The Conference was very well organized and all the
lectures and deliberations were very informative.
On the 3rd day, future trends and developments in
orthopaedics were discussed in all specialties of
orthopaedics which were very fruitful.
It was a dream come true for me when the then Hon. Secretary of Odisha chapter Dr. N. C. Mohapatra broke this news
of my selection as the IOA Ambassador to Singapore for the year 2015.
It's the greatest honour for me, and I am immensely thankful to all the members and office bearers of our great
association for bestowing this up on me. I extend my heartfelt gratitude towards the Chairman of Foreign Fellowship
Committee Dr. A. K. Gupta and Co-chairman Dr. N. C. Mohapatra.
I also take this opportunity to thank our President Dr. H. R. Jhunjhunwala and President-elect Dr. Sudhir K. Kapoor who
has been my teacher, mentor and guide for many years.
As an IOA Ambassador I was to represent our association in the 38th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Singapore
Orthopaedic Association from 15th-17th October 2015 and present a research paper. Almost six months in advance I
had communication from the Singapore Orthopaedic Association to submit my abstract. As the theme for this
conference was "Trauma for all ages", I choose a topic titled - "Minimising complications in high-energy pilon fractures -
An evidence based treatment algorithm".
Months flew by with excitement, planning and preparation of the lecture. By the time October arrived, my family
including my parents, wife and two sons (aged 5 and 1 year) were all set to travel to Singapore with me.
Singapore is an awe-inspiring city and an experience of lifetime. The conference was to be held at the Grand Copthrone
Waterfront Hotel and the organizers had taken care of every detail. I was received at the airport and placed at the
Copthrone Kings Hotel, an extremely comfortable abode just adjacent to the conference venue.
The SOA annual Scientific Meeting started on the 15th morning. My registration procedures were already completed by
the organizers. The scientific sessions started after the welcome address of the President of SOA Dr. David Chua. It
was a rare opportunity to listen to many prominent faculties from around the world under one roof like Dr. Michael
McKee, Dr. Michael Blauth, Dr. Martin Haussmann, Dr, Bernard Morrey and many others. But the biggest attractions of
the conference were talks by the great Joseph Schatzker himself. One has to be really fortunate to meet all these
stalwarts first hand.
My presentation was included in the session for 'Travelling Fellows and Exchange Ambassador program' on the
second day of the meeting in the post-lunch session. Many other fellows from various countries were also there to share
their experiences. The session was chaired by Dr. Krishna Lingaraj and Dr. Gamaliel Tan. It was heartening to see Dr.
Sanjay Jain sitting in the hall and it was a great gesture of encouragement. The chairpersons as well as the delegates
showed a great deal of interest in my topic and it generated a good ten minutes of debate too. It was a wonderful feeling
to speak in front of such a learned audience and a proud moment to cherish for a lifetime. Later I was also invited to the
lavish President's dinner and the Banquette along with my wife. Indeed, no amount of thankfulness can be enough for
the hospitality I enjoyed, offered by the Singapore Orthopaedic Association.
After three days of brainstorming scientific debate, it was time for some sightseeing with family. Singapore is beautiful, a
very well-organized city with many attractions for the young and old alike. After three more days of fun, shopping,
adventure and visits to friends I bid farewell to Singapore and headed home.
This fellowship was an eye-opener for a young orthopaedic surgeon like me. I could meet great scholars of the
fraternity, as well as many contemporary young surgeons working in various hospitals in Singapore. There are many
things they do differently from us and there was a lot to be learned from the way they approach their patient and their
management, their work ethics, meticulousness, discipline and their inclination towards research and development
activities. This experience is definitely going to give a boost to my clinical approach and orientation towards research. I
am also sharing this unique experience of mine with my departmental colleagues and PG students and working
towards developing our department to meet such international standards. Our PG trainees seem really encouraged by
this fellowship of mine and are looking forward to such opportunities in future.
I urge to all my colleagues, juniors and students in India to apply for such fellowships made available by our great
association and take these wonderful opportunities to visit world class centres of excellence and get enlightened by
such experiences.
I finish my report by thanking God Almighty and all the people of our association who made it possible for me to avail this
IOA-SOA Ambassadorship.
Thank you all., Long live IOA.
God Bless.

I take this opportunity to thank Indian Orthopaedic association for selecting me for IOA-WOC fellowship for the
year 2015. I started my fellowship on 2nd November 2015 at Bone and Joint Institute, Medanta, The Medicity,
Gurgaon. I did my fellowship under supervision of Dr Vikas Gupta, Director of Hand and Upper Extremity
division, Medanta Bone & Joint Institute for a period of three weeks. It was a very nice experience to have
worked with such a wonderful surgeon at this premier hospital and experience the professional working
atmosphere of one of the best hospitals in India.
