From the Desk of President - IOA

Dear Colleagues,
I am writing to you for the last time as the I0A President.
It has indeed been a very fulfilling and satisfying year: not only for me as your President but also for our association too. We
have made our presence felt in the international arena of orthopedics. The year began with India being invited to the
American Academy as the Guest Nation. The symposium conducted by the IOA team, on neglected trauma, was greatly
appreciated. Its success can be gauged from the fact that the President of the Canadian Orthopedic Association, who was
amongst the audience, invited the IOA to run a similar symposium in their Annual Conference in 2018.
My next two visits were to U.K. for the BIOS Conference in Carlisle and the BOA conference at Liverpool. Our contingent
was well received, and a serious dialogue has been initiated by me with the respective Presidents and authorities to permit
FRCS students of British Universities to complete their training in India. Japan & Australia were next on my itinerary where I
was accorded due respect befitting an international President. The last visit during my tenure has been to South Africa for
SICOT World Congress.
Nationally too I have had the good fortune to visit fourteen of our states starting with Rajasthan and ending with
Maharashtra my birth place. All my colleagues whoever I met Pan India have not only helped me but promised to keep alive
the work started in 2017.
The mentorship programmed is in full swing. The I0A – Ortho mobile App is functional. A true leap in the future!! With the
App, each Orthopod has the Medicolegal cell at his fingertips; all information related to Orthopedics and financial advice
through a Certified advisor 24/7 (MFA).
The voting system has been 65% online this year saving our association around INR 3 Lakhs. The ladies ortho wing with
a membership of 85 has been started this year. The bone and joint day on 4th August was celebrated with enthusiasm by you
all, by performing free surgeries. Dr. K. Maheshwari has released and distributed emergency protocols on this day which will
soon be available on the I0A App.
Maharashtra under my guidance and with the help of dynamic young orthopods have started Pediatric Orthopedic free
surgical & camps in various district hospital. These have been facilitated by the State Government and the necessary
Liaoning was done by me. I am hoping the same formula can be used in other states in the future.
Last but not the least me and my team are hoping to see you at Indore, Madhya Pradesh from 26th December – 31st
December where a scientific feast awaits you all.
I wish to acknowledge the co – operation of Hon- secretary Dr. Sanjay Jain, the past president Dr. Sudhir Kapoor and all
the ex. com members of IOA. Special thanks to executive officer Mr. Ramesh Pandey and the office staff for their constant
help throughout the year. Warm welcome to the incoming president Dr. Mandeep Dhillon and wishing him and his team all the
best.
Thank you for your yearlong co-operation; and the warmth you all have extended to me.
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Ram Prabhoo

President, IOA

From the Desk of President-Elect - IOA

The IOA Newsletter 2017 edition is being released at IOACON 2017, and I greet and
welcome you all to this annual event. The proposed changes for Newsletter, like having just
an online form for those who want it, will reduce the printing costs and postage so
significantly, that we could possibly use the same funds for educating our youngsters
I plan to start my Presidency in 2018 by focusing on the education ideals that so many
youngsters aspire for, but are unable to achieve due to correct guidance.
As I have previously stated, the ideas of President IOA 2017, Dr Ram Prabhoo, fortunately
coincide with many of mine, and it is with this thought in mind that I am confident that I will be
able to take forward the goals set for us by the past presidents, and meet the aspirations of
the younger fraternity in the future.
Due to the amazing skillets, the enthusiasm and the drive of many senior surgeons, I hope
that I am able to give opportunity for training to many aspirants, especially the younger lot; if
allowed to do so I want to introduce many fellowships, both in India and abroad, provided
sanction is given by the executive committee. IOA can combine with other specialty
organizations to do this, or with relevant sponsors, so that young surgeons are exposed to
wider horizons in India and abroad
Please give us all (the IOA Executive) the opportunity of welcoming all members to Indore at
IOACON 2017, where Dr Taneja and his team have promised us an academic and social
extravaganza.
With warm regards,
Dr. Mandeep Dhillon

Patient - Doctors Relationship in five minutes in

19b) Dr Jose Chellan – IOA Life Member – LM-08584;
suspend / terminate / removal of his name from
IOA: Dr Ram Prabhoo / Dr Sanjay Jain
Hon. Secretary Dr. Sanjay Jain read out the letter of
Dr Mayilvahanan Natarajan written to Dr Ram
Prabhoo with copy to Hon. Secretary & Past
President of IOA on last week of July 2o17 with
concern to Dr Jose Chellan, a life member of IOA as
LM08584.
I am writing to you regarding Dr. Jose Chellan who
is a life member of IOA (LM-8584) from Tamil Nadu
since 2011. Dr. Jose Chellan with a UG qualification
from Russia (M.D. Russia) Recognised by MCI,
was working as a Medical Officer in a Private
Hospital in Chennai Where I Was Practising.

49
I was led to believe that his post graduate qualification from a Russian University (Rostov State Medical
University, Russia) was recognized by MCI. Hence I proposed his name for Life Membership of IOA in
2011
During the recent scrutiny by the Tamil Nadu Medical Council on unqualified medical practitioners, it
was found that the UG qualification from Russia is recognized by MCI, But the PG Orthopaedic
qualification from Russia of Dr. Jose Chellan was noT recognized by MCI As he was practicing
independently with a board as orthopaedic Surgeon, His name was removed from the Tamil Nadu
Medical Council and he was debarred from practicing even as a UG doctor (For a Period of 1 year).
Subsequently until he gets a PG qualification recognized by MCI in India, he is not a qualified
orthopaedic surgeon and hence is not to practice as an orthopaedic surgeon.
I am bringing these developments to your kind notice for your appropriate and necessary action
regarding his life membership in Indian orthopaedic Association.
With regards,
Yours Sincerely,
(Dr. Mayilvahanan Natarajan)

Copy to: 1.Dr. Sanjay Jain, M.S. Ortho., Hon. Secretary, and I.O.A.
2. Dr Sudhir Kapoor, M.S. Ortho., Past President, I.O.A.
EC decided to put this matter to Ethics & Protocol committee of IOA for necessary & appropriate action
against Dr Jose Chellan regarding his life membership in Indian orthopaedic Association. His detail with
IOA is as:

09840849715, 8056029715

CHENNAI - 600094 TAMIL NADU 8056029715
19c) Dr. Mandeep S. Dhillon- Proposals from President Elect, IOA

Dr. Sanjay Jain read out the letter of Dr Mandeep Singh Dhillon in his absence as:
1. Continuation of Yuva program 100% with you; May even plan to expand if successful
2. Increasing fellowships for Youngsters abroad by IOA own funds or getting sponsors. Minimum
20-30 more, all with other associations, Indian or International, like BOA, EFORT, Australia, and
Japan etc. Maybe some with AO, as AO will have no issues if we fund them. We can also talk to
AADO
3. Discontinuation of IOA printed newsletter; this will reduce cost by??60 lakhs per year minimum
(not sure, but it will be significant) those who opt for printed one should send request to IOA
office; all others to get email pdf copy. Get pdf files. This money should be spent on fellowships
for Yuva people to go internationally. 1 lakh per fellow should be planned. AO Fellow needs 1.8
lakhs i.e. 3000 US dollars and he can be an AO fellow also 30 more fellows can go out yearly.
4. Association with AO Trauma, like we did for AAOS and BOS, for 2018 Coimbatore IOACON
meeting. We can have an AO session, maybe even AO Trauma and AO recon combined. If
agreed we will have to inform them a year in advance.
5. Fixing the date for the annual conference; this is an international norm, for all societies, and we
should also have it fixed, like 2nd week of December or something. Then people from India and
worldwide can plan accordingly. Changing it around causes a lot of issues.

