The First Production of Artificial Limbs in The Ottoman State

Abstract

Aim: The main goal of this study is looking for an answer in the light of the documents of the Ottoman Archives of the Prime Minister’s Office to the question that when the production of modern artificial limbs in the Ottoman Empire was started.
Method: A catalog review was made on the website of Ottoman Archives of the Prime Minister’s Office between January 2019 and July 2019. In the catalog review, the keywords “suni aza (artificial limbs)”, “suni el (artificial hand)”, “suni kol (artificial arm)”, “suni ayak (artificial foot)”, “suni bacak (artificial leg)” were used and all determined 39 documents, that will enable us to illuminate the process of first-time production of modern artificial limbs in the Ottoman State were included in the study. The documents written in Ottoman Turkish were read by the author and evaluated scientifically.
Results: In some previous studies, it was reported that the local production of artificial limbs in Ottoman State started, since the renovation of Sadettin Pasha’s prosthesis was too expensive. However, this study revealed, that the person needed a new prosthesis was Rauf Pasha, not Sadettin Pasha and that the State spared no expense to start the first artificial limbs practices.
Conclusion: This study revealed that the production of the first modern artificial limbs began during the reign of Abdülhamid II and continued after him.
