Dear Friends,
Please accept my warm greetings on behalf of Indian Orthopedic Association!
This year has started with a push towards academic activities. The chief agenda of this year' president , Dr. A.K. Jain is to give a boost to academics. Several initiatives, which have been started, include revival of Instructional course lectures, post graduate teaching by teleconferencing, and effort to establish an academy etc. . He has put his full force and might to achieve all this. The IOA is fully geared up to support him in this lofty cause.
Towards the end of my second terms as Hon Secretary, IOA, I feel myself fortunate enough to have worked with stalwarts in orthopaedics- Dr. Shantharam Shetty, Dr. Rajasekaran, Dr. S.K.S. Marya to mention some. I have tried to do justice to my job and I am sure that God would help me in discharging my duties as Hon. Secretary, IOA.
Thanking you,
your s friendly,
(Prof. Sudhir K. Kapoor)Hon. Secretary, IOA
From the Desk of President-Elect, IOA
My dear seniors & colleagues.
I have come very close to Indian Orthopaedic Association to know the basic working of IOA .You have given me a
wonderful opportunity by electing me to the coveted post of president- Elect 2013 and serve you all, and I am thankful
to all the members.
The Indian orthopaedic Association has come to this level by the efforts of seniors and my predecessors. The high
level of academic atmosphere is created during the IOACON. This year a academy wing of IOA has been created to
look after the scientific program of the IOACON, and to formulate the polices in Academic matter for IOA
4th August (the day that the IOA chapter was signed ) was declared as the Indian Bone & joint Day. To commemorate
this event, I request all the state chapters to organize few activities in their state. I request all of you to operate one
patient free of cost whatever minor or major surgery. All the state chapter should produce posters depicting the Bone
and joint Day celebration and send these posters to all hospitals in their town and city & keep these poster in OPD and
main gate of hospital so that, public awareness should follow “stronger Bones – stronger India.”
This year there is election of President- elect, vice presidents & Secretary. This year last time, there will be Ballet paper
as well as on line voting you will be surprised to know that only 31% voting has been done. Ballot papers are reached to
every member but members are not taking 2 minutes time to fill the ballot paper and drop in the nearest post office. You
do not have to spend the postal ticket, those who have computer, they can vote on line.
May I request every member to send their new permanent address, email and landline and mobile numbers to IOA
office ([email protected] / [email protected] ) so that it will be easier to send them ballet paper
or password for online voting. Spare 2 minutes and do the justice for IOA election.
Orthopaedics is a vast subject .Every month there is new technique coming up. Not only for juniors but even for
seniors there are workshops seminars and scientific programs, which one must attend. IOA has huge number of
fellowships which one must utilize them. Now most of the state chapters are giving opportunities to conduct
conferences, seminars and other scientific activities so that a person can easily attend and learn. Learning is a long
process for an orthopaedic surgeon. Therefore I shall say that continue learning to serve better to the society.

Extra Ordinary General Body meeting started at around 3.50 PM at
IOACON-2013, Agra on 7th December, 2013
Dr. Kapoor apprised the people present about the background of constitutional amendments. He informed that the
proposed constitutional amendments pertain to three things.
1. It should be mandatory that any doctor who wants to become member of the state
IOA should also apply for the membership of other association at the time of the application so that he should
simultaneously become member of both State Chapter as well as IOA.
2. President and secretaries of the state chapters should automatically become Executive Committee members.
3. The constitutional validity to the benevolent fund which already exists.
Dr. Kapoor explained that all these three points have been passed by the previous General Body Meeting and it was
realized that a constitutional amendment is required and so, a special extraordinary General Body Meeting has been
convened to make necessary amendment in the Constitution. An e-mail to this effect was sent to all IOA members
about 2 weeks before. Now, we have received a notice from one of the members, Dr. Raza, according to which the
information has to be sent at least 30 days in advance before calling an extraordinary General Body Meeting. Now, I
put the matter before the General Body Meeting. Dr. Raza said that as per Clause 19 of the Constitution, the notice of
30 days is required for such a meeting and that notice has to be sent by mail. He said that since IOA does not have e-
mail ID's of every member, the notice would not have reached each and every member of the IOA as is the
requirement. At this point, Dr. Rakesh asked whether in the past, when two other constitutional amendments were
made, a similar notice of 30 days was given. Dr. Kapoor expressed that he does not know. Dr. Raza said that such
notice was sent to all members before 30 days of the meeting. Many views were expressed by different members. In
the end of the General Body Meeting, it was decided that the constitutional amendments can be deferred to next
General Body Meeting. At this point, Dr. Kapoor said that we have two more items from the agenda which would
require constitutional amendments and they can be discussed now:
1. He said that we have to decide whether IOA members who are residing outside India can vote and contest for the
executive committee of IOA or not. Dr. Raza and Dr. Taneja stood up one after the other and said that as per
Constitution, we cannot debar any member of IOA from voting. However, everybody felt that an IOA member,
who is not present in India, cannot do justice to his job if elected. So, it was decided that the constitutional
amendment may be made that IOA members who are residing outside India would be able to vote but not contest
for a post of IOA. At this point, Dr. Kapoor said that we should make a distinction between members of IOA
who are actually Indian and members of IOA who belong to some other country. Dr. Raza said that there is no
such distinction between different member of IOA and every member should be allowed to vote. This was
accepted.
2. Dr. Kapoor informed that Dr. Jain has proposed that IOA members who have not completed 5 years of
membership should not be allowed to contest for the post of the executive committee. After brief discussion, it
was accepted. The meeting was called off.
The General Body Meeting reconvened and the agenda already circulated was taken one by one :
a. President, IOA welcomed all the members present and said that we can start the meeting obituary members.
The president asked everybody to stand in silence for a minute to pay report to the deported members. After
one minute of condolence, the agenda was taken. Dr. Kapoor informed that we have to confirm the meetings
of the EC meeting held on 4 December ' 13. He said that these minutes of the meetings have been pasted
outside the hall. Otherwise the minutes are available with me. House passed the minutes.
b. After this, Dr. Kapoor read his report in detail. His detailed report is given elsewhere in the newsletter in
detail but the main points covered by him were regarding the present count of IOA members. State Chapters
informs that now MCI has already given decision regarding spine surgery, allowing orthopaedic surgeons to
provide medical care to patient of spine dissorder including surgery.
Bone & Joint celebrations, IOACON '12 at Chennai, on Post graduate teaching programme and the functions
of the IOA.
Different awards were then distributed which included for different fellowships and ambassadorship. The awards
were given by the President, IOA.
Treasurers report was read by Dr. Lalit Maini. After, he gave the report there were few questions. Dr. Gaur asked him
that a major percentage of expenditure, i.e. 26 percent is towards others. What is others? Dr. Maini explained that
though there are 25 items in the report not clarified, 7/8 items should have been issued and other items have been
grouped under one head. Dr. Raza asked about the expense of sponsorship of 37 lakhs and asked that what was the
expense and who paid for it. Dr. Maini and Dr. Kapoor said that this was for the full page advertisement given in the
Hindustan Times and Times of India for the celebrations of Bone & Joint Day on 4-5 August. The total expenditure
was borne by sponsors and was not spent by IOA on this account. After this, the report of the treasurer was passed.
Dr. Taneja and Dr. Raza said that these reports must be sent to all members before hand.
Dr. Sudhir Kumar presented his report after that. This report is given elsewhere in the newsletter.
Dr. Kapoor explained about the spinal surgeries agenda. He said that that has been some confusion regarding the
Orthopedic Surgeons carrying on spine surgeries. He informed the house that the Committee formed in the last
Executive Committee meeting constituted of Dr. H.S. Chabbra and Dr. Shishir Rastogi along with Dr. Jaiswal made
efforts to meet the concerned people in MCI. In a subsequent meeting, MCI has taken a decision that the orthopedic
surgeons can provide care to the spinal patients including spine surgeries. I have been able to get the minutes of that
particular meeting and they will be published on the website shortly.
Next, the agenda of Blue Book of IOA was undertaken. Dr. Kapoor informed the house that the last blue book of IOA
was published in 2002. In 2010, in Jaipur, the Committee of 4 presidents was formed to revise the blue book
depending upon different proposals passed in various Executive Committee meetings and GBMs. All the minutes
required for this purpose were supplied by him to the Committee. Dr. Raza sent a draft of the revised bluebook in
March which was circulated to all. And I had invited suggestions depending upon that draft, but not many suggestions
were received. In the last Executive Committee meeting, I was given the responsibility of compiling the whole thing
and sent the final version of the book for approval by all. I had prepared a draft and it was sent to all the members by

