The concept of specialty OPD is to select cases of clinical and research interest
and to create a data base by prospective and retrospective follow up. The specialty
clinics are not unit specific and the idea is to facilitate a faculty member to
interact in more than one field of interest for research and publications. We intend
to collaborate with neighboring premier Medical Institutions to make our department
a satellite centre to study the common regional Orthopaedic problems and to create
a registry for our part of the State. The documentation is under process and we
shall soon be adopting a Hospital data system for digitizing our clinical material.
