Experts from the US, Dubai, Iraq, Iran, Oman and Yemen and more than 250 Indian Orthopaedic experts will participate in the deliberations.

Dr Narendra Vaidya , Managing Director, Lokmanya Hospitals, said that technology has found to be an asset in the current era of advanced Joint Replacement.

“Innovations have blessed us with technological marvels, among which at the forefront is ” Robotic Arthroplasty”. Joint Replacement has proved to be a great boon to patients suffering from terminal arthritis.

“Total Knee Replacement is said to be one of the most successful surgeries of the last decade. However, 25-30% of the patient’s are yet to experience the adequate outcomes of the same. There seems to be a definite scope for improvement in terms of accuracy and precision involved in the procedure.

“We today stand the helm of ground breaking surgical advancements. The recent technologies available in Arthroplasty impart an efficient and effective tool in the hands of the joint replacement surgeon, enabling consistent reproducible results.”
