Bone & Joint Day

On August 4, 2023, the Department of Orthopaedics at GMC Nagpur celebrated Bone and Joint Day, dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of maintaining healthy bones and joints. The program featured a notable initiative where Bone mineral Density testing was conducted for all patients to assess osteoporosis levels, and calcium and vitamin D supplements were provided to those with scores below normal levels. Osteoporosis is known as the silent killer. With the prophylactic screening many pts were diagnosed to be osteoporotic although they didn't have any complaints whatsoever. Corrective pharmacological therapy was started for them and they were educated on the need for regular check up and compliance with treatment.
In addition to this, patients were educated on fundamental exercises that promote bone health and help prevent osteoporosis. The event was graced by Honourable Dean Dr Raj Gajbhiye sir and the Medical Superintendent Dr Sharad Kuchewar sir, the master of ceremony was Dr Abhinav Jogani and it concluded with a warm Vote of Thanks delivered by Dr. Sumedh Chaudhary, highlighting the department's commitment to promoting bone and joint health in the community.

World Spine Day

The department of orthopaedics GMC Nagpur celebrated the *World Spine Day* on 16th October '23.
This year the Theme is *MOVE YOUR SPINE*. This 2023 campaign calls on people to care for their spines by staying active. Evidence has shown that immobility and a lack of physical activity are contributors to spinal pain and disability. “Move Your Spine” encourages people of all ages, in all nations, to get active and support their spinal health through movement. An estimated one billion people suffer with spinal pain with 540 million people at any one time. Low back pain remains the leading cause of years lived with disability on the planet.
Spinal pain and disability are more prevalent than cancer, stroke, heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s Disease combined.

The program involved spreading awareness among the general public about various spinal disorders and the treatment modalities. There were various educative videos in vernacular language that were shown throughout the duration of OPD for the general public.
Thereafter we conducted a CME on low back pain in the department of orthopaedics.
The MOC for the program was Dr Abhinav Jogani. There was an inaugural speech by Professor & HOD Dr Sumedh Chaudhary who emphasized the importance of appropriate management of Low back pain. There was an elaborate talk on *Approach to Low Back Pain* patients by Dr Kiran Dhole. He outlined the algorithm which is useful in analysing the low back pain patients who present to the OPD. This was followed by an astute talk on *Clinical examination of Spine* by Dr Kuber Sakhare. He exhaustively outlined the various tests which are pertinent in establishing a clinical diagnosis of patients which ultimately helps in preparing a management plan for the patient.
Finally we had a talk on *Ergonomics & Rehabilitation of Patients* by OT lecturer Dr Minakshi Sawarkar. She elaborated on the various treatment modalities and management plans employed by the OT department for rehabilitation of patients.
There was a healthy discussion after the talks on various other related topics. The program concluded with a vote of thanks by Dr Abhinav Jogani.