IOACON-2013, Agra on 7th December, 2013
Dr. Kapoor apprised the people present about the background of constitutional amendments. He informed that the
proposed constitutional amendments pertain to three things.
1. It should be mandatory that any doctor who wants to become member of the state
IOA should also apply for the membership of other association at the time of the application so that he should
simultaneously become member of both State Chapter as well as IOA.
2. President and secretaries of the state chapters should automatically become Executive Committee members.
3. The constitutional validity to the benevolent fund which already exists.
Dr. Kapoor explained that all these three points have been passed by the previous General Body Meeting and it was
realized that a constitutional amendment is required and so, a special extraordinary General Body Meeting has been
convened to make necessary amendment in the Constitution. An e-mail to this effect was sent to all IOA members
about 2 weeks before. Now, we have received a notice from one of the members, Dr. Raza, according to which the
information has to be sent at least 30 days in advance before calling an extraordinary General Body Meeting. Now, I
put the matter before the General Body Meeting. Dr. Raza said that as per Clause 19 of the Constitution, the notice of
30 days is required for such a meeting and that notice has to be sent by mail. He said that since IOA does not have e-
mail ID's of every member, the notice would not have reached each and every member of the IOA as is the
requirement. At this point, Dr. Rakesh asked whether in the past, when two other constitutional amendments were
made, a similar notice of 30 days was given. Dr. Kapoor expressed that he does not know. Dr. Raza said that such
notice was sent to all members before 30 days of the meeting. Many views were expressed by different members. In
the end of the General Body Meeting, it was decided that the constitutional amendments can be deferred to next
General Body Meeting. At this point, Dr. Kapoor said that we have two more items from the agenda which would
require constitutional amendments and they can be discussed now:
1. He said that we have to decide whether IOA members who are residing outside India can vote and contest for the
executive committee of IOA or not. Dr. Raza and Dr. Taneja stood up one after the other and said that as per
Constitution, we cannot debar any member of IOA from voting. However, everybody felt that an IOA member,
who is not present in India, cannot do justice to his job if elected. So, it was decided that the constitutional
amendment may be made that IOA members who are residing outside India would be able to vote but not contest
for a post of IOA. At this point, Dr. Kapoor said that we should make a distinction between members of IOA
who are actually Indian and members of IOA who belong to some other country. Dr. Raza said that there is no
such distinction between different member of IOA and every member should be allowed to vote. This was
accepted.
2. Dr. Kapoor informed that Dr. Jain has proposed that IOA members who have not completed 5 years of
membership should not be allowed to contest for the post of the executive committee. After brief discussion, it
was accepted. The meeting was called off.
The General Body Meeting reconvened and the agenda already circulated was taken one by one :
a. President, IOA welcomed all the members present and said that we can start the meeting obituary members.
The president asked everybody to stand in silence for a minute to pay report to the deported members. After
one minute of condolence, the agenda was taken. Dr. Kapoor informed that we have to confirm the meetings
of the EC meeting held on 4 December ' 13. He said that these minutes of the meetings have been pasted
outside the hall. Otherwise the minutes are available with me. House passed the minutes.
b. After this, Dr. Kapoor read his report in detail. His detailed report is given elsewhere in the newsletter in
detail but the main points covered by him were regarding the present count of IOA members. State Chapters
informs that now MCI has already given decision regarding spine surgery, allowing orthopaedic surgeons to
provide medical care to patient of spine dissorder including surgery.
Bone & Joint celebrations, IOACON '12 at Chennai, on Post graduate teaching programme and the functions
of the IOA.
Different awards were then distributed which included for different fellowships and ambassadorship. The awards
were given by the President, IOA.
Treasurers report was read by Dr. Lalit Maini. After, he gave the report there were few questions. Dr. Gaur asked him
that a major percentage of expenditure, i.e. 26 percent is towards others. What is others? Dr. Maini explained that
though there are 25 items in the report not clarified, 7/8 items should have been issued and other items have been
grouped under one head. Dr. Raza asked about the expense of sponsorship of 37 lakhs and asked that what was the
expense and who paid for it. Dr. Maini and Dr. Kapoor said that this was for the full page advertisement given in the
Hindustan Times and Times of India for the celebrations of Bone & Joint Day on 4-5 August. The total expenditure
was borne by sponsors and was not spent by IOA on this account. After this, the report of the treasurer was passed.
Dr. Taneja and Dr. Raza said that these reports must be sent to all members before hand.
Dr. Sudhir Kumar presented his report after that. This report is given elsewhere in the newsletter.
Dr. Kapoor explained about the spinal surgeries agenda. He said that that has been some confusion regarding the
Orthopedic Surgeons carrying on spine surgeries. He informed the house that the Committee formed in the last
Executive Committee meeting constituted of Dr. H.S. Chabbra and Dr. Shishir Rastogi along with Dr. Jaiswal made
efforts to meet the concerned people in MCI. In a subsequent meeting, MCI has taken a decision that the orthopedic
surgeons can provide care to the spinal patients including spine surgeries. I have been able to get the minutes of that
particular meeting and they will be published on the website shortly.
Next, the agenda of Blue Book of IOA was undertaken. Dr. Kapoor informed the house that the last blue book of IOA
was published in 2002. In 2010, in Jaipur, the Committee of 4 presidents was formed to revise the blue book
depending upon different proposals passed in various Executive Committee meetings and GBMs. All the minutes
required for this purpose were supplied by him to the Committee. Dr. Raza sent a draft of the revised bluebook in
March which was circulated to all. And I had invited suggestions depending upon that draft, but not many suggestions
were received. In the last Executive Committee meeting, I was given the responsibility of compiling the whole thing
and sent the final version of the book for approval by all. I had prepared a draft and it was sent to all the members by