I learnt many procedures like shoulder arthroplasty, neglected perilunate dislocation reduction with suture
anchor application, elbow replacement, neglected fracture non union of distal humerus, TFCC reconstructions,
Gamekeeper's thumb and many more surgeries. I assisted in many surgeries during my stay in Medanta and
learnt the importance of staying calm during the surgery and to do the procedure meticulously.
I was also present during the morning class session where the resident would do the presentation in front of all
the faculty members. I would also attend the OPDs in between the OTs and saw the follow ups of operated
patients of elbow replacement, TFCC repair, Mallet finger, arthrolysis of elbow, kienbock's disease etc. I
observed the physiotherapy protocol of these patients and learnt its importance like never before.
I also made friends with many faculty members there, namely Dr Akram Jawed and Dr Ram who were very
cooperative and made my stay pleasant in the institute. I can proudly say in future that I was associated with this
institute at least once in my life even if briefly. I again thank Indian orthopaedic association (IOA) for giving me
this precious opportunity that shall definitely leave an imprint in my life to follow. In the end I can't stop reciting
the famous lines “And miles to go before I sleep”.

Inauguration of 4th IOA – PGT Course 2015 by Faculty and Students at 4th IOA –
Health Minister Mr. Sharad Jain. Post Graduate Teaching Course 2015
The TAMILNADU report on the Bone and Joint Day Observance as part of Indian Bone and Joint Day.
At the outset we wish to thank our son of the soil and Past president TNOA and IOA for having initiated and
obtained the Government's nod to observe the 4th of August every year as the Indian Bone and Joint day.
The day also marks the signing of the IOA Charter.
Though year after year the week long observance had been done in a routine manner, we are thankful to the
President IOA, Dr. Jhunjhunwala and Hon. Secretary, IOA, Dr. Sanjay Jain and our CSRC Chairmen, Dr.
Dhirendra and Dr. Deepak Shah far having given us a theme and direction for the year's programmes- “Road
safety-Follow Road Rules”
Just as the parent body did, we immediately followed by forming the TN Bone and Joint Whatsapp group, which
was the live wire of the entire programme. Instead of the routine Official Office Bearers taking it down, this year
we decided to start the entire programme by involving the individual member on a personal basis though the 14
affiliated ORTHO CLUBS. In fact this was the major reason for the astounding success of the programme and
TNOA salutes and thanks each and every member for this.
A detailed research was done on the issue of road safety and loss of precious lives and it was decided to have a
focus on the number of deaths – 16 per hour – happening in India due to Road Traffic Accidents and failing to
follow road rules. The National Common Logo for the programme was adopted and a uniform backdrop and
title with the logos of IOA, TNOA and Road safety were formed and sent to all zones to be followed for
uniformity.
Though the observance was to be for a week, considering the impact we embarked on a month long
observance and earnestly started our programme from July 2nd itself with one of our EC Member Dr. Francis
Roy initiating a 2000km Bike rally to create awareness on the importance of wearing helmet.
The following is the report of all the programmes conducted.
A decision was made to have the following programmes for the 29th July to 4th AUGUST programmes to be
conducted on given days through out Tamilnadu for uniformity.
To summaries, the Tamilnadu Orthopaedic Association created enough awareness to the extent that the
people took part directly in the programmes, media and print media were vociferous in their highlighting of the
programme and most of all it was one occasion where each and every one of the TNOA Members took pride in
participating.
We also reiterate that the target of 70,000 school children will be achieved shortly.
Apology / Mistake Correction: Dr Subhasis Ranjan Mitra & Dr Rajendra Prakash Jauhari
It is highly unfortunate that an obituary was printed in the IOA News Letter “IOA News 2o15 Vol. 6o Issue
III / August 2o15 – November 2o15 / Page No. 128 / Serial number: 205 / Title: Tribute to Indian Orthopod
WHO ARE NOT WITH US by mistake”.
In compliance to communication received from the Hon. Secretary and information of his well being his
name is hereby removed from the list of obituaries. We wish Dr Subhasis Ranjan Mitra and Dr Rajendra
Prakash Jauhari long & healthy life forever & ever.
The editorial board seeks apology from all concerned for this grave mistake.
Dear Friends,
I am very happy that the 3rd International Conference of the Geriatric Orthopedic Society of India – GOSICON-2016,
held at Le Meridian, Bangalore from Oct 9th to 11th 2015 was a grand success. In this conference, the best of
international, national and local orthopedic luminaries who are well known figures in the treatment of geriatric
patients participated and a wide range of topics were discussed. The prestigious GOSI oration was delivered by Dr
Anand Nanu, President Elect-2017, and British Orthopedic Association. There was a unique session on Passion
Show which was widely appreciated by the delegates. Here Orthopedic Surgeons were given an opportunity to
show case their achievements outside their field. I spoke on my passion for Music and Dr Roshan spoke on his
passion for bikes and Dr. Shankar Kashyap of UK spoke on his passion for Harappa Civilization. On Sunday a Bone
Model Workshop was conducted by Dr Shankar Kashyap, Dr Roysam from UK and Dr Chakravarthy from Manipal
Hospital Bangalore which was well attended. This year's GOSI Life Achievement Award was conferred on Dr N
Muralidhar, HOD Orthopedics, Vydehi Medical College, Bangalore.
