Introduction

Orthopaedics is the medical speciality concerned with preservation, restoration and development of the musculoskeletal system, extremities, spine and associated structures, using medical, surgical and physical methods. Orthopaedic Surgeons also look after Trauma patients with an injury who arrive as an emergency through the Casualty department.

The Trauma and Orthopaedic Department offers a full range of services for both adults and children including treating disorders of the body's bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and tendons.

In addition to the numerous Consultant led clinics, specialised nurse and physiotherapy led clinics are also held and the plaster room provides a specialised service to patients requiring plaster casts, braces and splints.