final form. Dr. Marya explained that the whole thing is almost final and we should go for printing. Dr. Shetty also said
that the final blue book must be published now. Though, Dr. Raza was very categorical in stressing that the draft
circulated is still not perfect and he required some time more to go through everything and finalize the draft which can
be printed from the Delhi office. Ultimately, it was suggested that the protocol committee will send the final draft by
15 Feb to the President. Then, it will be published by the Delhi Office.
Dr. Sanjay Chaturvedy presented the report of IOACON. There was a lot of discussion over accommodation during
IOACON. Dr. Jamal Ashraf raised point that there is a discrepancy in rate of rooms provided during IOACON by
organizing committee and if the booking is done by event management bookings directly. Dr. Sanjay Chaturvedy said
that we had provided rooms at the same rate which we had committed earlier and there was no discrepancy in the
roooms provided by organizing committee. Event management companies cannot be compelled by us if the rooms
are booked directly. Dr. Shetty told that during SICOT, the rooms are booked well in advance due to which there is no
discrepancy in the rates of rooms even at the last moment.
Dr. Srinivas Reddy presented a report about the preparation of IOACON 2014 at Hyderabad. Dr. Srinivas Reddy
informed the house about the dates of IOACON 14 which will be 19-23 November 2014 to which few members

to this that since the booking for 2014 is difficult to be adjusted and all the options have already been explored, the
dates for IOA 14 cannot be changed.
Dr. Kapoor informed the house that about 500 members joined IOA this year.
Online elections of IOA – Dr. Jain said that of around 9000 IOA members, only half of the members are registered

year as a stop gap arrangement and same post will be again advertised for the election in next year.

Dr. A.K. Jain presented his theme as “Cultivate……. Research an attitude & learning a passion.
7 Celebration of Bone & Joint Day on 4th of August.
Dr. S. Kapoor gave brief background of bone & Joint Day. He informed about how it was started 3 yrs back. In the Ist
year, 5000 free surgeries were performed all over India but he informed that things had slowed down for last 2 years.
Therefore, he stressed that we must make all efforts to really celebrate it in big way. Several measures could be:-
* Posters/Banners in all big institutes all over India, one week prior to Bone & Joint Day.
* Free Clinic/OPD in various cities.
* Public gathering (Preferably post operative Orthopaedic patients) in the form of cycling/walk at prominent
public place (like India Gate) on 3rd August (Sunday) a day prior to Bone & Joint Day.
* Bone and joint day celebration committee was proposed with 5 zonal representatives, one chairman (Dr
Maheshwari) along with President and secretary.
8 Editor report : Dr. S. Kumar presented his report (editor) (Detailed report available on page 66).
(1) Dr. S. Kumar proposed that (1) printing /postage cost is increasing every year, since 500 new members are
adding every year. Therefore, IJO should get Rs 30 lakhs instead of Rs 23 lakhs last year.
(2) Since account maintenance is for financial year, fund allotment should also be for financial year (rather
than calendar year as previously done). This will help in easy maintenance of accounts.
(3) Editorial board members need to refer lot of online journals for editorial board work. Therefore, IJO
should buy subscription of few online journals for multiple users. This requires additional cost of around
10 lakhs, in addition to the above mentioned amount.
(4) Reviewers should give detailed comments about the articles in first instance only to reduce time for re-
sending the article for comments again.
Dr. A.K. Jain,President congratulated editorial board for increase in H-index from 5 in Nov., 2003 to 10 in 2014.
(1) He suggested that we can reduce printing cost if members voluntarily opt for online subscription only.
(2) We can send a suggestion sheet in this regard in next issue of IJO along with blast mails for voluntarily
opting online subscription.
(3) We must increase subscription from 371 to 800 by talking to librarians of various medical institutes.
After extensive discussion among EC Members financial proposal of increase in money was agreed for 31 lakhs
from 23 lakhs last year. It was passed.
Dr. S. Kumar (Editor) appealed to the house to reconsider for further increase in financial help. It was not passed.
9 IOACON -2013, Agra Report by Dr. Sanjay Chaturvedi.
Dr. Sanjay Chaturvedi presented his report. (Detailed report is available on page126).
Dr. Sanjay Chaturvedi informed that total collection of IOACON, 2013 was Rs.10 crore and total expenditure
was Rs 12 crore.
Few queries were raised by house regarding Rs.2 crore deficit. However, Dr. Sanjay Chaturvedi promised that
10% (i.e. Rs.1 crore) will be given to IOA irrespective of this deficit.
Dr. Amit Ajgoankar raised a question against printing of conference journal in Agra to reduce the cost of IOA.
Dr. Amit Ajgoankar and Dr. Bhargava raised a question about decreasing standard of scientific programme in
IOACON and why scientific progrmme committee does not include local organizing committee.
Dr. S. Kapoor clarified that scientific programme committee includes local orgnaising committee also.

circulated to the E.C. members through E-MAIL for further reading and correcting the grey areas. Members have
raised certain facts which need to be corrected. President, Dr. A.K. Jain suggested that in some grey areas
ambiguity has to be checked and as his committee do not have any right to correct the decision taken by previous
EC meeting and General Body Meeting, they have to be presented as new agenda in next EC and GBM, for
correction, if any. The blue book should be made available on the website so that members should look into and
suggest any correction. In future, blue book should be revised in every 2 years to keep it updated.
12 A) CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS OF IOA:
Dr. Sudhir Kapoor proposed the constitutional amendments to be presented in next General Body Meeting as

