When several bones break at once — or one major bone shatters — the order and timing of repair decide the outcome. Dr. Kumar Vishal and the Medifirst trauma team treat multiple and major fractures with the emergency, ICU and neurosurgery support such injuries need.

Thirteen years of trauma, joint and sports surgery — and patients who walk out of it.
Multiple fractures are not just “more casts”. Several broken bones — often with a head, chest or abdominal injury — must be prioritised, stabilised and fixed in the right sequence, sometimes over more than one surgery. This needs a team and an ICU, not a single clinic. At Medifirst, Dr. Vishal plans and leads the bone repair while the emergency and critical-care team keep the patient safe.
Multiple fractures (doctors call it poly-trauma) means more than one bone is broken — for example a leg and an arm, or a pelvis with a thigh bone — usually from a high-energy accident, and often with an injury to the head, chest or abdomen at the same time. Each injury affects the others: the body is under far more stress than with a single break.
The skill is not just fixing bones — it is deciding what to fix, in what order, and when. Some fractures are stabilised immediately; others are best repaired once the patient is stronger. Dr. Vishal builds that plan with the emergency and ICU team, so nothing critical waits and nothing is over-treated.

A crash is rarely just one broken bone. At Medifirst Hospital the emergency, ICU, neurosurgery and orthopaedic teams work under one roof, so you are stabilised and treated without being shifted from hospital to hospital. Dr. Vishal leads the orthopaedic repair — bones, pelvis and joints.
One place, one coordinated plan — not a family running between hospitals during the most stressful hours of their life.
Any of these mean the patient needs a trauma-ready hospital with ICU and imaging — not a small clinic.
If the accident involves a head or brain injury, loss of consciousness, a chest injury, or numbness or weakness in the limbs, that is a medical emergency and must come first. At Medifirst these are handled immediately by the emergency, ICU and neurosurgery team, and Dr. Vishal repairs the bone, joint and pelvic injuries alongside them.

The first job is survival: the emergency and ICU team secure breathing, circulation and any head or chest injury. In parallel, every fracture is imaged and ranked. Very unstable or open fractures may get a quick external fixator to buy time; the rest are planned for definitive fixation.
Once the patient is stable, Dr. Vishal completes the reconstruction — plates, rods and screws, joint surfaces rebuilt, the pelvis realigned — aiming to get major joints moving early. It is demanding work, and it is exactly the kind of case Dr. Vishal has taken on when other hospitals said it could not be done.
Dr. Vishal walks you through your own X-ray or MRI, shows you exactly what's going on, and lays out every option — surgery and non-surgery — so the decision stays yours.
Major, multi-injury recovery takes longer and varies a lot — this is the shape of it.
ICU care for breathing and circulation; unstable fractures temporarily fixed; head/chest injuries treated.
As the patient strengthens, fractures are fully fixed — sometimes across more than one planned surgery.
Joints are mobilised and weight-bearing begins in stages; physiotherapy prevents stiffness and weakness.
Bones unite and strength returns; most patients walk again and rebuild independence with rehab.
In poly-trauma, the order and timing of repair decide the outcome. Dr. Kumar Vishal is an orthopaedic and trauma surgeon in Ranchi, Jharkhand, practising at Medifirst Hospital, where he is Director. Choosing an orthopaedic surgeon is one of the most important health decisions a family makes — and for thousands across Jharkhand, that choice has been Dr. Vishal.
With more than 13 years of experience and 800+ surgeries performed, he is widely regarded as one of the best orthopaedic surgeons in Ranchi for knee & hip replacement, arthroscopy, sports injuries, arthritis and complex trauma & fracture care. He is fellowship-trained in joint replacement and arthroscopy and has treated over 10,000 patients — including fractures other hospitals had turned away.
What sets him apart is a philosophy of honest, unhurried care — every patient examined personally, given a clear explanation, and told plainly whether surgery is truly necessary, or whether physiotherapy, medication or rest would serve them better.

"My thigh bone fractured and the bone had come out. Doctors in Daltonganj said it couldn't be saved. Dr. Vishal treated me at Medifirst — 3–4 surgeries — and today, 15 days after stitch removal, I am walking on my own leg. He is like a god to me."
Read on Google"I had a fracture in my leg and was operated on by Vishal sir. A rod was applied, and I'm absolutely fine now — allowed to walk again. Thank you so much, sir. Best orthopaedic surgeon in Ranchi, Jharkhand."
Read on Google"I had ongoing pain in my left hip joint, but the X-ray was normal so no one could find the cause. Dr. Vishal explained the difference between a nerve problem and a bone problem, and examined it properly. I'm much better now, and the problem is nearly gone."
