Sports Injury Centre
The department of “Sports Injury Centre” is a unique, one of its kind, Centre in India, dedicated to delivering the highest standards of integrated diagnostic, therapeutic (“key hole surgeries”), and rehabilitative services for sports injuries by arthroscopic management.
During 2008, considering the long felt need of the nation, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India decided to upgrade and upscale the facilities of Sports Injury & Joint Disorder in Safdarjung Hospital and establish a modern Sports Injury Centre as a separate department. It was inaugurated by the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India on 26th September, 2010 before onset of the Commonwealth Games, 2010. It is housed in a separate seven storey building with two basements, within the campus of VMMC & Safdarjung Hospital.
The Centre has state of the art Modular Operation Theatres where complex surgeries for ligament reconstruction and joint preservation as well as joint replacement are undertaken by highly trained Orthopaedic surgeons. The Centre has a dedicated floor equipped with the latest electrotherapy machines with a separate hydrotherapy wing, a cardio gym, a strength gym and an isokinetic machine for monitoring post-operative rehabilitation.
It also houses Laboratory services and Radiological Imaging services for routine and advanced diagnostic services on “Public-Private Partnership (PPP)” model, which is also one of its kind in India. These tests are conducted on CGHS approved rates for all patients. These lab and imaging services are used by patients from various departments of the hospital as well as from other places.
