Abstract

Ayurveda is a complete science of life where we get elaborate descriptions about prevention and management of disease. Sushruta has mentioned detailed diagnosis and management for all orthopedic injuries under the heading, Bhagna. Bhagna as described by Sushruta is not merely a condition of fracture but it is the group of clinical entities of musculoskeletal system with traumatic origin. The principle of Bhagna management defined by Sushruta centuries ago are as per the condition suggestive surgical or conservative treatment. Sushruta has described the fundamentals of fracture management like Reduction (Bhagnasthapna), Immobilization (Sthirikarna) and Rehabilitation(Sukhcheshta prasartwam). Also, he has described various types of Bandhanas, management of malunion, management of open fractures. Different types of management techniques have been described according to the types of fractures e.g. Talabhagna, Shirobhagna Chikitsa.
