Yuksel Yurttas has crippled so many folks, including me. There were multiple people with bone infections, crooked legs. One patient Yurttas forgot to remove his ankle screws. Another patient had their fixator fall off during PT. Another patients bone never grew. Another patient got a stomach infection that traveled from her bone.
Here is the story of the Chinese girl who Yuksel Yurttas gave a bone infection to and she’s still recovering from:

And the list goes on and on… The only thing Yurttas is known for outside of N5 Suites is crippling people and giving them deformities. Yurttas is infamous in Turkey and the world for crippling patients only.
Thank you for consolidating most of the allegations in one message. This will help us to address many questions and concerns at once. As many of you know, we do not engage in any activity on the forum and will continue to refrain from doing so. After this message, anyone seeking information can reach us through our official communication channels.
We're dealing with not just false claims about us here but also some confusion that might mislead people researching the procedure. We need to set the record straight.
No patient under our care had severe bone infections after surgery. When you dig into the story shared in this forum before, you’ll see that the patient opted to continue their treatment with the health tourism company they paid, not with Dr. Yurttas. By then, Dr. Yurttas had already stopped working with that organization and was setting up his own team. Patients have the right to choose their doctor, and we weren't responsible for this case. For the past two years running Dr. Yurttas’ practice, we’ve had no such cases. We follow strict post-operative care protocols to prevent infections and treat them effectively.
Regarding the claim that someone's fixator fell off during surgery, that never happened. We had a patient with a stress fracture, which we treated appropriately. But, that’s completely a different case. We always make sure to provide the necessary support and keep open communication until our patients are fully recovered.
The stomach infection mix-up is because we don’t deal with the stomach at all. Limb lengthening is way off from touching anything near the stomach and causing such infections.
In some cases, some screws can be removed late for different reasons. Each case is unique, and it's not clear exactly what and which type of case is being referred to. Evaluating the purpose of each screw requires detailed medical knowledge specific to this type of surgery.
Bone healing is a natural process that's partly beyond our control. It varies from patient to patient, depending on the method used, the effectiveness of postoperative care, and some other factors such as smoking, diet etc. Bone healing issues occur in less than 5% of cases. Sometimes, patients' bones may heal slowly, quickly, or not at all. We monitor this with X-rays and exams every two weeks, and provide the right treatment and support.
After tibia lengthening, deformities can occur for various reasons, and they can be corrected with additional surgical interventions. We make it clear to patients that such complications can happen and the costs for some additional treatments are covered by the patient. In these cases, we only charge a minimal cost, but it's up to the patient to decide on getting the extra treatment.
Lastly, our website and the guides and documents we share before surgery detail potential risks and complications thoroughly, including how we address them and what is covered or not. Anyone can reach out to us for more information and to get these documents.
Thank you all for taking the time to read and consider our response. For any further information or questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly.
Best wishes!
