The Department of Orthopaedics at KEM Hospital, Pune specializes in the diagnosis, correction,
prevention and treatment of patients with skeletal deformities. This includes disorders of the
bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves and skin, which form the musculoskeletal
system.
The Department of Orthopaedics at KEM Hospital commenced in 1971. Initially, trauma was the
primary focus of the department. Since then, with the emergence of new technologies and
facilities, we have grown into a full-fledged department with a daily OPD. With decades of
experience and strong medical ethics, we are your one-stop solution for all health issues related
to skeletal deformities and bones.
Our qualified and trained surgeons bring special expertise in performing surgeries for bone
fractures, cold surgeries for cerebral palsy and poliomyelitis, congenital disorders of hip joints,
clubfoot surgeries, and knee and hip joint replacement surgeries.
We are a centre for postgraduate training in Orthopaedics and have been recognized for
postgraduate teaching by Pune University, CPS Bombay and the DNB Board.

Pune. We understand the special needs of children and are renowned for our unique surgical
expertise and skills. We are committed to delivering comprehensive and compassionate family-
centred care, conducting innovative medical research, and providing the best training to our

The goal of this specialised branch of surgery is to reduce mortality and morbidity following
surgery on children. Nearly 4500 children attend the OPD service every year and over a 1000
paediatric surgeries are performed yearly. We are a centre of excellence in Paediatric Urology.
Our research is targeted at developing new techniques and medicines that make surgery both
