Abstract
Background: Sushruta-the ancient Hindu surgeon has explained about the diagnosis and management of traumatic joint injuries and stating clearly the basic principles involved in handling these cases with the most methodical approach. Among commonly occurring traumatic skeletal disorders, fracture, sprains and strains of ankle joint and inter- phalangeal joints are more prone. In all such conditions initial complaint of patients will be pain associated with swelling with or without deformity. Sometimes it has been chronic due to improper treatment. These clinical conditions hamper the routine activities and also financial status of the individuals. Sushruta- the ancient Hindu surgeon thoroughly explains many preparations including application of Manjishthadi Lepa (herbo-mineral paste application) in the different traumatic joint injuries in his book Sushruta samhita. Method: In this study, randomly selected 25 patients from the hospital of government Akhandanand Ayurved College, Ahmedabad-India, with diagnostic criteria of swelling, tenderness, difficulty in movements and patients with history of traumatic joint injury. Results: Out of 25 patients, complete relief was observed in 54 %, moderate relief in 24%, mild relief in 12 % and no relief in 08 % of patients. Conclusion: Manjishthadi Lepa (herbo-mineral paste application) was observed to be very beneficial in traumatic joint disorders like sprain, strain and hairline fracture
