Orthopedics

History of Orthopedics

Orthopedics was originally a specialty for the children, the word literally meant “The art of correcting and preventing deformities in children”. It was mainly developed with an intention of treating musculoskeletal abnormalities of babies at birth. Today it covers all age groups ranging from neonates to geriatrics and not just deformities but problems arising out of trauma, degenerative processes, tumor growths or infections.

Over a period of time Orthopedic surgeons have developed and specialized with focus in specific fields such as Joint Replacements, Foot and ankle, Spine, Knee, Hip, Trauma, Sports injuries, birth anomalies etc.

As times have changed Orthopedic care of patients has changed too. Earlier it was just a surgical procedure but now it includes rehabilitation post surgery. Today it incorporates physiotherapy as an integral part of Orthopedic care. The other therapies that are playing a part are exercise therapy, meditation, rehabilitation and other alternative therapies.

The process of Orthopedic treatment at Hyderabad Multispeciality Hospital:

We at Hyderabad MultiSpeciality Hospital believe that correct diagnosis of problem is the key to successful treatment. The Orthopedic doctors at Hyderabad Multispeciality Hospital also believe that surgery is not the end of Orthopedic care, but to rehabilitate the patient into daily life. Our approach is holistic and evidence based. Hyderabad Multispeciality Hospital is equipped with state of the art technology to care for its patients. Correct diagnosis is established by taking full history from the patient and by investigating with the latest equipment. Appropriate customized treatment planning is done by the Orthopedic doctor who then counsels the patient and his/ her attendants. The skilled and compassionate nurses and other paramedical staff take care of the patient in the post operative period. Rehabilitation of the patient starts soon after the surgery by our physiotherapists whom we proudly address as “Movement Specialists”. The treatment is concluded with education regarding prevention of the problem and home care.