8 Editor report : Dr. S. Kumar presented his report (editor) (Detailed report available on page 66).
(1) Dr. S. Kumar proposed that (1) printing /postage cost is increasing every year, since 500 new members are
adding every year. Therefore, IJO should get Rs 30 lakhs instead of Rs 23 lakhs last year.
(2) Since account maintenance is for financial year, fund allotment should also be for financial year (rather
than calendar year as previously done). This will help in easy maintenance of accounts.
(3) Editorial board members need to refer lot of online journals for editorial board work. Therefore, IJO
should buy subscription of few online journals for multiple users. This requires additional cost of around
10 lakhs, in addition to the above mentioned amount.
(4) Reviewers should give detailed comments about the articles in first instance only to reduce time for re-
sending the article for comments again.
Dr. A.K. Jain,President congratulated editorial board for increase in H-index from 5 in Nov., 2003 to 10 in 2014.
(1) He suggested that we can reduce printing cost if members voluntarily opt for online subscription only.
(2) We can send a suggestion sheet in this regard in next issue of IJO along with blast mails for voluntarily
opting online subscription.
(3) We must increase subscription from 371 to 800 by talking to librarians of various medical institutes.
After extensive discussion among EC Members financial proposal of increase in money was agreed for 31 lakhs
from 23 lakhs last year. It was passed.
Dr. S. Kumar (Editor) appealed to the house to reconsider for further increase in financial help. It was not passed.

Dr. Sanjay Chaturvedi presented his report. (Detailed report is available on page126).
Dr. Sanjay Chaturvedi informed that total collection of IOACON, 2013 was Rs.10 crore and total expenditure
was Rs 12 crore.
Few queries were raised by house regarding Rs.2 crore deficit. However, Dr. Sanjay Chaturvedi promised that
10% (i.e. Rs.1 crore) will be given to IOA irrespective of this deficit.
Dr. Amit Ajgoankar raised a question against printing of conference journal in Agra to reduce the cost of IOA.
Dr. Amit Ajgoankar and Dr. Bhargava raised a question about decreasing standard of scientific programme in
IOACON and why scientific progrmme committee does not include local organizing committee.
Dr. S. Kapoor clarified that scientific programme committee includes local orgnaising committee also.
After extensive discussion Dr. Anil Jain assured improvement in scientific programme of IOACON, Hyderabad.
10 IOACON, 2014 Hyderabad (Progress report):
Dr. Reddy presented his detailed report about preparation of IOACON 2014 Hyderabad (Report is available on

11 PROTOCOL AND BLUE BOOK OF IOA
Overview of IOA protocol and Blue book was presented by Hon. Secretary, Dr. Sudhir Kapoor. Dr. HKT Raza
circulated the revised protocol blue book of IOA completed till 2013. He said his blue book has already been
circulated to the E.C. members through E-MAIL for further reading and correcting the grey areas. Members have
raised certain facts which need to be corrected. President, Dr. A.K. Jain suggested that in some grey areas
ambiguity has to be checked and as his committee do not have any right to correct the decision taken by previous
EC meeting and General Body Meeting, they have to be presented as new agenda in next EC and GBM, for
correction, if any. The blue book should be made available on the website so that members should look into and
suggest any correction. In future, blue book should be revised in every 2 years to keep it updated.
12 A) CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS OF IOA:
Dr. Sudhir Kapoor proposed the constitutional amendments to be presented in next General Body Meeting as
these constitutional amendments have not been passed in previous General Body Meeting and need to be again
circulated to be discussed by General Body Meeting at hyderabad.

b) President, Dr. Anil Kumar Jain proposed the constitutional amendments for the selection of President. He
was of the view that President should get more time to be acquainted with the functioning of IOA. Hence,
election procedure needs to be amended. There should be election of Vice President 2 instead of President.
There should be hierarchy by which Vice President 2 will become Vice President 1 and subsequently will
become president and then immediate past president. In this way, a person will be in touch with IOA activity
for 4 years for better understanding and implementation.
Dr. HKT Raza suggested that we must define the advantages of new election pattern for President before
putting this matter to GBM. All the members agreed to the proposal of President and hence passed.
President, A.K. Jain suggested that there should be a forum like past presidents' forum which should interact
with the executive committee during IOACON and share their experiences. Dr. Amit Ajgoankar pointed out
that past presidents should only share their experience and suggestions but there should not be any decision
making in these meetings. Dr. Anil Jain and rest of the EC Members agreed to the proposal.
13 TELE CONFERENCING SESSIONS OF IOA WITH COLLABORATION OF IGNOU -
President presented his new initiative to make a co-curriculum of orthopedics available with uniform standard to
the post graduate students MS/DNB in various institutes in the country. He presented his proposal that the IOA in
collaboration with IGNOU will be telecasting the lectures through “Gyan Darshan“Television Channel, once on
every first Monday of the Month from 2.30 P.M. to 7.30 P.M from April to August, 2014 and 1st and 3rd Monday
from September, 2014 onwards. These will be five lectures of 45 minutes duration each.
Most of the members appreciated the initiative and also caution about the finances involved in the telecasting and
monitoring of the events, selection of speakers and utilization of the programme by students.
Dr. Anil Kumar Jain said that it was one and half year of dialogue with the IGNOU authority to persuade them for
this activity. As IOA is a non-profit organization, they will charge Rs.10, 000/- per hour instead of Rs.40, 000/-
per hour for using their studio and telecasting the session. Every 4 hour session will have an expense of
Rs.40,000/- and some amount will also be needed for the speakers who will be called from outside Delhi. All the
telecasted material will also be made available in DVD Format and kept in IOA house for further use. Dr Amit
AJgoankar and Dr Bhargava proposed for more practical classes in form of case presentation rather than didactic
lectures. Dr Anil Jain said that we will start with lectures first and may add practical's like case presentation later.
14 INSTRUCTIONAL COURSE LECTURE OF IOA:
Dr. A.K. Jain and Dr. Rakesh Bhargava presented his suggestions about ICL which was discussed.
Dr. Anil Jain said that we propose to revive ICL in last EC meeting. It was decided that we will give 20 research
questions to 20 people in the country and instructional course lecture will be prepared on that. The Committee
was formed & chaired by Dr. Bhargava, Dr. Anil Dhal and Dr. Rao. Two people have already submitted their
lectures whereas rest 18 lectures are awaited. These 20 manuscripts will be peer reviewed and printed as ICL in
IJO. Dr. Anil Jain proposed that since we are running late this year we will present these ICL in print form and as a
part of IOACON but from next year onwards we will be doing ICL as a separate midyear programme. Dr.
Bhargava presented his report on ICL.
15 CHANGES IN IOACON
Dr. S.C. Goel proposed the changes in the organization and distribution of IOACON in zonal manner which was
discussed and most of the members agreed to it. Members agreed that there should be zonal distribution of
organizing IOACON and if there are more than one application from the same zone, voting should be done on line
or by secret ballot along with the annual Elections of the IOA.
Dr. Anil Kumar Jain suggested that there should be Central Organizing Committee for the scientific material of
IOACON. EC members suggested that there is already functioning central Organizing Committee; hence the
committee for the scientific material of IOACON should be named as Central Academic Scientific Committee
for IOACON. And there should be atleast two co-opted members of academic and scientific repute one from
local and one from Central Committee along with the Presidents and others.

