgical method eliminates the use of pins for internal fixation when treating hip dysplasia. Because it removes the need for hardware, this technique reduces the risk of complications related to pins.

Clinical Specialization and Techniques

Dr. Eren treats pediatric orthopedic conditions and performs adult hip surgery. He focuses on conditions like Perthes disease — a rare childhood condition where the blood supply to the hip bone is interrupted. The doctor also treats pediatric trauma and injuries. Additionally, he performs Ilizarov surgery to correct bone deformities and lengthen limbs through external fixation.

He also treats various orthopedic conditions:

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH)
Osteoarthritis and arthrosis
Meniscus tears and hip fractures
Valgus deformity
Bone and joint injuries

The specialist performs procedures including total hip replacement for dysplasia and revision arthroplasty. He uses knee and hip arthroscopy to perform joint treatments through small incisions. Furthermore, Dr. Eren performs vertebral plastic surgery to stabilize spinal fractures. He also provides ankle joint replacements for patients with severe joint damage.
