Abstract Ayurveda is a complete science of life, where we get elaborate descriptions about the prevention of disease in a healthy individual, as well as the management of diseases. The most important supportive framework of the body is Asthi. In the vast literature of Ayurveda, orthopaedic condition (Fracture) are well elaborated in the name of Bhagna. The fracture is a condition characterized as a break in the movements/continuity of bones and in Ayurveda it is termed "Bhagna”. Acharya Sushruta provided detailed descriptions of the classification, causes, clinical features, and management of Bhagna. Bhagna is categorized into various types based on the nature of bone displacement and the involved anatomical structures. The management principles include Bhagna Sthapana (reduction of fracture), Bandhana (immobilization), and the use of herbal formulations and dietary regimens to promote proper healing and restoration of function. These principles show remarkable similarities with modern orthopedic fracture management techniques such as reduction, immobilization, and all the methods that are being practiced today for the management of Bhagna have their roots in the basic principles given by Acharya Sushruta as Aanchhana, Peedana, Sankshepa, and Bandhana. This article aims to review the classical Ayurvedic concept of Bhagna, its classification, diagnostic features, and therapeutic approaches, and to explore its relevance in contemporary fracture management.
Keywords Bhagna, Sandhimukta, Aanchhana, Peedana, Sankshepa, Lepana.