we may discuss this out in EC Meeting.
f) Oncology section – EC members suggested that report may be sent on e-mail, which was appreciated by Dr.
Ajay Puri.
17 Discussion about Physiotherapy regarding affix:
Dr. Sudhir gave brief historical background and informed the house that this issue has been given to Dr.
Dhirender Singh for follow up. Dr. Dhirender Singh suggested that we must collect sufficient data in this regard
before going to court. Sufficient data in the form of :
- RTI to Ministry of Health asking them their status regarding physiotherapist in their state.
- RTI to District level
- Collection of these prescription papers (drugs/imaging modalities written by physiotherapist throughout
India).
He also requested all EC Members to ask all physiotherapists in their hospital not to write “Dr”.
Dr. Anil Jain suggested that we should not go for street fight rather:
- We should first collect data in the form of prescription/RTI
- We should educate our patients
- Collect all evidence
- We should exhaust all administrative channels (MCI/Health Ministry) before going to legal fight.
Dr. Deepak suggested that it will be better if any patient complaints to the court directly with the prescription
written by physiotherapist. Dr. Raza summarized that Dr. Dhirender will make a module of it and circulate it to
all EC Members
18 Information regarding IOA Election 2014 –
Dr. Jhunjhunwala informed that elections this year will be through both ballot paper and online but from next year
onwards there will be online elections only.
President elect Dr. Jhunjhunwala said that IOA has around 10,000 memberships and currently only 6000 e-mails
are registered. Hence there is need to improve the directory services of IOA. He proposed hiring the services of
professionals to update directory of IOA. But EC Members suggested that rather we should take route of state
chapters to rectify the directory of IOA and hence it was suggested that State chapters, local bodies should be
communicated for the updating of the IOA members to be incorporated in the directory for the coming elections.
Dr. Anil Jain suggested that we should first follow this method for three months and then we will reassess our data
of registered e-mail. If it does not improve we may take some other route to register e-mails of our members.
19 Academic Programme for IOA in pattern of AAOS:
Dr. Anil Jain presented his report on AAOS. Dr. Vijay Raghavan appreciated it as a good concept but also pointed
out that we need more new members to contribute in this instead of always forming committee with past
presidents and secretaries. Dr. Raza and Dr. Yadav disagreed with this concept since according to them there is
not clear motto or added advantage over already existing central academic committee. Dr. Anil Jain said that this
group is not for individual publication and research but for UG/PG training/sub specialty training and other
academic activities of IOA. After extensive discussion it was decided that we may place it on e-mail of all EC
Members for further comments.
20 Letters from members-
i) Dr. H.R. Jhunjhunwala – already discussed
ii) Dr. Nitin Deshpande – already discussed
iii) Dr. H.S. Sandhu regarding IOACON – Dr. Sudhir Kapoor said that let Amritsar bid again for IOACON in next

Dr. N.S. Laud- Bone and Joint Day Celebration-2013
Dear Prof.Sudhir,
As desired by you, I have done a free Total Hip Replacement on a lady from a village near Sangli who was crippled
because of bilateral Hip arthritis. I have performed surgery on one side and with the cooperation of the hospital
authorities the entire surgery was performed free of cost. Please let me know where I should send the particulars and
x-rays.
In the last 6 months from the same area, I have done 6 Joint Replacements and fortunately the hospital provides the
Joint and other facilities and surgery is done totally free. Do I need to send the x-rays and patient photographs
Please do let me know.
Sincerely
Dr.N.S.LAUD
4. Activities on Presidential Theme 2013- President slogan this year was “Unite to Learn and Learn to Unite”.
The idea was to increase the interaction and a feeling of kinsmanship amongst the members. Social get-togethers
were encouraged, probably Delhi had the best gathering.
5. Spine surgery
There has been some confusion regarding orthopaedic surgeons performing spine surgery. The controversy has been
finally resolved. Thanks are due to Dr.H.S.Chabbra , Dr. Shishir Rastogi and Dr Jaiswal for their efforts in this regard.
Final decision has now been taken by MCI.
6. Editorial Board and IJO- Six issues of IJO have been published every year with worldwide viewership.
Our Impact factor this year is 0.503, which is 76% more than that of last year. It is probably one of the best
journals of any International Orthopaedic Associations.

11. Website of IOA- The Present website of IOA can be compared with that of any international associations and is
one of the best. IOA elections were successfully posted by our website. All IOACON scientific abstract
submission is through this website. In 2012 marking by reviewers was also started online.
12. Protocol and Blue book of IOA :- Summary- The protocol to run the various functions of IOA was first time
published in 2002. Various new proposals and new activities have started after that. A need was felt to update this
book and publish the new edition. For this purpose, a committee of four senior members who were past
presidents, was setup in December, 2010 at Jaipur. The committee was to check up all the minutes of the e.c. and
gbm meetings since 2003, gather ideas from the members and give new proposals to do the work. All the
members of the committee have worked hard to achieve this end. We are extremely thankful to all of them for
doing a tremendous job. In the last E.C. meeting, it was unanimously decided to print this book and the President
was very particular that this important task must be done as early as possible since all the ground work have been
done. The responsibility was given to me. Building on the skeletal provided by Dr. Raza (in consultation with
the other members of the committee). I have prepared a final draft which has already been circulated to all of you.
After getting ratification in the gbm, it will be published shortly.
13. Constitutional Amendments - The Constitution was legally registered on 4th August, 1971. It has been
amended twice and going to amend third time this year. This is the sure sign of an alive and progressive
association. I solicit your support for the same during the special gbm called for this purpose.
14. Fellowships of IOA - We have got an unprecidented response for various foreign fellowship and for Glasgow
fellowship. We would be making the final result soon and declare it well in time, like it was done last year.
The response for the inland fellowships is not very enthuastic and I request all the members should avail these
fellowships also. IOA Synthes fellowship was started last year and 5 candidates have availed this fellowship last
year
15. Centre of Excellence- a new initiative - Over a period of past few years Indian Orthopaedic Scene has seen
emergence of state of the art, centres throughout the country. The training in different superspeciality of
Orthoapedics, where our members wanted to go out and get trained, is now available within the country. IOA has
started an effort to identify and recognized such centres for this purpose. We have invited nominations from
different centres and the response has been very good. We have sent a proforma to these centres to fill up. There is
a need for caution here as it is aimed that only genuine centres get this prestigious title so that we can send our
members there. Hopefully we would be able to full fill this need this year.
16. IOA UG/PG programme-2013 - IOA usually holds 6 PG programmes during an year and grant of Rs 75,000/- is
given for each.
IOA PG Teaching Programme at Jaipur IOA PG Teaching Programme in Bangalore
17. IOA Basic Science and Research committee- Decision has been taken to enforce proper representation of Basic
science teaching for our members. It has been made mandatory that every annual conference of each chapter
would have a two hours programme on basic sicences, with input from the members of IOA.
18. MOU with different national associations: we have been having a rather loose understanding with other
international conferences like, IOSUK, AAOS, SICOT, APOA, WOC etc. Now we wish to have firm
arrangements with these associations, on an equal footing. We have drafted a MOU to be implemented with these
associations. A detailed MOU with IOSUK has already been finalized.

