Orthopaedic unit of the Hospital has been providing health care under the command of Dr. Ali Imran Orthopaedic Surgeon. It is beds Facility. 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.
