The orthopaedic treatment has
been offered to patients in Thailand for a long time since the modern medicine
was introduced by foreign doctors who
came to Thailand in a group of missionaries.
Later when Pathayakorn School, the first medical school of Thailand (was
later changed to Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital) was set up in 1890, orthopaedics
became one part of teaching in surgery. The first training on orthopaedic was
conducted in 1948. At that time, those
who got the training were house and senior house officer but later were changed
to resident.
