Social Orthopedics- From Covert to Overt

Dr Abu Hasan Sarkar

Abstract :

The span of Orthopedics has been increasing along with the increase in the global socio–economic development. High prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency, joint pain, osteoporosis, disabilities in India calls for the need of introducing ‘Social Orthopedics’. A policy of reciprocity between the departments of Community Medicine and Orthopedics may be introduced. This would give birth to common understanding and create common knowledge with beneficial overlapping research and local innovations. The way forward lies in defining ‘Social Orthopedics’ meticulously, exploring the scopes and to debate scientifically whether this term may be recognized and introduced into post graduate medical education as an overt curriculum rather than being a covert curriculum only.