at IOA House, New Delhi
Dear friends,
Greetings from the office of Hon. Secretary, IOA!
Just about three months have passed since the last E.C. meeting. The report of the Secretary is consequently very short.
1. After ratification in the last GBM, the total life membership of IOA members is 9570 and associate members is 149.
2. Fellowships: The results of foreign fellowship and Inland fellowship have been declared. Glasgow consultants have added one more fellowship to the already existing two seats and the first on waiting list has been offered this seat. The information about this year fellowship would be sent in the next IOA newsletter and by email blast.
3. IOACON Agra has contributed Rs.50, 00,000/- and they have promised to send the rest of money shortly.
4. IOA blue book is almost final and after today's discussion, we would be able to publish.
5. Constitutional amendments- the constitutional amendments could not be taken up during the last IOACOn would be deliberated upon during the next IOACON on 21st of November, 2014 in special GBM. After today's meetings, we may add any new proposals.
6. Teleconferencing sessions of IOA- The main stress of this year's president- Dr. A.K. Jain, has been on academics. Realizing that P.G. Training has widely different standards in different parts of India, we have decided to hold p.g. teaching for all postgraduates of India, with the help of IGNOU. For this purpose a special session have been arranged on Gyandarshan Channel –II on every first Monday( till August, 2014.) and every first and third Monday from September, 2014 onwards- live telecast of lectures by senior faculty. The time slot would be from 2.30 to 7.30 PM. I can assure you that the best of faculty has been choosen. the inaugural function would be on 7th of April, 2014 and it will open with a talk by Dr. S.M. Tuli, in presence of Dr. P.S. Maini as the Chief Guest. We are planning to bring out DVD's of all the talks in the end.
7. Instruction course lectures- Originally planned by Dr. Jain to be held as a conference in July 2014 have been postponed to be held during IOACON-2014 at Hyderabad.
8. Academy of Indian Orthopaedic Surgeons: A proposal has been prepared by Dr. Anil K. Jain for constituting an Academy of Indian Orthopaedic Surgeons. He has prepared a detailed document which will be discussed today.
9. IOACON-2014 at Hydearabd: I may mention that the following are the dates.

*Out of these Rs 25 Lac, 12 Lac are for the current calendar year 2014. A total of Rs. 23 Lac have been received
in the year 2013.
Allocation of additional funds
In view of the enrolment of approximately 1000 new members (484 in 2013 & 500 in 2014), the annual expenditure of
publication and distribution of IJO has increased exponentially i.e. approx. Rs. 6-7 Lac. Every year approximately
500 new members get enrolled during IOACON and IJO Office has to send the journal to all the new enrolled
members. For printing and dispatch of journal to new members, an additional expenditure of approximate Rs. 3.0 to
3.5 lac is incurred every year. It is proposed that the fund allotment to IJO may please be increased every year
automatically by atleast Rs. 3.0 lac to meet the extra expenditure being incurred by IJO.
At present we need an additional fund of minimum of Rs. 7.0 Lac to meet and also to cover up additional expenses
already incurred by IJO.
The contribution of IOA may be raised from Rs. 23 Lac to Rs. 30 Lac.
Accounts are maintained by the CA/Accountant as per financial year whereas the allotment of funds from IOA is as
per calendar year. It is suggested that the funds from IOA may also be allotted as per the financial year i.e. April to
March so that there will be more clarity in maintaining the accounts and also about allotment and expenditure of funds.
It will also be convenience for the IOA to keep record in their accounts.
TDS Certificates for the FY 2013-14 (Qtr 2 & 3) amounting to Rs. 2,16,334/- have already been forwarded to IOA
House. For the first Quarter i.e. Apr- Jun 2014, no TDS was deducted; hence no certificate has been forwarded.
Proposal/Suggestion
The editorial office of IJO and the members of editorial board need to refer to various international journals with
regard to editorial work of the journal. Most of the journals have paid subscriptions.
A proposal to have online subscription for some of the important journals which are frequently required to be referred
for day-to-day work for editorial work has already been sent to the Hon’ble President, Hon. Secretary and past
presidents for their approval.
The estimated cost of subscription of these journals for the year 2014 is approx. Rs.10,03,285/-. It is also proposed
that an amount to be incurred on subscription of these journals may be allotted to IJO in addition to the funds being
allotted at present.
Appeal to reviewers of IJO
We have a solid data base of reviewers including the overseas reviewers, on our website. We allot the manuscripts to
various reviewers for their valuable comments. We give three weeks time to the reviewers to submit their comments.
But we find that the comments given by some of the reviewers are not adequate to take a decision on the manuscript.
We would appeal to all the reviewers to give detailed comments on the manuscript to avoid sending the manuscript
again to some more reviewers which require 3 weeks more time (given to another set of reviewers) to reduce
submission-decision-publication time. In the absence of inadequate comments we (editorial staff) are not able to take
any decision on the manuscript and compelled to send the manuscript again for peer review. We would also appeal to
the reviewers; do not decline to review the article, except in exceptional cases.
I am thankful to the office bearers and all Executive Committee members for keeping faith on us. I am also extremely
thankful to all our authors, reviewers, editorial board members, entire Editorial Team and Wolters Kluwer/Medknow
Publications for working hard and to continue working together in this journey.
Together only we have attained so much and shall attain further bigger heights.

