Trauma and orthopaedics is an area of surgery concerned with injuries and conditions that affect the musculoskeletal system (the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves). You may be referred to a trauma and orthopaedic consultant for treatment of an injury such as a bone fracture, a deformity of the spine or limbs, or a long-term condition that's developed over many years, such as osteoarthritis. We deal with all kinds of bone and joints injuries including spinal injuries. We are also providing orthopaedic services like orthro-plasty, Arthroscopy, Ligaments reconstruction, joint construction, paediatric Hip and Feet problems and Orthopaedic oncology. Many developments in orthopaedic surgery have resulted from experiences during wartime. On the battlefields of the Middle Ages the injured were treated with bandages soaked in horses' blood which dried to form a stiff, but unsanitary, splint. Originally, the term orthopaedics meant the correcting of musculature deformities in children. Nicolas Andry, a professor of medicine at the University of Paris coined the term in the first textbook written on the subject in 1741. He advocated the use of exercise, manipulation and splinting to treat deformities in children. His book was directed towards parents, and while some topics would be familiar to orthopaedists today, it also included 'excessive sweating of the palms' and freckles. Medical services of the Orthopaedics are provided.
