GDP Orthocare / GDP Careでの四肢装具

GDP Orthocare is an orthopedic clinic in the Goyal Nagar neighborhood of Indore, India. This single-doctor practice focuses on pediatric orthopedics and spine surgery. It has an attached pharmacy and laboratory, so patients get tests and treatment in one place.

Awards and Professional Achievements

Dr. Gaurav Jain leads the clinic. He is a fellowship-trained surgeon with over 15 years of experience. Dr. Jain is an Associate Professor at LNCT Medical College and Sewakunj Hospital. His work in pediatric deformity and spine care has earned several professional awards:

• BIG Healing Hands Award for Excellence in Pediatric Orthopedics & Spine Surgery
• Gold Medal at MPIOACON for research on neglected and relapsed clubfoot
• VTI Gold Medal paper at ASSICON

Dr. Jain is a member of the North American Spine Society and the Association of Spine Surgeons of India. These memberships help keep the clinic's treatment methods based on verified protocols.

Pediatric Orthopedics and Clubfoot Care

The clinic specializes in the Ponseti method for clubfoot correction. Since 2020, Dr. Jain has treated 186 children, covering 275 feet. These include first-time cases and complex referrals where treatment at other facilities failed. The protocol has three steps:

• Weekly serial casting
• An Achilles tenotomy
• Long-term bracing until age five

For hip dysplasia, specialists use the Pavlik harness for early-stage evaluation and bracing. Complex pediatric deformities may need surgery, and the clinic offers several options:

• Capsular and contracture release
• Tendon transfers
• Bone realignment strategies
• Osteotomy and joint fusion for rigid flatfoot

Casting and physical therapy come first. Surgery is considered only after that. This way, most children return to physical activities without major invasive procedures.

Spine Surgery and Scoliosis Treatment

Spine care at the clinic covers pediatric scoliosis, disc prolapse, and radiculopathy. Scoliosis treatment depends on how severe the spinal curve is. Doctors simply monitor mild curves under 20 degrees. Moderate curves need bracing for 16–23 hours per day.

For severe scoliosis, surgeons perform spinal fusion with pedicle screws and rods. Younger children can get non-fusion alternatives and other procedures:

• Traditional growing rods with lengthening every 6 months
• MAGEC rods using magnetically controlled external lengthening
• Posterior and anterior decompression
• Microdiscectomy for nerve root compression

During spinal fusion, the team uses intraoperative neuromonitoring to track nerve function. Most patients stay in the hospital for 5–10 days after major spine surgery.

Advanced Diagnostics and Technology

Diagnostic tools at the clinic help plan complex surgeries and monitor growth. Standing full-spine X-rays and weight-bearing alignment films are standard for deformity assessment. MRI and CT scans help evaluate unusual spinal curves and soft tissue injuries.

Rehabilitation equipment includes CPM machines. These start on the day of surgery to keep joints moving. For pain during recovery, the clinic offers electrotherapy such as TENS and ultrasound therapy.

Services for International Patients

The clinic supports families traveling from abroad or seeking remote advice. Through a structured second opinion service, patients upload X-rays and MRI scans and get written specialist advice. This lets families choose a treatment plan before they travel.

Online video consultations are available for international families and out-of-city patients. Consultations run in English and Hindi, and chat messages have automated translation. After treatment, families get structured 12-week recovery programs with remote follow-up via WhatsApp.