50
6. Ensuring representation from at least 6 International Associations every year, with their
Presidents being our Guests. We can even pay for their travel, as most International
Associations do
This will project IOA on the International stage. China invited 50 associations every year!!!!
We can even invite specialist societies, in addition to National Bodies, Like SICOT, AO, and
EFORT as is the norm
Regional Asian countries Presidents like Lanka, Burma, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan,
Malaysia, and Singapore should be all called. Even China this projects our importance as a
regional Ortho Power
7. Reduce number of Halls in IOACON, and restrict Stall opening times to afternoons. Also have a
method of ensuring attendance by scanning badges. This is done in China, where many are
Govt sponsored and they have to attend 70 % of sessions to get CMR awards. We may limit to
even 60%.
8. Clarification on online & ballot paper voting in IOA election 2o17. I believe that despite the
discussion at the GBM last year at Kochi where it was pointed out by many and clarified by Dr
Sudhir Kapoor that no ballots would be posted to those who have registered to vote online and
did so last year, this has not been clarified in the minutes.
Dr Ram Prabhoo welcomed the Continuation of Yuva program, increasing fellowships for
Youngsters abroad, Association with AO Trauma, Ensuring representation from at least 6
International Associations every year, Reduce number of Halls in IOACON. Matter of IOA
printed newsletter was already discussed in agenda point No. o5. Honorary Secretary’s report.
Hon. Secretary informed the date of IOACON as per blue book is 1st week of December & this
can be changed in extraordinary circumstances by two weeks before or after.
On the matter of clarification on online & ballot paper voting in IOA election 2o17; EC agreed to
send the video clip of GBM with concern to IOA election 2o17 to- President, Hon. Secretary,
President Elect, Vice President, and Past President of IOA. After listening to that, they will
decide & their decision will be final on online & ballot paper voting in IOA election 2o17.
19d) Dr. Rakesh Kanaujia’s observation.
Hon. Secretary read out the letter of Dr RC Kanaujia of MOA. President of Maharashtra Orthopaedic
Association Dr Rakesh Chandra Kanaujia expressed his observations during the various meeting of
IOA viz GBM of IOACON 2o16 @ Kochi, CSRC meeting @ New Delhi April 2017, world record of

National Symposium on Musculoskeletal Tuberculosis @ Raipur
Held on 30.07.2017 @ AIIMS, Raipur

Introduction: Tuberculosis is an age old disease infecting
almost all organs of the body. This disease has survived the
history of mankind. We find exhaustive description in Ancient
Indian Literature including Rigveda, Atharvaveda (3500-1800)
BC, Sushrut and Charak Samhita (1000-600) BC. Sir Percival
Pott described tuberculosis of spinal column in 1719 and
Laennec discussed the tubercle (1781-1826).
In spite of whole hearted efforts by government and health
personnel to eradicate tuberculosis, the mycobacteria has
survived and now it is coming in a more severe form with
emergence of multi drug resistant tuberculosis and HIV
associated XDR tuberculosis. The disease continues to affect
different parts of the body including the musculoskeletal system.
Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a public health problem in both
developing and industrialized countries. TB can involve
pulmonary as well as extra pulmonary sites. The musculoskeletal
system is involved in 1-3% of patients with tuberculosis. Although
musculoskeletal TB has become uncommon in the western
world, it remains a huge problem in Asia, Africa, and many
developing countries. Tuberculous spondylitis is the most
common form of musculoskeletal TB and accounts for
approximately 50% of cases. Extra spinal musculoskeletal TB
shows a predilection for large joints (hip and knee) and para-
articular areas; isolated soft tissue TB is extremely rare. Early
diagnosis and prompt treatment are mandatory to prevent
serious destruction of joints and skeletal deformity. The disease
runs a nonspecific and often indolent clinical presentation and
hence the diagnosis is often delayed.
Aim of the symposium: The Symposium was organized with
the following aims:
1. To acquaint & train the participants about -
Basic sciences of microbiology and pharmacology of
mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Epidemiology and Magnitude of this problem.
Difficulties in obtaining tissue diagnosis.
Newer guidelines in the management of musculoskeletal
TB.
Complications of musculoskeletal tuberculosis.
Rehabilitation and prognosis of musculoskeletal
tuberculosis.
To highlight the initiatives of government and RNTCP
to deal with problem of tuberculosis especially
musculoskeletal tuberculosis and acquaint participants
with latest concepts in early proper diagnosis and
treatment of this disease.

IOA – WOC Fellowship 2o16-17: Dr. Sohael Mohammed Khan
I, Dr. Sohael Mohammed Khan, joined Dr L H Hiranandani Hospital on 1st July

2017, as a Fellow in Spine Surgery under the guidance of Dr. Pradeep K Singh.
I would like to thank Dr. Pradeep K Singh for providing with an opportunity to
work and learn under his guidance. I am grateful to Indian Orthopaedic
Association to consider me for this prestigious fellowship.
Training (01st July 2017 to 15th August 2017)
On first day of my Spine Fellowship at Dr. L H Hiranandani Hospital, I got a
warm welcome from the HR Department. Then I was briefed with the working
pattern of the Dr. Pradeep K Singh. I met my Fellowship Mentor Dr. Dr.
Pradeep K Sigh. On my first day I went to the OPD and observed the way Dr.
Singh used to examine the patients. The first day OPD started at 11:00 AM and
finished at night 09:30 PM. Next day the day started at 09:00 AM with morning
short class followed by rounds. After rounds I went to OT were on the 1st day of
my OT I got scrubbed as a First Assistant to Dr. Pradeep K Singh sir. The first
OT, which I observed, was Endoscopic Discectomy at L3 – L4 Level.
Everyday Dr. Pradeep Singh used to give a small assignment for the next day's
morning class. I found this morning class to be very helpful. Every day there
were different activities, which included Case Presentations, Research
Activity, Pre – op and post – op Case discussions, journal Club, Recent
Advances, Article Reading and many more. On the day of OT day the cases
that were posted were discussed before going to Operation Theatre in Dr.
Pradeep Singh Sirs cabin and he used to ask me the plan of action and how to
start the case. This microteaching helped me in operative planning and helped
me to think beyond.
At the end of my 3rd week of training, I had learned many new things. I use to
see OPD patients on my own and I was able to present case in front of Dr.
Pradeep K Singh. I had many doubts regarding the treatment and
management of some patients, but Dr. Singh used to guide me all the time.
From Dr. Singh I also learned that a good Spine Surgeon not only gives the
best available treatment to his patients, but also knows why it is the best
treatment and how to achieve the best outcomes.
The morning class was very informative pre-op meeting and interesting cases,
I learned a lot to know how to make decisions for every case and what the goal
is and reasons behind it. I would say that this was the most important periodic event, which contributed to
majority of my learning. So I learned not only the technique but also the idea of management. What you can do,
what you should do and what is the best way you choose, that is very important. I have changed some of my idea. As
a Fellow I was allowed to scrub in and join at the table for assistance in the cases of spine surgery. I had nearly
assisted all type of Spine Cases in this 6 week of Fellowship. I got scrubbed for Atlantoaxial Dislocation, Potts Spine
Dorsal and Lumbar Vertebra, Lumbar Disc Diseases, Endoscopic Spine Surgeries, Anterior Cervical Surgeries,
PLIF/TLIF and Microscopic & Minimal Invasive Procedures. I learnt many new techniques and tips in spine surgery. I
had the chance to improve my skills and I need to say it was a conceptual awakening for me in many aspects. I
believe this 6-week fellowship will improve the quality of research, patient care, operative skills and my academic
carrier.
I am very thankful to Dr. Pradeep K Singh for his generosity, the vision and the opportunity that he has given me. It
was overall great experience learning from Dr. Pradeep K Singh who is a very pleasant and skilful surgeon. He is
always guiding, encouraging. He is a very amicable person and has a very helping attitude so I could talk anything
with him freely. When I had earlier sent him a request for Fellowship he was very happy to guide me. Most of the
subjects of what we talked were the diagnosis, examination, treatment and rehabilitation of spine diseases. He also
asked me for my opinion on the treatment plan for the patient sometimes. When I told him about my ideas, he would
tell me his plan and his reasons.

