About Assoc. Prof. Dr. Muharrem Kanar
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Muharrem Kanar's limb-lengthening practice at Şişli Hamidiye Etfal Training and Research Hospital's Seyrantepe campus in Istanbul, a University of Health Sciences teaching hospital where he has worked as an orthopaedic surgeon since 2014. Kanar — MD, Orthopaedics & Traumatology — is an associate professor with 19 PubMed-indexed papers, including a 41-patient FITBONE-versus-PRECICE comparison from this hospital (2023) and a 2026 case report on a Stryde nail failure after cosmetic lengthening. Methods: PRECICE 2 and FITBONE nails, lengthening over a nail, Ilizarov and computer-assisted hexapod frames.
What we could not verify: prices, case volume and international-patient services — the practice has no website and publishes none of them. The Google rating comes from a listing under his own name with 18 reviews, too few to rank. Ask for a written quote, the planned method and who runs rehabilitation.
Listed in September 2026. Verified independently: the surgeon — an associate professor of orthopaedics at Şişli Hamidiye Etfal with a PubMed record in limb lengthening and deformity correction, and a Google Maps listing for his limb-lengthening practice at the hospital's Seyrantepe campus. Not verified: prices, annual case volume or an international-patient service, because the practice publishes none. Assoc. Prof. Kanar also reviews clinical content on this site; he has no say over this listing, its tier or its place in any ranking.
