Orthopaedics

In 1994, Orthopaedics as an exclusive surgical speciality took shape in this hospital while contemporary practice was still dealing in plasters and tractions for orthopedics patients in this part of Eastern India. TODAY- Since those faltering steps 18 years ago, the Dept. of Orthopaedics today is making thousands of lives more comfortable, happier and painless... The Department is the embodiment of care and commitment, constantly reinventing itself to establish the highest level of ethical standards in patient care, clinical research and education in this region. It is regarded as the most specialized centre in the eastern region for Joint Replacement, Traumatology, Spinal Surgery, Pediatric Orthopaedics, Arthroscopy and Sports Injuries & Hand Surgery. It is also the official referral centre during major national sporting events.

Arthroscopy  

Arthroscopy (also called arthroscopic surgery) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which an examination and sometimes treatment of damaged interior part of a joint is performed using an arthroscope, a type of endoscope that is inserted into the joint through a small incision. Arthroscopic procedures can be performed either to evaluate or to treat many orthopedic conditions including torn floating cartilage, torn surface cartilage, ACL reconstruction, and trimming damaged cartilage.

We have performed arthroscopies successfully on numerous patients visiting our Orthopaedics Department.
