Orthopedic conditions have been comprehensively elucidated in the Ayurvedic literature under the term "Bhagna Chikitsa." Acharya Sushruta, a prominent figure in ancient medicine, provided detailed insights into fractures, including their etiology, classification, and management modalities. In ancient times, fractures, termed "Bhagna," were frequently encountered due to warfare or animal attacks, whereas in contemporary times, they are commonly a result of road traffic accidents (RTAs). Sushruta categorized fractures based on the nature of trauma, fracture shape, displacement of fragments, and presence of wounds. Fractures occurring within bones were termed "Kand bhagna," while those involving joints were termed "Sandhimoksha" (dislocation).Sushruta's principles of fracture management, established centuries ago, encompass both conservative and surgical approaches, with conservative methods such as Kushabandha, Alepa, Chakrayoga, and Taila Droni remaining relevant. The advent of Western medicine introduced surgical instruments like intramedullary nails, which are utilized in managing complex fractures but may prolong union and healing.This paper aims to illuminate the ancient orthopedic wisdom, particularly in fracture management, and explore its potential relevance in modern times. By examining the concepts, theories, and techniques practiced millennia ago, we can appreciate their enduring value and consider their integration into contemporary orthopedic practices.