left for Mumbai on the evening of Christmas.
Mumbai – December 26th to 30th, 2016
We are thankful to Dr Sanjay Dhar, Secretary of BOS, for facilitating our travel and accommodation
arrangements in Mumbai. We were divided into two groups for visiting various centres of excellence during our
fellowship in Mumbai. One group visited the esteemed King Edward Memorial Medical College on the first day.
Dr Shubhranshu Mohanty, Professor and Head of Orthopaedics at KEM, talked about pre-op templating in hip
arthroplasty. He also demonstrated the trochanteric wiring technique for fixation of the greater trochanter

revision hip arthroplasty with femoral allograft for a case of post septic hip and an operated case of total knee
replacement following malunited distal femur fracture. In the theatre we saw cases of arthroscopic ACL

119
reconstruction by Dr Ravi Mittal and three spine cases by Dr Bhavuk Garg – lumbar discectomy, TLIF and
scoliosis correction. The journey ended with a nice dinner hosted by the Delhi Orthopaedic Association
especially for us where we met successful orthopaedic surgeons from Delhi.
To improvise the J&J Fellowship Programme, few suggestions we would like to make are:
Better coordination between state association and hospital: at few centers we were informed that they had no
information about our arrival so they were not prepared.
Better travel arrangement within the states: as all of us were travelling for more than three weeks we had a lot of
luggage, we found it difficult to travel in certain cities. We were told to take Ola cabs and deposit all the receipts
later for reimbursement in Mumbai.
During the fellowship, our mentors asked us if we received the J&J Blazer Batch from IOA. Please provide the
Blazer Batch as we feel that this is a prestigious fellowship which will be remembered and highly cherished
throughout our lives whenever we wear the IOA J&J Blazer during any IOA meeting.
We would like to also thank the IOA President, Hon Secretary- Dr Sanjay Jain, Executive Committee, Inland
Fellowship Selection Committee and IOA Office Bearers for making our stay in IOA worth remembering.
Special thanks to Dr Sanjay Jain and Mr Ramesh C Pandey for planning and facilitating our fellowship itinerary,
they were in constant touch with us to make sure that our journey was trouble free. Our fellowship really
became smooth with your efforts. Once again thanks to IOA for making all four of us to meet each other without
you this association would not have been possible.
Warm Thanks,

IOA - BIOS Junior Fellowship 2017: Dr. Sudeep Kumar
Before fellowship started - Communication through email was started

by Dr. Sanjay Jain (IOA Secretary) and then was further carried on very
smoothly by Mr. Nikhil Shah and Mr. B. Singh. Mr. Shah issued me the
supporting letter for the visa and I applied and subsequently managed
to get the same. Mr. Shah also created a what's app group which
helped us to coordinate better. Once the venue was decided
(Leicester) by BIOS team, Mr Maneesh Bhatia Pitched in. We started
corresponding with him and with his help and support we managed to
get our accommodation sorted within the hospital premises. We also
got our investigations done as per instruction from Mr Bhatia's
secretary for the HR formalities and that helped us in getting us started
the very day we went to Leicester without wasting any time.
Mr. Bhatia discussed with us regarding our interests and as to what we
would like to see and learn at Leicester General Hospital (LGH).
When we started at LGH Mr. Bhatia had already done some planning
and according to our interests (which varied from revision HIPs and
Knees to shoulder arthroscopy) he had spoken to some of his
colleagues who had kept the cases as per our interests and
requirements.
I personally saw around 7 revision Total knee replacements. 5 of them
were one stage and 2 of them were 2nd stage of the two stage revision.
Although I had prior idea about the semi constrained and fully
constrained implants and had done some cadaveric courses last year
in Bangkok but seeing it live on a patient was completely different. I saw
DePuy and Zimmer revision knee implants and got a very clear picture
not only how to decide upon size, limitations with different designs, how
to assemble them and how to implant a revision component but also
how to take out the implant as well. Consultants – Mr. Asler, Mr. Korim
and Mr. Davison were kind in taking me thorough every step of revision
and discussing the pros and cons of what they were doing and sharing
their experiences.
I also managed to see on Unicondylar knee being changed to total
knee and lots of confusion that I had about difficulty in revising uni knee
was cleared that day.
I also saw some primary knee replacements and consultants Mr.
Godsiff was very meticulous in explaining some of his tips and tricks
during the entire surgery.
I managed to see one Unicondylar knee replacement as well which
was done very smoothly and very nicely.
I did manage to see some cemented total hip arthroplasty and it was
quite nice to see the cementing technique that was being used. It
reconfirmed my believe in the practice of cementing which I am using in
my setup, as they were similar to those done at LGH. I did learn a few
tips for further improvement though.
I also managed to see couple of revision total hips and on