Geriatric Orthopedic Problems have assumed great significance in the recent times due to the ever increasing
geriatric population thanks to the increase in the life expectancy of people across the globe and India. Bulk of an
orthopedic surgeons practice involves this population. The challenge in treating a geriatric patient is different due to
the associated multiple co-morbidities, co-musculoskeletal conditions and psychosocial problems. Treating a
geriatric patient demands special skills. I started GOSI with an intention of creating a forum which focuses on
training the orthopedic surgeons to gear up to the challenges of managing a geriatric orthopedic patient.
With three International Conferences, more than 400 life members and a record number of 6 CME's being
conducted all over the World and India at Bangalore, Dhaka, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Eluru and Leh Ladakh since
March 2015 and we are all set to enter into the record books as the most successful new orthopedic body ever in
India. We plan to start our own research, fellowships, and journal and exchange programs. We also plan to form
guidelines and protocols in the management of geriatric orthopedic problems and fragility fractures.
I thank you all for attending this year conference in large numbers and making it a grand success. We could not have
achieved it without your active participation and support. Next year conference is going to be bigger and better and it
is being held outside Bangalore for the first time as lots of members are showing interest in conducting GOSICON in
their places. Dr. Sanjeev Patnaik will be organizing the 4th International Conference at Bhubaneswar, Orissa from

delegates making it unprecedented number till date. The organizing committee left no stone unturned to do
preparation with a keen attention to details.
The total delegates registered were more than 6800 which was an unprecedented number. The Conference
saw participants coming from 34 different countries which included 51 International faculties, 90 National
faculties and 101 International participants. And add to it accompanying guests and trade persons, the true
dimensions of the Mega event were conspicuous. The fervent and passionate response gave the organizers
not only necessary boost but also gave them the huge task of hosting and taking care of such a staggering
number of delegates. The conference was attended by President / Representatives of the British Orthopaedic
Association, Singapore Orthopaedic Association, Thai Orthopaedic Association, Bangladesh Orthopaedic
Association, Hong Kong Orthopaedic Association, Ireland Orthopaedic Association, President and Secretary,
IOS- UK.
First time in history, more than 1500 free papers and 700 posters were received and were subjected to blind
peer reviewing by esteemed expert of their respective fields. The abstract management software was
improved in many aspects thus maintaining double blind methodology. In line with ideology of keeping all
official materials on IOA website, the software was maintained their itself. In addition, Face book discussion
forum with live exchanges and Mobile-App with real-time updates were developed specifically for the
conference. After final selections of free papers, guest lectures and symposium, scientific committee (Dr
Rakesh Bhargava, Dr Jayant Sen and Dr Arun Kumar Sharma) were hard at work to adjust and accommodate
the best speakers and academicians and streamline the scientific program.
For the first time in history, the registration rates were kept lesser then previous editions despite rising cost and
inflation. Likewise all unmarried children of registered couples were given free registration. All senior citizens
and executive committee members were also given complementary registrations.
Parking had been arranged for 2500 cars of the delegates and Transportation was arranged for all from the
hotels to the venue and the parking lots to the venue. The registration counters numbering more than 25 were

The main conference were preceded by workshops which included basic & advanced hip, basic & advanced
knee, foot & ankle, arthroscopy (upper & lower limb) Ilizarov and Pediatric Orthopedics. The registrations for
conference were full, well before curtains were raised so had to be closed 2 months in advance. All workshops
were attended by doyens and stalwarts of respective fields as faculty and instructors. The world famous
osteotomy surgeon Dr Alex Staubli conducted HTO workshop along with Dr HR Jhunjhunwala and a huge
number of delegates learned the art directly from master.
All workshop carried the same agenda where main focus was on practical aspect of the specialty and all faculty
put forth their first hand experience by mean of live video, saw bone model, live surgery etc .In essence all
workshops were a vibrant combination where both faculty and the participants interacted toward a very healthy
scientific pursuit.
IOACON PG Teaching were attended by more than 250 students and Dr PP Kotwal, Dr Alok C Agrawal, Dr
Narendra Joshi and Dr Arun Kumar Sharma were able to bring all National and International faculty on board to
share their pearl of wisdom with budding ortho postgraduate students. Prof SM Tuli sharing his views and
teachings on bone infection and tuberculosis was pinnacle moment of this year pg teaching.
