Thirteen years of trauma, joint and sports surgery — and patients who walk out of it.
A fracture is a broken bone. Simple, well-aligned breaks often heal in a cast or brace; displaced, unstable or joint-line fractures usually need surgery — plates, screws or a rod — to hold the bone in the right position while it unites. Early, correct fixation means straighter healing and earlier movement.
A fracture is any break in a bone — from a hairline crack to a bone that has broken into several pieces or come through the skin (an open fracture). What matters is not just that the bone is broken, but whether the pieces are in a good position and whether the break is stable.
When the alignment is good and the break is stable, a plaster cast or brace lets it heal on its own. When the bone is out of place, unstable, or runs into a joint, it usually needs surgical fixation to hold it correctly — otherwise it can heal crooked, short, or stiff. The right call is made from your X-ray, the injury and your daily life.
Major trauma is rarely just one broken bone. At Medifirst Hospital the emergency, ICU, neurosurgery and orthopaedic teams work under one roof, so a poly-trauma patient is 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.
A fracture is not always obvious. See an orthopaedic surgeon quickly if you notice any of these after an injury.
If an 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.

Care starts with pain relief, a proper X-ray (a CT for complex joints) and a clear plan. Stable breaks are set and protected in a well-moulded cast or brace, and reviewed so the position holds as swelling settles.
When surgery is needed, the bone is fixed with plates, screws or an intramedullary rod using trusted implants and, where suitable, minimally-invasive technique. The goal is a bone that heals straight and a joint that starts moving early — so stiffness and long-term weakness are avoided.
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.
Bone healing takes weeks — this is the usual path, though it varies with the bone and the injury.
Pain and swelling are controlled; the fracture is set in a cast or fixed in surgery, and protected.
Guided movement of nearby joints begins to prevent stiffness, with weight-bearing as advised.
X-rays show the bone joining; support is reduced and load is increased step by step.
Most fractures are solidly healed; strength and full activity return with physiotherapy.
When a bone breaks, the surgeon you reach first shapes how well it heals. 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"My brother had a leg fracture. Another hospital kept him in ICU for a week and was running up unnecessary bills. Dr. Vishal read the reports, explained there was no abdomen or head injury, operated on the fracture — and 10 days later my brother is comfortable. His advice is genuine."
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."