121
Periprosthetic fracture which was very nicely managed by Mr. Kulkarni.
A nice dissection and nicely done wiring – a complicated procedure
made simple.
I was also fortunate to see one proximal femoral replacement by Mr.
Boyd. It was a case of a metastatic prostate cancer and Mr. Boyd very
meticulously took me through the entire procedure and he did
everything effortlessly, quickly without any kind of rush.
I also managed to see one MPFL reconstruction by Mr. Tandon and he
also took me through the entire procedure and discussed in detail
about his method of doing things.
I also saw some very nice foot and ankle surgery by Mr. Bhatia. We
managed to see ankle scopy and arthroscopy assisted ankle fusion.
Something that can I was looking to try but was not able to gather
enough courage. But after seeing it live I think I can do it. We also saw
1st MTP fusion, Revision of 1st MTP spacer and one Lateral collateral
ligament reconstruction of ankle joint.
We managed to saw one very good surgery by Mr. Ullah. He operated upon a Malunion of distal radius. He
osteotomised the distal radius and fixed it with locking plate with bone graft. He manages this case beautifully
and showed his trick of putting the plate first in the distal fragment and deviating it ulna ward. By doing this one
can not only correct the loss in radial inclination but can also can maintain the length as well. A very nicely
performed surgery and lot of things to learn from.
I also managed to venture into shoulder surgery one afternoon where we managed to interact and witnessed
some very interesting surgery by Miss Armstrong. She showed us arthroscopy release of frozen shoulder,
Bankart repair and one rotator cuff repair. All arthroscopic. It was very nice of her to take us through every step
of her surgeries and managing the challenges as they were arising during the course of surgery.
The theatre staffs of all the theatre at LGH were very cooperative. They were regularly interacting with us and
were making us feel very much part of the team.
We finished at Leicester on 13th of July and we reached Carlisle on 14th to attend the mega event, annual BIOS
meeting. I had my poster presentation and one podium presentation. We managed to listen to some very good
research work and presentations from all around UK. It was heartening to see that the evidence are not taken
on their face value but are being routinely tested and verified to suit the local conditions. My design was
selected for podium presentation (as a best two design) and my poster was also selected for podium
presentation (4 out of 25 odd posters displayed). We also meet lots of Indian origin Orthopaedics consultants
based in various parts of UK. It was great interacting with them and learning from their experience.
I headed back after the conference to London for my journey back home, with lots of new things and ideas in my
head. Learned a lot and hope to use some of it in my practice. I am sure this will benefit my patients and overall
outcome. I wish to pass on this knowledge and experience acquired during my fellowship to my trainees and my
colleagues back home.
We also had good time beyond work. We went to dinner with Mr. Bhatia and one day with him and his registrar
as well. We also made few friends and went on outing with them as well.
It was overall a great experience and from the bottom of my heart I would like to thanks Indian Orthopaedics
Association for selecting me and British India Orthopaedics Society, UK for beautifully and meticulously
coordinating and organising this fellowship in Leicester.
Kind regards
Sudeep Kumar

IOA – AOA Exchange Fellowship 2o17: Dr HR Jhunjhunwala
Australian Orthopaedic Association Conference or a meeting was between 8th October to

12th October 2017 at Adelaide. Myself and Dr. Joshi of Dehradun reached Adelaide at 10 AM
in morning on 8th October 2017. Fortunately, my stay was just opposite to the convention
centre which was the Conference Venue. On 8th, I got my Registration from the counter. It
took just 5 minutes.
• On the same day evening, there was President's Dinner at the Cricket Club of Adelaide.
The Cricket Stadium was huge and Marvelous to see and enjoy. The Dinner was in a Part
of Stadium and it was Fantastic Dinner. I met few known and unknown friends.
• The Scientific Programme was very good. It was in 4-Different Halls. The Largest Hall
was for Arthroplasty, Others were for Arthroscopy, Foot and Ankle, Hand and Wrist,
Spine and Trauma.
• All the Scientific Programme was Full of Guest Lectures and Symposia. There were no
free papers and hence our papers were not selected.
• The Scientific Programme started exactly at 8 AM. All the Speakers were absolutely in time and there was enough
time for discussion.
• There was Lunch time between 1 PM to 2 PM and Good Lunch was arranged in the Industrial Exhibition
Hall. So that, everybody could pip in different stalls. Most important was Strikers and Zimmer Biomet Stalls where
there was a Demonstration of Robotic Surgery for TKR. I saw the Robotic Surgery for first time and it was more
accurate than the Navigation Surgery.
• There were 15 International Faculty Guest Speaker from different parts of the World who gave their Best
experience.
• Anyway, the Australian Scientific Meeting of Australian Orthopedic Associations was Wonderful and Real Learning
Experience.
• Regarding Social events, this includes Presidents Dinner on 8th October at Oval Cricket Stadium. Programme for
Parliament Visit and Visit to Dr. Edward Maha's Residence was Fantastic.
• The APOA Dinner and Last day's Gala Dinner at National Wine Centre of Australia was fabulous. We enjoyed all
the Social Functions.
• Of Course, the Scientific Programme was Real Learning Experience.
Thanks with regards,
Yours Sincerely,

IOA - Australian Orthopaedic Association Fellowship: Dr Anil K Joshi
I feel honoured as I was selected as a travelling Fellow by Indian Orthopedic Association (IOA) to attend the
75th ASM (Annual Scientific Meeting) of Australian Orthopedic Association (AOA) held in Adelaide, South
Australia from 8th to 12th October 2017. The theme of the meeting was Transforming Leadership, diversity and
gender equality.
Sunday 8th October:
(Arrival)- Flight to Adelaide from New Delhi via Singapore. I was excited because it was my first visit to this
beautiful country. Accommodations were in the Oaks Horizons Hotel near the Adelaide Convention Centre (the
conference venue) and Adelaide Oval Cricket ground. Thanks to nice hospitality of AOA. Adelaide is a nice,
peaceful city and I took a nice walk through the city center.
President's reception was held in Adelaide Oval at the rooftop of the Riverbank Stand, the Lindsay Head
Terrace. The venue had excellent views of the city and the foothills. Adelaide Oval was a perfect venue to
gather and celebrate the commencement of the 2017 AOA Annual Scientific Meeting.
Monday 9th October
Opening ceremony was held at Adelaide Convention Centre. The conference started at 8am having sessions
on Arthroplasty, Foot and Ankle, Hand and Wrist, General Orthopaedics and Spine. The section on outreach
about taking skill training to developing nations was interesting.
Tuesday 10th October
This was an interesting day with informative sessions on arthroplasty of knee and hip and shoulder and elbow.
The section on “Fight against infection” was quite informative. The section on newer technologies discussed
robotic versus manual knee arthroplasty was good. The day ended with a nice dinner.
Wednesday 11th October
This day was mainly dominated by events of APOA (Asia Pacific Orthopaedic Association) with knee, shoulder
and elbow sections. In the plenary section “Whats new that works and Whats new that doesn't” explained pros
and cons of different newer techniques in arthroplasty, hand, knee, paediatrics, shoulder, elbow, spine, trauma,
tumor and general orthopaedics. In the afternoon we had a memorable visit to South Australian parliament and
meeting with the Honorable Governor of South Australia. This was followed by lunch at one of the pioneers in
Orthopaedics at Adelaide Dr Edward (Ted) Mah palace home with great hospitality. His home was more of a
museum tastefully decorated with antique items of years 1700-1800, was worth visiting. The real attraction of
the evening was dinner at National Wine Centre of Australia.
Thursday 12th October
The last day we enjoyed the sessions on reconstruction in trauma, arthroplasty and tumors. The Medicolegal
section and case based management section was really interesting cases. Thanks AOA for a nicely organised
conference. In the evening we had flight to Sydney and we said goodbye to the warm welcoming organizing
team.
This was a great experience to interact with the world leaders of orthopaedics. I had benefitted very well with
the wonderful exposure and would like to implement it at my area of practice.
In Sydney I got opportunity to visit Prof Munjed Al Muderis, a pioneer in the field of Osseo integration, trauma

