History and Chairmen of the Department
The Orthopaedic surgery Department owes its origins to a time when the clinical priorities were very different to those that present to orthopaedic surgeons. In 1938, the departments as well as many other surgical specialties' were inaugurated as a part of the special surgeries department.
The department was dealing with only orthopaedic cases and consisted of one unit. The post graduate degrees offered at this time were a Diploma or a Masters degree in Orthopaedics.
