Sichuan Provincial Orthopedic Hospital

What Sichuan Provincial Orthopedic Hospital does

Sichuan Provincial Orthopedic Hospital (四川省骨科医院), also known as Chengdu Sports Hospital and Chengdu Sports Trauma Research Institute, is a Class A Tertiary TCM orthopedic hospital founded in 1958 in Chengdu, China. It is China's first sports hospital and the first Class A Tertiary Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) orthopedic hospital in the country. The hospital operates a two-campus model: the original Wuhou Campus (武侯院区) and the Tianfu Campus (天府院区), opened in Chengdu's Xinjin District, which spans approximately 92 mu with 89,000 sqm of building area and 550 registered beds as part of a national TCM inheritance and innovation construction project. The institution delivers a comprehensive clinical portfolio that combines TCM orthopedic traumatology (anchored by the proprietary four-generation Zheng's Bone Setting / 郑氏骨科 treatment system) with modern sports medicine, orthopedic surgery, rehabilitation, 24-hour trauma emergency care, and in-house TCM preparations (院内制剂) including products such as 疲王霜, 疲王颗粒, 肾王膏, and 脾王膏 developed for sports fatigue recovery.

The hospital's technology stack includes specialized orthopedic techniques (Ilizarov limb reconstruction, membrane induction, 3D-printed customized joint prostheses, complex wound repair combining VSD/PRP/TCM), advanced imaging infrastructure (Siemens/GE MRI, spiral CT, DR systems, PACS/RIS), and an early-stage AI initiative to digitize Zheng's bone-setting tuina techniques via a '形-力' multi-modal digital atlas. Revenue is generated through five streams: clinical medical services billed under China's public medical insurance system (城镇职工基本医疗保险, 城乡居民基本医疗保险), national and provincial sports team medical guarantee contracts (including Olympic athletes), sales of proprietary hospital preparations, continuing medical education and clinical training programs, and government subsidies and research grants from Sichuan Provincial Health Commission, Sichuan Provincial TCM Administration, and national sports bodies.

The institution serves a dual customer base: general orthopedic patients (recording ~389,500 outpatient visits, ~66,800 emergency visits, and ~18,500 inpatient admissions in 2015, with continued growth via Tianfu Campus capacity) and elite national/provincial sports teams (volleyball, table tennis, diving, women's football, track and field, shooting, gymnastics) under formal medical service agreements. It also operates an orthopedic specialist alliance of approximately 70 member hospitals in Sichuan Province and is designated as the only non-Beijing hospital holding a formal cooperation agreement with China's national sports teams.