Report of IOA - HKOA Ambassadorship: Dr Sanjay Meena
I was awarded the IOA-HKOA ambassadorship for the year 2017. I reached Hongkong on 3rd Dec 2017. On
the evening of that day we had a welcome dinner for the faculty and ambassadors. We were all taken to
Hongkong golf club, where we I meet HKOA president Dr WONG Yiu Chung and president and other office
bearers of HKOA. I also interacted with faculty and ambassadors of other countries. The main congress was on
4th and 5th dec and the theme of the congress was – minimally invasive orthopedic surgery. In the evening of
4th Dec we had a banquet dinner where I also saw the traditional Chinese arts. At the banquet all the faculty and
ambassadors were felicitated. Next day was the last day of conference, which again like the first day was very
informative. The lectures given at HKOA were really informative and will change the way I do certain things. The
qualities of paper presented at Hkoa were of high quality and certainly gave me a food for thought. The HKOA
congress was indeed a great learning experience for me and I thank IOA and HKOA for giving me this
opportunity

Report of IOA Indo - Irish Fellowship 2o17: Dr Atul Bhaskar
This year 2017, I was chosen as the Travelling Fellow for Ireland and my hosts were Mr. Mahapatra and Mr.
Gerry McCoy, Irish Orthopaedic Consultants. I reached Dublin via UK on Monday (18th Sep) morning, and was
met my Mr. Mahapatra at the airport. We drove straight to the Loath Hospital as he had a fracture clinic in the
afternoon. I saw children with various types of injuries: Supracondylar fractures, shaft femur and intra-articular
elbow fractures managed operatively at the hospital. As this was District General Hospital, all pediatric and
adult traumas were managed by the consultants and their respective units. Only complex trauma was referred
to Dublin. The fracture clinic was well organized with a dedicated nurse and plaster technician available to
attend to the patients. The next four days (19th Sep – 22nd Sep) were spread between 2 hospitals: in Our Lady
of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda and Dundalk where the consultants do their elective list. I witnessed an array of
surgeries from ACL reconstruction in children, Repair of Osteochondritis lesion, ankle ligament reconstruction
and total joint replacements. It was impressive to see the seamless performance of the surgeries ably assisted
by residents and the paramedical staff. Every individual knew his duty and limitations and hence allowed for
smooth functioning of the cases – a concept we must emulate in our public health system. All cases follow
protocols which have been determined by local audit or national guidelines, e.g. antibiotics regimen for clean
cases, DVT prophylaxis, post-operative care, physiotherapy schedule and routine of follow-up care. This helps
in collating data and done comparative studies. On Friday night, Mr. Mahapatra and his colleagues organized a
lavish Irish Dinner with traditional Irish music and drinks!!
On the 25th September, I spent a day in Dublin visiting the children hospital and attending the clinic and later in
the evening travelled to Waterford to meet Mr. Gerry McCoy. Mr. McCoy, senior orthopaedic consultant, was ex-
president of the Irish Orthopaedic Association, an amazing surgeon and a great person. He received me at the
bus station and hosted me at his residence. Next day, I assisted him in total hip and knee Arthroplasties. One
again I witnessed a flawless demonstration of the art of surgery, with respect for soft tissues and minimal use of
electrocautery. We also discussed about the Irish Orthopaedic Training System, merits and flaws imposed by
the EU laws. The orthopaedic service in mostly consultant driven because of the limited numbered training
posts available compared to the big brother, U.K. There were very few middle grade surgeon posts in Ireland;
hence on-call consultants may have to go in for trauma cases if required!!We had an excellent Indian Dinner
with Mr. McCoy's family and next day he dropped me to the railway station. My last was spent with Mr.
Mahapatra in the Orthopaedic clinic where he showed me some of his power point presentations on advances
in management of Osteochondritis dessicans, paediatric knee injuries and treatment of paediatric ankle
injuries. I left Dublin on 28th and returned with fond memories of my visit with Mr. Mahapatra and Mr. Gerry
McCoy.
Highlights of the trip:
* Communication and Co-ordination about the fellowship with Mr. Mahapatra was exceptional and he
guided me at every step: from visa formalities to local travel arrangements.
* All permission for scrubbing in for OR cases were in place unlike in certain centers where visiting
surgeons can only observe.
* Understanding Irish Training System, exchanging views about the Indian system, making new friends,
meeting colleagues, and enjoying traditional Irish food and beverages.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the IOA Fellowship Committee, Hon Secretary Dr Sanjay Jain, and
Hon. President. Dr Ram Prabhoo, Mr. Anant Mahapatra and Mr. Gerry McCoy for giving me the opportunity to
participate at the Indo-Irish Fellow for 2017.

Report of IOA - Dr RL Mittal SICOT Foreign Fellowship 2017 SICOT 2o17:
An unforgettable and enriching experience.
What an illustrious event to end the year with and that too in
Cape Town South Africa, which has been voted as Best City in
the world for the 4th consecutive year by UK's Telegraph .
Had a lifetime experience of South Africa philosophy and
hospitality that "no human can exist in isolation, that we become
humans through other humans." Cape Town is a beautiful city
with awestruck scenario and epitome of adventure travel but
with a dash of elegance and style and not to forget pleasant
breezy weather. It is cradled beneath the gigantic Table
Mountain. It boasts of Cape Point which is the most SW point of
South Africa where Antarctic and Indian oceans meet .Also is
famous for its wildlife sanctuaries, penguin and seal islands
Under the exemplary guidance of Dr Doron Fratzen (congress
president) and the SICOT president Dr Rajasekaran, the
conference progressed. The delegates got to attend lectures of
internationally acclaimed speakers and have knowledge about
recent advances in all sub specialities of Orthopaedics, my
special interest in Knee Arthroplasty made me attend all
sessions of Knee Arthroplasty.
My personal attraction was recent advances in. Knee and Hip
Arthroplasty. I loved to attend sessions by Dr Ashok
Rajagopalan and Dr Manju Wadhwa from INDIA and Dr Rudert from Germany.
Even though I attended poly Trauma symposium which were very academic
and of practical concern.
In all, three (3) days were not enough to explore and experience this academic
feast leaving us wanting for more. I also presented two e posters.
At last, I thank IOA (Indian Orthopaedic Association) to select me as IOA
international fellow and making me attend this internationally acclaimed
conference on a foreign land.

