Orthopedics

🧠 Core Functions & Services

1. Musculoskeletal Diagnosis and Care

The department evaluates and treats a wide range of conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, such as fractures, dislocations, arthritis, bone deformities, and sports injuries. It uses tools like X-rays, advanced imaging, clinical examinations, and functional assessments to diagnose conditions accurately.

2. Trauma & Fracture Management

Orthopedic teams provide urgent care for traumatic injuries — such as broken bones and severe joint injuries — stabilizing patients and determining whether surgical or conservative treatment is best.

3. Surgical Treatments

When surgery is needed, the department can perform procedures like:

• Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for complex fractures
• Joint replacement surgery (e.g., hip or knee arthroplasty)
• Spine surgery and deformity correction
• Reconstructive and minimally invasive surgeries
• These operations aim to restore structural integrity, reduce pain, and improve function.

4. Non-Surgical Management

Not all orthopedic problems require surgery. The department also manages conditions with medication, bracing, activity modification, and referrals to physiotherapy or rehabilitation services.

5. Rehabilitation & Recovery Support

After treatment or surgery, orthopedic care continues with physical and occupational therapy, designed to restore strength, mobility, and independence. This teamwork between surgeons and rehabilitation specialists is essential for long-term success.
