Knee MR-Radiology Workshop

The backbone of any knee pathology or cartilage lesion treatment is a good diagnosis which largely depends on a good MRI scan and a good MRI reporting. As Joint Preservation Surgeons, we always face a challenge of proper assessment of knee pathologies and cartilage lesions. Along with this, a level-understanding between the MR-Radiologist and the Surgeon is equally important. The MR-Radiologist must know the expectations of the Surgeon and vice versa. We are very happy to announce a half day dedicated Knee MR Radiology Workshop, a first of its kind in Asia. It is designed to improve understanding and coordination between the Surgeon and the MR-Radiologist. The best part is that this workshop will be conducted by the top-most MR-Radiologists in the World, Dr Seigfried Trattnig from Austria and Dr Steven Wong from Singapore. They will be joined by the top-notch selected Indian faculties as well. Not to mention, we plan to cover all nooks and corners of the knee joint which are often thought of, but rarely reported with a confidence.

The workshop will be a half day workshop from breakfast to lunch on 24th January 2025 at the conference venue itself. We encourage MR-Radiologists to bring their arthroscopy surgeon colleague and vice versa; so that in clinical practice you can understand each other better.

Orthobiologics Workshop

Orthobiologics is in vogue and all of us want to transfer the benefit of this amazing technology to our patients. But more is said than done. We have many products in orthobiologics which has a great potential, and we have many indications where we are looking for a robust treatment option. But we don’t understand which fits where in this jig-saw puzzle. It is time to have in-depth discussions which should be different from routine plenary talks. We want delegates and faculties to discuss with open mind; share personal experience with robust data, show evidence based clinical results and discuss ifs and buts of this intriguing technology. A special workshop is planned just for that, and all are welcome to join it. Our top-notch faculty will join with you in this special workshop where international experts will rub shoulder with Indian experts.
