ABSTRACT
Computerized orthopedic information system is used to record diagnosis and treatment of illnesses, injuries, deformities, and malformations of the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and tendons. Orthopedists thus treat traumatic injuries to bones, such as fractures and dislocations; disturbances in joints, such as sprains, torn cartilages, or strained ligaments; and inflammation of muscle or connective tissues, such as bursitis, myositis, and tendinitis.
This project contains a detailed analysis of the existing manual-based monitoring system of a Hospital of the orthopedic hospital Enugu State as a case study. Base on the analysis, problem areas were identified and a computerized orthopedic information system was designed and implement using the IBM compatible Micro-computer system, with colour monitor.

- INTRODUCTION
Computerized orthopedic information system is used in the processing orthopedic information and data. Orthopedic surgery entails operations on bones, muscles, and joints. Orthopedic surgery allows for the replacement of hip and knee joints with artificial joints made of special metals and plastics. Fractures in bones are repaired with the implantation of pins, metal plates, and screws. These techniques greatly reduce the time needed for healing and recuperation. A subdivision of orthopedic surgery is sports medicine, which treats injuries and coordinates physical rehabilitation of amateur and professional athletes.
They also treat back problems, such as strains, ruptured discs, or curvatures; foot problems, such as flat feet or high arches; and neck disorders, such as strains or arthritis. Surgeons employ mechanical appliances, such as braces, splints, and casts, and in surgical procedures extensively use hardware such as screws, pins, nails, and bolts and nuts, particularly in repairing broken bones. In the 20th century open operations are performed freely; many deformities are cured by operative means alone; and improved X-ray techniques have made the diagnosis of bone and joint lesions more exact and the results of treatment more satisfactory. The transplantation of bone, fascia, muscle, and tendon for the restoration of function to, or the replacement of, destroyed tissue and even the use of newly devised metal prostheses to replace arthritic joints are now commonplace.
This computerized orthopedic information system will help the hospital in the following areas.
- To assist medical organization to maintain concise patients monitoring. This project is designed to overview how computer can be use to operation in hospital set-up system. Consequence, this can also serve as aid for computer efficiency designed to carry out administrative job.
- In the event of huge investment the risk at least will be reduced, this means that when the hospital spends a hug capital to carry out some project, that they will recover the capital with minimum risk.
- STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
By account of history, computerized orthopedic information system has been plague by several factors based on the current manual process:
– File and record are not properly kept.
– Error are easily made and hardly detected.
– Information is not well maintained.
The sole aim of this project is to reduce to its entirely all these irregularities by the use of computer.
- PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
To reduce stress, abnormalities, irregularities, time consumption and cost of operation involved or fund in various aspects of record control.
To raise the standard of computer to a greater height in the organization and also in the society
With the development of the internet if has made it possible to monitor for medical alternation online just as it is possible to do other business and service online.
- SIGNIFICANT OF STUDY
Computerized orthopedic information system has played a vital role in the modern medical society. It has helped both the medical practitioners and even the patients in monitoring orthopedic issue. Our government has use computerized orthopedic information system to control the spread of orthopedic in our society. The program has helped to render effective advice to orthopedic victims all over the city.
- AIMS AND OBJECTIVE
This project aim primary at developing computerized orthopedic information system that monitors orthopedic patients in an area. A computer-based system can be “batched” or “interactive” a batched processing system is one where transaction are collected and prepared for input for processing as a simple unit. There may be some delay between the occurrence original event and the eventual processing of the transactions. Interactive system are those which allow the user to input data in response to the information displayed on the screen
The project is concerned with only interactive system. The practical system used is the computerized orthopedic information system.
The project however aims at the following:
– A faster means of monitoring orthopedic patient
– Reducing redundancies of files
– Generation of monthly orthopedic information
– Increasing monitoring efficiency
– A faster means of calculating revenue
- SCOPE
The scope of this study, which is equally the domain or the problem area, is particularly the case study of this research work “orthopedic hospital Enugu” and it is to provide a program that will effectively handle the operations of a hospital monitoring system.
A program that will be interactive one, which means there will be at time/opportunities for operator to supply data to the computer