IOA PGT Program : GOSPEL 2017
DEPARTMENT OF ORTHOPAEDICS
GUNTUR MEDICAL COLLEGE / GOVT. GENERAL HOSPITAL
GUNTUR-522001.
ANDHRA PRADESH . INDIA
Dear Dr. Ram Prabhoo,

The Guntur Orthopaedic Seminar for Post Graduate Education and Learning
(GOSPEL)–2017 has been conducted successfully on 10th December, 2017. I
am here with submitting the report and few pictures of the proceedings of the day. Inauguration GOSPEL-2017
IOA has been providing us immense help financially to conduct the program.
Registration : The program has started at 8.30 am with registration of the post
Graduates attending to the program with free registration. There are 83 Post
Graduates registered for the GOSPEL- 2017 from all the medical colleges in the
state of Andhra Pradesh.
We have invited faculty from different medical colleges. There are 14 Professors
who came from different medical colleges, to be our guest faculty for the day.
Ward Rounds : The registered PGs are divided into five batches to take the ward
rounds. Each group is allotted a set of 10 beds occupied by different types of
Ward Rounds
cases Viz., Trauma, Congenital disorders, soft tissue injuries, Tumours. Each
group of PGs are lead by 3 guest faculty members. The ward rounds lasted for
two hours, extensive interactive discussion is done about each case.
Case Presentation : case presentation and clinical discussion is done with
three long cases and three short cases. Senior most faculty has supervised the
case presentation skills. Each case is discussed thoroughly with the final
examination perspective. The case presentations lasted for three hours.
Lecture demonstration: To recap the clinical examination of the Hip joint
various aspects of hip joint examination is demonstrated as lecture
demonstration to impress upon the students about the correct method of Bed Side Clinics
examination.
Objective Structured Clinical Examination(OSCE) : To assess the cognitive
domain and Psychomotor domain of PG learning an OSCE session is conducted
with students divided into into 10 batches. Each batch would pick up a task from a
sealed cover and face the moderators, who in turn ask the batch of students
about the topic they have picked up. The cognitive and
psychomotor domain of PG students from each college
is assessed by two senior faculty who were judging the
session.
The OSCE session is included for the first time in Long Case Presentation
GOSPE-2017 as a competition Three prizes are given
as first, second and third best colleges judged basing
on their OSCE skills. All the topics kept for the OSCE
session are prescribed by the MCI for PG curriculum for
Orthopaedics.
We are conducting the program successively, once a
year from 2012 without any registration fees. IOA has Secretary OSSAP
been supporting us every year. I request you to support
us financially in the name of ‘’Guntur Orthopaedic
Bed Side Clinics
Seminar for Post Graduate Education and Learning’’ to

IOA – BIOS Senior UK Fellowship: Mathew Varghese
This was a fully supported programme for Sr Orthopaedic surgeon from India to experience the kind of work
done in UK centres of excellence and give lectures and attend the BOA annual meeting.
In summary: this was an experience that was memorable in many ways and very useful to understand the
dynamics of the system of Orthopaedic surgery as it is practiced in UK and hospital functioning in the UK. The
exposure to the British Orthopaedic Association, gave us further insights in the workings of the system and the
way they organize their conferences. We however did not get a chance to present anything either at the BOA or
in any of the hospitals. That will remain regret.
Day1, 2 and 3
My first three days at Alder Hey was rewarding in several ways: several observations;
The hospital design was so child friendly, the aesthetics of the place and the layout of facilities were indeed
remarkable for facilitating patient movement and care.
The theatre facility was well segregated with access control at several places to prevent unauthorized entry.
The theatre itself was large with almost every possible OR technology available.
Many day care patients came on the day of surgery to reduce number of days of stay in hospital. Large facility
was provided for their seating and comfort and staff were available to care for both the patient's preparation and
other logistics required preoperatively. This is in addition to the facilities in the wards.
The preoperative 'Huddle' was taken seriously and everyone went through the safe surgical checklist point by
point. Coming from an institution which was part of the original group of hospitals for checking out the effect of
Safe surgical check list this was heartening to watch. However, there seemed to be an element of 'going
through it by rote'.
The anaesthesia team took 'charge' of the patients until they were comfortable to hand over to surgical team.
The senior surgeon was seen to be constantly teaching the fellows, again very heartening to see this
mentorship.
The surgery itself was not very much different from back home but what was striking was the spread of brand
new (looking!) instruments adequately available for every case.
The BOA president Mr Ian Winston with Dr Gautam with Senior and Junior IOA BIOS fellows

131
A full array of inventory of implants was available for every case. The adjacent store in the theatre had every
kind of implant required for any planned or unplanned situation.
Image intensifier operated by radiology technicians who stayed back until the case was completed. PACS was
available on the intranet of the hospital for all past radiology records of the case
The anaesthesia team monitored the case continuously until the end, no leaving the case with technicians even
for a minute. Every child had the Bear hugger® warmer used for. Quite unlike what we are used to in our
hospitals where these are used only for major cases.
Surgeons are personally engaged in patient's needs as for example Dr Durai had to personally arrange beds as
no beds were available for the post-operative patient
Despite the excellent infrastructure and equipment and implants available the number cases done were only
two or three per day. This was quite in contrast to what we have back home where 8 – 10 cases are done per
theatre table.
Good to see Ultrasonography machine used by the anaesthesiologist and the machine owned by the
anaesthesia department. Because of PNSDT act nobody wants the headache of keeping USG machines in
their department. But I understand larger hospitals in India are having USG machines in
Day 4
Joint Radiology Orthopaedic meeting in the morning was a good learning exercise. Good discussion of
interesting cases presented by the Radiologist. The need to sit together as an interdisciplinary team is useful; it
benefits not just the surgeons but also the patients
4th. Day theatre was watching surgery for DDH. Outpatient clinic patients are all by appointment or referrals.
During the time of the visit to the clinic only 6 cases were seen. The surgeons were spending a long time
discussing the pros and cons of the diagnosis and possible lines of management. Practicality of such low
volumes in our setting in India would be difficult to even conceive in a public hospital.
In the hemimelia case with amputation perhaps patients accept amputations more readily here, I have never
been able to convince any of my hemimelia patients for an amputation.
Day 5
This experience at Warrington- Halton hospital was different. Essentially saw arthroplasty cases. The
observations and learning's were as follows:
Saw the use of a commercial kit for detecting infections. The case of a recurrent pain without radiological
changes was confirmed as a case of infection based on the test of synovial aspirate using Synovasure®. Cost
was however prohibitive, definitely need to have a cheaper alternative.
Second case of THR posted for liner replacement after preoperative planning needed a changed plan. The
changed plan could be executed smoothly because of the availability of right inventor within the theatre space.
Better than the company representative coming with limited inventory of implants. Also saw the use of special
taper for the head of femur, special elevated and inclined cup to accommodate the special needs of the case. I
remember wanting a similar taper in my own case but was told by the company that it was not possible.
Obviously the companies are more responsive to requests from these centres though I am sure our numbers
are more.
Saw the use of Dry ice preserved bone graft. All the tests and the process made it expensive at almost 800
pounds or 64000 Rs.
Saw the use of cement-in-cement technique which was standard technique as we have back home.