Prof. Sudhir Kapoor
Hon. Secretary, Indian Orthopaedic Association
New Delhi
Dear Sir
On behalf of the members of Orthopaedic Research and Basic science Committee, Dr. Parag sancheti, Dr. J Naresh
Babu and myself Dr. S K Saraf, I am presenting herewith the report of our committee.
Several suggestions on Subspecialty Research in Orthopaedics, Research Grants, IOA Oration / Award, instituting a
session on basic science and research methodology at all the level of conferences and instituting best paper award in
this category etc. were discussed.
The members appreciated that in IOACON 2013 at Agra, a good time slot for the lectures / award papers was allotted
for this sub specialty. A good number of papers were presented in the session mainly by young orthopaedic members.
The invited lectures from faculty from India and abroad, two Debate and full symposium on research methodology
was the highlight of the sessions. In addition, in CME also, one hour was specially allotted for basic science and
research lectures. There was good interaction from audience.
The members welcomed the good number of paper presentations and excellent lectures on the subject related to basic
science and research in the Indian Arthroplasty Association and ASSI conferences.
The most significant achievement of our committee was to get an approval from Executive committee members of
IOA regarding introducing a session on Basic Science and Research in all the state level conferences of IOA.
Secretaries of all the chapters were communicated by secretary IOA to include a free paper and lectures session on the
subjects related to research and basic sciences in their annual conferences. We received the report from various
chapter secretaries regarding start of such sessions. Few state chapters have started Research grant and awards too.
Maharashtra, Tamilnadu, Uttar Pradesh chapters have done commendable job.
Lastly I appeal all the chapter secretaries, IOA members to inform me or any committee members regarding their
individual achievements or achievements at chapter level in reference to their work on Basic science and research, so
the same can be highlighted in the report. This can be an award, published papers in the journal, chapter in the book,
fellowship, invited lectures, organization of conference, a slot allotted in the conference etc.

Report of Dartmouth-Hitchcock Fellowship-USA: 2013 : (Dr. Zile Singh Kundu)
First of all I am very much thankful to our Indian Orthopaedic Association for my selection to this prestigious foreign
fellowship at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Centre, at Lebanon in the United States of America for the year 2013.
I attended the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Fellowship-USA from 11 November to 6 December- 2013 under the supervision
of Dr Dilip K Sengupta. I was rotated under the upper extremity team during this period of time. This was really a nice
experience to observe the working of the Orthopaedic surgeons in one of the most developed nation on the globe. The
infrastructure and the system of working were really impressive. The division of work among faculty members at the
institute was well defined and that is how they excelled in their respective fields of interest and were able to render
good quality service to their patients.
I learnt some of the good hand surgeries like endoscopic carpal tunnel release, cubital tunnel release, trigger fingers A-
1 pulley release, suture suspension arthroplasty for the trapezio-metacarpal osteoarthritis and shoulder arthroscopy
etc. under the upper extremity team with Dr John Nutting and Dr Lance Warhold, the masters in their field. I observed
and assisted the surgeries for the hip replacement through the anterior approach which was my unique and first
experience. I scrubbed with Dr. Dilip K. Sengupta for the anterior approach for the surgery of the cervical spine for the
degenerated disc disease. I observed the management of soft tissue sarcomas where they give pre-operative
radiotherapy followed by wide resection.
I attended all the morning classes (conferences) from Mondays to Fridays where the residents used to present
Emergency department cases along with seminars, journal club presentations, lectures by the faculty members, and
mortality and morbidity audits etc. These teaching schedules were quite educative and informative. I could integrate
well with the residents and the faculty members at this institute and had deliberations on different topics of interest.
The staff members were very co-operative and I felt at home there.
The functional restorative program by the physiotherapy department was very effective for the non-surgical spine
ailments (disc and degenerative diseases) patients. The shared decision making involving the patient, the treating
surgeon and the opinion of the other experts in that particular field was also the new learning experience.
I presented an oral paper on 21 November 2013 which is the routine at this institute for every foreign fellow and my
topic was “Challenging reconstruction following resection of bone tumors- Need based and innovative solutions”.
This was attending by the consultants and the residents of the Orthopaedic Department and was very much
appreciated by one and all.
We were provided very comfortable accommodation and transport by Dr. Dilip K. Sengupta who took very good care
of us and helped in every way. This was really very much appreciable and commendable job he is doing for the Indian
Fellows in the US for last many years. I am really very much thankful to him from the depth of my heart.
On week ends we were able to meet our old friends in the US and had chance to Visit Harvard University and MIT
campuses in Boston city. There we visited the Massachusetts General Hospital where we could see the Ether dome
where the first anesthesia was given to a man for the removal of a lump in the neck. This was also the unique
opportunity for us.
Overall this fellowship was quite educative and an excellent learning experience to me.

