ORTHOPAEDIC SPORTS & JOINT CENTRE (OSJC) @ OUTRAM COMMUNITY HOSPITAL
Over the years, the department has grown and expanded its services to serve both local and regional patients. The outpatient workload for SGH Orthopaedic Surgery is the highest among all the restructured hospitals, with the Adult Reconstruction and Sports Medicine sub-specialties accounting for approximately half the entire workload.
The department embarked on the development of the OSJC at Level 4 of the Outram Community Hospital (OCH) in order to meet the growing demand and maintain the department's competitive edge. It is a one-stop centre focused on those with sports injuries or joint conditions, and caters to both private and subsidised patients.
The OSJC brings together a team of practitioners for a wider spectrum of team-based treatment options and is supported by complementary services such as Diagnostic Radiology and Physiotherapy. Patient care is enhanced through coordinated workflows, joint consultation and timely access for informed decision-making at a central location.

ORTHOPAEDIC DIAGNOSTIC CENTRE (ODC)
The SGH ODC serves as an assessment and education centre for orthopaedic surgical patients. The team of specialised staff conducts pre- and post-operative functional assessments of the patients, as an independent objective evaluation of the patients' functional progress and ability to return to daily function. Pre-operative education is also conducted to mentally prepare orthopaedic patients for surgery and the rehabilitation process.
ODC believes in measuring outcomes that matter most to our patients to better understand how to improve their quality of life. ODC is possibly the only dedicated centre in Asia that monitors surgical outcomes, and systematically records the clinical performance and function of patients following surgery. The information collected in ODC has been undoubtedly useful for improvement in clinical care, research and development.
