The orthopaedic department at CoRSU is concerned with treatment of injuries and disease of the bones and muscles thus restoring ability and body functioning in people with disability.
Over the years the department has reinforced its services and consolidated its position as the referral point for assessment and treatment of pediatric orthopedic conditions. With the diagnostic, surgical and rehabilitative services fully operational, patients can now find qualified answers at CoRSU for their orthopaedic health problems.
The department acts although not officially as a referral centre for children with disability and those at risk of acquiring a disability from the whole of Uganda and neighboring countries.
The orthopaedic department is complimented by the physiotherapy department and an orthopaedic workshop, which provide when needed, assistive devices, such as braces, wheel chairs and artificial limbs thus completing the chain of treatment.
The department is staffed with six full time orthopedic surgeons and three full time orthopedic officers who run the day-to- day activities. All our staff are well trained in the different modes of management of orthopedic conditions.
- Angular deformities of the lower limbs
- Injection induced lesions of the foot
- Clubfoot
- Bone and joint infections/Osteomyelitis
- Neglected or improperly treated traumas
- Tuberculosis infections of the bones
- Knees and cerebral palsy contractures
- Post-trauma reconstruction
- Post polio paralysis
- Tumors of the bones
- Joint replacements (hips and knees)
- Bone and soft tissues reconstruction (post infectious bone loss, congenital pseudoarthrosis of the tibia, congenital bone absence)
Greetings from CoRSU Rehabilitation Hospital, and thank you so much for the good partnership, working relationship and cooperation that exist between us in support of CoRSU's Vision and Mission. On behalf of the Board of Directors, Management and Staff of CoRSU Rehabilitation Hospital, I regret to inform you of the departure of Mr. Davide Naggi who has been CoRSU's CEO for the past 5 years (2017-2022) but has moved on from CoRSU's service at the end of September 2022 after completing service of his last employment contract. Working with Davide has been an incredibly insightful experience and we appreciate his distinguished service at CoRSU Hospital particularly his commendable efforts in expanding the Hospital's network of donors and partners and standing with the indigene patients over the years. As we move forward, we will continue building onto his achievements, and we wish him the very best in his future endeavors.
Dr. Emmanuel Luyirika
