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 other Institutions to make our department a support 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 have adopted Hospital data system for documentation. Digitalization, update related to clinical material is already in practice.
