The conference was a great success with over 600 plus registrations,over 50 International,National and Local faculties,3 different themes. It was very widely appreciated by all the faculties and the delegates across the World.

The conference was entirely interactive with only one oration by the National President Dr John Ebnezar,who spoke the “Changing Geriatric Orthopedic Practice-Post Covid Scenario” and it was Chaired by very senior renowned Indian Orthopedic Surgeon Dr SS Jha from Bihar.