132
Saw the use of Labral tear repair arthroscopically using special anchors. Good to see the special absorbent
floor mats to keep floors dry. New to me as I do not do Hip arthroscopy.
Reassuring message for future fellows - they take such good care of you that you feel embarrassed at the
degree of hospitality to us who were unknown to them before the fellowship.
99th Annual BOA meeting
The Experience of attending the British Orthopaedic Association at the Echo Arena, Convention Centre was
indeed remarkable.
Organisational Issues
The convention centre itself was well laid out and different hall could be approached by just getting on the
escalator and merely moving up or down. One did not have to walk miles to get between exhibition centres and
lecture halls and dining halls.
Strikingly there were 15 minute tea breaks in the morning and in the afternoon and full 45 minute Lunch break.
In addition before eponymous lectures there break out time of 10 minutes was given to help people assemble
and reassemble. This is quite unlike what we have in IOA where no lunch or tea breaks are given forcing people
to skip sessions to break for tea and lunches. This is also bad for delegates who are presenting between 1 -2
PM with only the speakers and chairpersons sitting through the sessions. The usual argument is the logistics of
breaking sessions and reassembling. This is based on the assumption that as many sessions as possible
should be packed in to accommodate more people and thus have more academics. However what we fail to
recognize is that lunch and tea times are not merely times for lunches and teas. They are networking times
where you interact with national and international faculty, exchange ideas for innovation and research. Some of
these times are times when seeds are sown for lasting research partnerships.
Another striking difference that we noted was the complete absence of any Industry sponsor anywhere near
the academic session hall or between slide changes. The Industry delegates confined themselves to the
exhibition area. Quite unlike what we see in India with front, back, and sides of halls covered with industry
information. As if that were not enough between speaker changes also product and drug information are
projected on the podium screen. While this difference was striking one hopes this not merely a cosmetic
change.
IOA needs to look the possibility of having its own guidelines (I know they do have guidelines) suitably amended
to eliminate conflict of interest.
Content of Conference:
Looking at the content of the conference the emphasis was educating the average Orthopaedic surgeon on the
current practice guidelines and knowledge on a broad spectrum of conditions. These were the Revalidation
sections;
Total number of sessions : 67 (other than the eponymous and guest lectures)
Revalidation sessions : 20 (which is almost a third of the sessions)
Free papers : 15
Registries and networks : 6
Research Sessions : 2
Associations and Societies : 11
It was obvious the focus is on educating the average orthopaedic session. A serious delegate can leave the
conference feeling updated on the current understanding and practice guidelines on common orthopaedic
problems rather than esoteric problems. Registries and networks have become important and are important
points for discussion.

133
We in IOA have clubbed all revalidation kind of sessions into one CME section, which happens to be the best
attended section of the whole conference. While this has its own merit this leaves the main conference
sessions with poor attendance.
Meeting with the BOA President on 19th. September 2017
One of the highlights of the meeting was our meeting with the president of the British Orthopaedic Association
Mr Ian Winston. All three of us senior fellows and one of the two BIOS Junior Fellow was there. After a formal
introduction by the incoming President of the BOA Mr Anand Nanu, who clarified that the selection to the
fellowship is by a blinded process with objective scoring system. We were then asked our impressions so far on
the fellowship.
Dr Aditya responded by saying 'two of us who were dedicated arthroplasty surgeons were keen to see the
systems and procedures in arthroplasty in the UK. Overall it has been a total experience picked up few
technical stuff, yes, but more important were able to a system and protocol in operation, especially that of the
safe surgical check list and the way the 'huddle' is done. It is an evaluation by experience of the British system
versus the Indian system. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses.' Dr CS Yadav endorsing his views.
I responded with my feelings while the system of protocols and procedures is good, something like the safe
surgical checklist is being done by 'rote'. The people doing it seem to be doing it mechanically. The only way to
change that would be to bring in ownership to the checklist. There should be a dynamic mechanism where the
participants are told on a (perhaps) quarterly basis the outcome of the check list. Of course this may also end up
in a 'by rote' activity.
I also commented on the session attendance; where I had observed that the medicolegal section attendance
was full. Registries were over emphasized in the conference (see the analysis on the categories of various
sessions. My suspicion is, this is because of the fear of litigation among most doctors. So society has forced
them to look at protocols, evolve protocols because they are scared of litigation. While there may be merit in
ensuring a reasonable standard of care through guidelines and protocols there is every likelihood that these
very guidelines will kill innovation and generation of new therapy and evidences for some of these innovations.
While many may not admit this we have ended up with a society of orthopaedic surgeons being led by lawyers
and the legal systems and not so much by research and new evidence (as we should have).
The President BOA, Mr Ian Winston responded by saying that it is good to have such fellowships where there is
a healthy exchange among orthopaedic surgeons from two countries. By talking and interacting you learn so
much. He agreed with the problem of lawyers and politicians who say things in their interest but how you
respond to them can be strengthened if there is an international body supporting. He did admit that politics,
especially Indian politics is complex. Understandably politicians want to control but as professionals we want to
strike a balance.
Mr Nanu felt that there is a conflict between Protocols and blame culture. A patient prone for litigation will see
money in case he or she sees a violation of protocols. He also highlighted the fact that for various reasons this
group (he meant our group of Senior Fellows) ended up having a one way process for their fellowship with no
opportunity for the fellows to present what they are doing and share their perspectives. All three of us endorsed
these views and all of us strongly feel about the fact that we were not given any opportunity to present anything
other than one to one interaction which of course was very enriching.
The president and the incoming president Mr Nanu promised they will look into the matter and also when they
come for the IOA con will find opportunities to see how things can be done/changed. He also emphasized the
need to protect the patient even as we innovate. Safety is uppermost and so are ethics. We all agreed on that.

Dinner at Mayur attended by Vijay Bhalaik, Anand Arya, Amit, Nikhil Prakash, Vijay Peter, Rakesh Kumar, Badri
Narayan, Radhakant Pandey, Sanjiv Manjure, Prakash Chandra, Bijoyendra Singh, Manish Bhalla, CS Yadav,
Aditya Aggarwal, Mathew Varghese
Mr Ian Winston in his handing over speech at the conference highlighted on the theme of his conference that is
'Quality and Innovation'
Mr Nanu in his inaugural speech highlighted the theme' Taking stock after 100 years where do we think we are
going in the next hundred years'. Indeed a thought provoking theme. Traditionally we surgeons provide a
bespoke professional service taking care of individual patients. This model is being deconstructed and we are
reaching a post professional era. The brightest of our students are hesitant to enter the medical system. I could
not agree more with him. We in India are facing the same situation where the brightest do not wish to be doctors.
We ourselves are not sure what are we training students for. Again I agree with him as our system is training
doctors ill prepared to treat the full spectrum of orthopaedic problems encountered. Though theoretically this
may be what is planned, but practically the professional training is based on institutional and individual biases
and capacity of teachers available. There is no system that encourages a minimum exposure to various
subspecialties essential for India.
We must recognise our weakness in understanding the future visions sufficiently enough to plan for future. Her
lies the challenge and the opportunity. This is the time when we must collaborate not just nationally but
internationally, BOA, IOA, AAOS, JOA, SICOT and so many organisations of surgeons globally. We are going
deeper and deeper into silos of our own creation without having a big picture understanding. There is a need for
a federation of good scientists and professionals from various specialties and associations getting together as
a federation (perhaps?) and have a strategic planning for the future. I would look at other science disciplines
and work to an interdisciplinary research interaction that will benefit patients for example in the field of genetic
engineering, biomaterials, artificial intelligence, robotics, bionics, biomedical engineering, embryologists,
tissue engineering, along with sociologists and science of ethics. The future is indeed possible only with
collaborations.
We must accept what Mr Nanu said at the end of his vision of stocktaking that 'none of us exist in a vacuum'. Yes
indeed, 'no man is an island'. I am indeed grateful for this opportunity to connect with our colleague
professionals in the UK.
On the last day of the conference 22nd September Attended the Good Clinical (Research) Practice and
Statutory Instruments training programme and we were happy to get a certificate after reaching back home.
Acknowledgement: All members of BIOS who worked very hard to make this fellowship meaningful for us. I am
indeed grateful to my colleagues Dr Aditya Aggarwal and Dr CS Yadav for all the good time had together. In fact
I would say the fellowship was so much more fun because of the two of them and the fact that all three of us got

