Road accidents, falls, and workplace injuries remain common causes of orthopaedic trauma in Ludhiana and across Punjab. Timely, expert surgical care significantly improves outcomes for fracture patients.
Scope of Orthopaedic Trauma Services
Orthopaedic trauma encompasses injuries to bones, joints, and supporting soft tissues resulting from accidents, falls, sports collisions, or workplace incidents. Hunjan Super Speciality Hospital in Ludhiana is equipped to manage the full spectrum of orthopaedic trauma - from isolated limb fractures to complex multi-system injuries.
Fracture care begins with accurate diagnosis using plain X-rays and, where needed, CT scanning to define fracture patterns and guide surgical planning. The choice between conservative management (splints and casts) and surgical fixation depends on the bone involved, fracture configuration, degree of displacement, and the patient’s overall condition and functional demands.
Modern fracture fixation at Hunjan Hospital uses intramedullary nails for long bone fractures (femur, tibia, humerus), anatomical plates and screws for periarticular fractures, and external fixators as temporary or definitive stabilisation for complex injuries. Pelvic ring and acetabular fractures, which require specialised expertise, are assessed and managed by our experienced orthopaedic surgeons.
- Upper limb fractures: clavicle, humerus, radius, ulna, wrist, hand
- Lower limb fractures: femur, tibia, fibula, ankle, foot
- Pelvic and acetabular fractures
- Spine fractures requiring stabilisation
- Open fractures with soft-tissue involvement (wound management + fixation)
- Joint dislocations: shoulder, elbow, hip, knee
- Polytrauma - coordination with critical care for multiply injured patients
Early mobilisation after stable fracture fixation is a priority at Hunjan Hospital. Our in-house physiotherapy team begins rehabilitation as soon as it is safe to do so, reducing the risk of stiffness, muscle wasting, and complications.
Emergency Trauma Care Pathway at Hunjan Hospital
How we manage a trauma patient from arrival to recovery
- On Arrival
Rapid Assessment & Stabilisation
The patient is assessed for life-threatening injuries. Vital signs are stabilised, pain is managed with analgesia, and the injured limb or spine is splinted to prevent further damage.
- Hour 1–2
Imaging & Diagnosis
X-rays are obtained urgently. CT scans are arranged for complex pelvic, spinal, or periarticular fractures. The orthopaedic surgeon reviews the findings and plans management.
- Hour 2–12
Surgical Decision
The need for emergency surgery (open fractures, vascular injury, compartment syndrome) versus planned fixation within 24–48 hours is determined. The family is counselled about the injury and planned treatment.
- Surgery
Fracture Fixation or Stabilisation
Surgical fixation is performed using the most appropriate implant system for the fracture type. Open wounds are debrided and closed, or staged wound closure is planned.
- Day 1–3
Post-operative Recovery
Pain management, wound monitoring, and DVT prophylaxis are initiated. Physiotherapy begins early - within 24 hours for many lower limb fractures - to start range-of-motion and muscle activation exercises.
- Weeks 4–12+
Rehabilitation & Follow-up
Progressive weight-bearing and strengthening exercises continue in our physiotherapy department. X-ray follow-up monitors fracture healing. Return to full activity is guided by clinical and radiological assessment.