Orthopaedic Activity
in Ortho World

NEWS LETTER
Public Interest Litigation on Road Traffic Accidents : A Victory for IOA
Indian Orthopaedic Association (IOA) is one of the largest orthopaedic communities in the world. It is 62 years
since the association was started and we have evolved admirably as a great academic and scientific
organization. We now have to move into the next phase of playing a leadership role in establishing training
curriculums, setting standards of orthopaedic care, forming public opinions and mobilizing Government and
legal support for social issues. One area which is very close to the field of orthopaedics is the need for road
safety.
India has the dubious distinction of the following shameful statistics:
1) We have the highest rate of road traffic accidents and also the highest rate of mortality following road
accidents in the world.
2) Every year, more than 185000 people die on the roads (one death every three minutes).
3) For every death, there are more than 50 major injuries which disables the accident victims for life.
4) There are approximately 7 lakh major accident victims and the cost of primary treatment of accident
victims is in excess of Rs.7 lakh crores.
5) 3% of our national GDP is lost in primary treatment of accident injuries.
WHO has remarked “The dream of India to become a super power is evaporating on its roads” as no country
which generates so much death and disability can ever be a super power”.
The solution to this malady is - Education, Enforcement and Engineering, all three of which are the
responsibility of the Government. However, the Government has turned a blind eye to this social malady and
every year, the number of accidents and deaths have only increased.
IOA - PIL on Road Accidents
In the year 2012, during the Presidentship of Dr S Rajasekaran, he had
three Presidential themes, all of which had tremendous impact and
success.
1) Bone and Joint Day declaration
2) Pledge to give programme – 'One surgeon- one free surgery' every
year
3) Road Safety
As a part of improving road safety, as the president of the Indian Orthopaedic Association, Dr Rajasekaran
moved a PIL on the Union Government of India and other concerned ministries of the Government (Writ
Petition No.295 of 2012 – Dr S Rajasekaran Vs Union of India) praying for enforcement of road safety norms
and urging practical measures to be taken in a time bound and expeditious manner to ensure that loss of lives
on the roads is minimized. There was considerable difficulty in getting the PIL accepted and the hearings
proceeded for the next 18 months. Many difficulties had to be overcome as the Government initially took an
adversarial approach and there were multiple road blocks in the hearing. The PIL was heard by a bench
headed by the then Chief Justice of India Shri P. Sadasivam and Justices Ranjan Gogoi and NV Ramana. In

137
April 2014, a landmark judgement was made favourable to the PIL. The Supreme Court appointed a three
member panel to suggest remedial measures, monitor implementation and to make states accountable for
road safety. The panel was constituted by Supreme Court Justice K S Radhakrishnan, Mr S Sundar, Former
Transport Secretary, Mr Nishi Mittal, former HOD, Traffic Engineering & Safety, New Delhi. The panel did
extensive work and submitted 12 reports to the Supreme Court. However, there was lethargy from the various
State Governments in implementing the recommendations. The Supreme Court directed more action
following which the Government in response prepared a bill for the Amendment of the Motor Vehicles Act 1988.
But enough action on the ground was not seen.
It is heartening that the Supreme Court has issued another judgement on the 30th of November 2017 decrying
the delay and casualness of the Government in this matter. Keeping in mind the very large number of deaths
taking place, the Court also has set a deadline of January end for all states to comply with the directions and to
establish a State Road Safety Council and a lead agency for road safety. The judgement was delivered by
Honourable Justice Madhan B Lokur and is available on the website of IOA.
The trio who made it possible
The force behind the PIL was Dr
Rajasekaran and two public spirited
lawyers of the Supreme Court. Mr
Krishnakumar and Mr Vinodh Khanna,
both senior advocates of Supreme Court
took up this cause to their heart and
voluntarily worked hard and relentlessly
towards the success.They both spent
many valuable hours to ensure that the
enormity of this social problem was
properly and adequately represented to
the Honourable Court. Both of them were
also in constant assistance to the
Supreme Court panel. Although they
appeared on behalf of IOA many times,
they did all their work as compliment to
IOA and service to our nation. It is on the
sweat of such selfless people, society
moves forward. May their tribe increase.
The IOA stands indebted and ever grateful for the yeomen service to the association and the nation.
The future
Legal victory does not always transform into a practical change in our country. Lots more need to be done at the
ground level. This will be a great service to society as 70% of the accident victims are injured for no fault of
theirs. The future Presidents of IOA and our association must take it as a continuing cause and encourage
road safety awareness activities throughout the country.

Second Indian to be the SICOT President
Dr S Rajasekaran is the 25th President of SICOT. Sir Robert Jones was the first President of
SICOT and subsequently this position has been held by many pioneers from all over the
world. It is a matter of pride for all Indian orthopaedic surgeons that we now have Dr S
Rajasekaran, our Past President as the second Indian to hold this prestigious position. The
first Indian to be the SICOT President was none other than Prof K T Dholakia in 1978. After a
gap of 40 years, we have the privilege of having an other Indian in this prestigious position.
SICOT was established in Paris in 1829 by like minded surgeons from Europe and North
America. Initially it was called SICO to indicate an international orthopaedic community.
Three years after its inception, the Society was officially renamed as SICOT to include
trauma. SICOT is now the largest international orthopaedic society with more than 30,000 Dr Rajasekaran with the
corresponding members from 120 countries. SICOT Presidential Jewel
Dr Rajasekaran took over as President from Prof Keith Luk, Hong Kong in Rome in September 2016 and
chaired the 38th SICOT Meeting in Cape Town in November this year. He has been on the international board,
first as Treasurer during the period 2011 to 2014 and then as President Elect during 2015-2016.
Dr Rajasekaran taking over as the President from Dr Keith Luk. Dr Rajasekaran along with the Presidential line
of Past Presidents Dr Maurice Hinsenkamp, Dr Keith Luk and President Elect Dr John Dormans
Dr Rajasekaran was the President of the Annual SICOT meeting recently held in Cape Town from November
26-December 3, 2017. During his presidency, he created the SICOT Research Academy. The idea was to
elevate SICOT from a knowledge provider to a knowledge creator. He introduced three SICOT Research
Awards, one each in the category of Clinical Sciences, Basic Sciences and Young Surgeon award. The
academy also provides two research grants of USD 10,000 each for prospective multicentre research involving
SICOT centres. He carried the passion of road safety and has been instrumental in creating a 'SICOT
Declaration on Road Safety'
Dr Rajasekaran delivering the Presidential Oration during the
Annual Meeting of SICOT in Cape Town and remembering the
words of the Father of our Nation.
Dr Rajasekaran will be the President for SICOT for one more year
and chair the Annual Meeting of SICOT in Montreal next year.