THE IOA/AOA FELLOWSHIP-2013
I reached Adelaide on Sunday the 29th. Sep.'2013. I was picked up by Dr Ted Mah, my dear friend since 1997 when I
first met him at the Kleinert institute in Kentucky. Being Sunday, I readily accepted his offer to take me to Barossa for
visiting its famous wineries. This was in spite of the long journey from New Delhi. In the evening I was taken to Dr
Daryl Teague's house where I stayed till the morning of 6th. Oct.'2013. Both Mr. & Mrs. Teague made me feel at home.
I was touched by their warmth and love for me who was, to start with, a total stranger to them.
My report in the 'daily diary' format is as follows:
30.09.13- Reached the Royal Adelaide Hospital and attended the Trauma meeting in the morning where all
cases of the previous week were discussed. I participated in the academic discussion on the timing of
fasciotomy in compartment syndrome.
Thereafter I attended the operating session assisting Dr Bogdan Solomon in a THR for OA hip Rt. I
was later observing a session of daycare hand surgery with Dr Ted Mah. CT release, ganglion
excision etc.
01.10.13 Morning session post operative round with Dr Dayl Teague at the Burnside hospital. Thereafter I
attended OPD session with Dr Ted Mah and the post lunch session with Dr Dayl Teague.
02.10.13 Reached the Cavalry Hospital at 8 AM to be in the theatre with Dr Ted Mah who had a full day list
consisting of 3 shoulder surgeries, CTS-2 and one foreign body removal from he thumb.
03.10.13 Visited the brand new hospital , Lyell Mcewen with Dr Sunil Putalpattu, Orthopaedic consultant. The
facilities were the latest with 9 OTs all with laminar flow, theatre integration and data recording
facility. I attended the operating session. The list was- Knee arthroscopy, TKR and ACL
reconstruction.
04.10.13 Morning session attended the out patients clinic with Dr Ted Mah. In the afternoon observed surgical
procedures performed by him at the Cavalry hospital. Ulnar N. transposition with Guyan's canal
release, carpal tunnel release. In the evening I was invited to a family get to gather party by Jane &
Ted Mah. It was nice to see the strong family bonding just like we have in India.
05.10.13 Saturday- Visited the National park in the Adelaide hills, accompanied by Dr Bogdan Solomon, to
see the various Australian animals like the Koala bear, the Kangaroo, the bandicoot etc. In the
afternoon visited the beach. I Had an Indian dinner at home with Dr Daryl Teague and Mrs. Vendy
Teague.
06.10.13 Took the morning flight to Darwin along with Daryl, Ted, Bogdan and several other Orthopaedic
surgeons. The pilot made a special welcome announcement for all of us flying to attend the ASM
Darwin.
I reached Darwin at noon and checked in to the Novotel hotel on the Esplanade. In the evening went to
the Darwin convention centre for registration and to attend the welcome reception where I met the
President of the Orthopaedic Association of Thailand and several other delegates from different
parts of Australia.
07.10.2013 The scientific sessions began at 8 AM. At 10.30 AM the inaugural ceremony was held which was
compeered by Dr Janak Mehta, the local organizing secretary of the ASM, Darwin. The Presidential
lecture was delivered by Dr Moulton from Canada. It was a thought provoking speech covering
various aspects of the surgeon's performance and the factors influencing his skill & judgment.
The ASM was inaugurated by the Mayor of Darwin who apprised the audience about the Japanese
bombing of Darwin in 1942 and the cyclone Tracy which hit the Darwin coast in 1975. Both led to
severe destruction of the city. The city has since been reconstructed with some of the most modern
buildings in the country.
Our (IOA/AOA fellows) names & photographs were projected and the President, AOA, Dr Owen
mentioned us in his speech. We felt honoured .
In the evening we were invited to the Presidents dinner reception held at the Darwin sailing club by
the sea. It was an evening spent by the sea with a nice cool breeze. The atmosphere was full of joy and
friendship with good food and drinks to keep the spirits high.
09.09.2013 Both my presentations were in the morning session back to back. The same were greatly appreciated
by the audience.
10.10.2013 We visited the Royal Darwin hospital and attended the out patients clinic of Dr Foster, visiting
Paediatric Orthopaedic surgeon from Adelaide. Over 30 patients with various problems were seen.
We had a constructive academic discussion on management of some extremely rare / complex cases.
In the evening we had dinner with Dr Bhavin and Dr Bruce foster at the Wharf.
11.10.13 We were picked up by Dr Janak Mehta at 7.30 in the morning for a fracture clinic session at the Royal
Darwin Hospital. We were able to see the usual profile of fracture cases in Darwin and the treatment
trends.
On the last day of my stay in Darwin I visited the Mindel beach, the Botanical garden and some other
interesting places of tourist interest. Dr Janak was kind enough to accompany me and finally see me
off at the airport for my flight back home.
On the whole it was a nice exposure to Orthopaedic practice in Australia. It was interesting to interact with and listen
to so many experts both in Adelaide as well as in Darwin. I suggest that in future also the fellowship should include a
short period of observer ship with different surgeons along with attending the AOA or the IOA conference.
The abundance of parks and open spaces in Adelaide, the beauty of sea in Darwin with its magnificent sunset, the
absence of crowds, the fabulous wine, the lovely sea food including the Baramundi and Salmon fish were a pleasant
change from the heat and dust at home.
I would like to specially thank wendy & Daryl Teague, Jane & Ted Mah, Bogdan Solomon, Sunil Putalpattu and Janak
Mehta for making my visit a memorable one.

04.10.13 Morning session attended the out patients clinic with Dr Ted Mah. In the afternoon observed surgical
procedures performed by him at the Cavalry hospital. Ulnar N. transposition with Guyan's canal

05.10.13 Saturday- Visited the National park in the Adelaide hills, accompanied by Dr Bogdan Solomon, to
see the various Australian animals like the Koala bear, the Kangaroo, the bandicoot etc. In the
afternoon visited the beach. I Had an Indian dinner at home with Dr Daryl Teague and Mrs. Vendy
Teague.
06.10.13 Took the morning flight to Darwin along with Daryl, Ted, Bogdan and several other Orthopaedic
surgeons. The pilot made a special welcome announcement for all of us flying to attend the ASM
Darwin.
I reached Darwin at noon and checked in to the Novotel hotel on the Esplanade. In the evening went to
the Darwin convention centre for registration and to attend the welcome reception where I met the
President of the Orthopaedic Association of Thailand and several other delegates from different
parts of Australia.
07.10.2013 The scientific sessions began at 8 AM. At 10.30 AM the inaugural ceremony was held which was
compeered by Dr Janak Mehta, the local organizing secretary of the ASM, Darwin. The Presidential
lecture was delivered by Dr Moulton from Canada. It was a thought provoking speech covering
various aspects of the surgeon's performance and the factors influencing his skill & judgment.
The ASM was inaugurated by the Mayor of Darwin who apprised the audience about the Japanese
bombing of Darwin in 1942 and the cyclone Tracy which hit the Darwin coast in 1975. Both led to
severe destruction of the city. The city has since been reconstructed with some of the most modern
buildings in the country.
Our (IOA/AOA fellows) names & photographs were projected and the President, AOA, Dr Owen
mentioned us in his speech. We felt honoured .
In the evening we were invited to the Presidents dinner reception held at the Darwin sailing club by
the sea. It was an evening spent by the sea with a nice cool breeze. The atmosphere was full of joy and
friendship with good food and drinks to keep the spirits high.
09.09.2013 Both my presentations were in the morning session back to back. The same were greatly appreciated
by the audience.
10.10.2013 We visited the Royal Darwin hospital and attended the out patients clinic of Dr Foster, visiting
Paediatric Orthopaedic surgeon from Adelaide. Over 30 patients with various problems were seen.
We had a constructive academic discussion on management of some extremely rare / complex cases.
In the evening we had dinner with Dr Bhavin and Dr Bruce foster at the Wharf.
11.10.13 We were picked up by Dr Janak Mehta at 7.30 in the morning for a fracture clinic session at the Royal
Darwin Hospital. We were able to see the usual profile of fracture cases in Darwin and the treatment
trends.
On the last day of my stay in Darwin I visited the Mindel beach, the Botanical garden and some other
interesting places of tourist interest. Dr Janak was kind enough to accompany me and finally see me
off at the airport for my flight back home.
On the whole it was a nice exposure to Orthopaedic practice in Australia. It was interesting to interact with and listen
to so many experts both in Adelaide as well as in Darwin. I suggest that in future also the fellowship should include a
short period of observer ship with different surgeons along with attending the AOA or the IOA conference.
The abundance of parks and open spaces in Adelaide, the beauty of sea in Darwin with its magnificent sunset, the
absence of crowds, the fabulous wine, the lovely sea food including the Baramundi and Salmon fish were a pleasant
change from the heat and dust at home.
I would like to specially thank wendy & Daryl Teague, Jane & Ted Mah, Bogdan Solomon, Sunil Putalpattu and Janak
Mehta for making my visit a memorable one.

Report on IOA-IOS-UK FELLOWSHIP
I started my fellowship on 30 September 2013 at King's college hospital in London. The programme coordinator was
Dr Anand Arya. Myself and two other fellows were extended a warm welcome. I started with trauma meeting at 8am
where we were discussing on an interesting polytrauma case which came over the weekend with pelvic fracture, spine
fracture and chest injuries. There was another case of gunshot injury with shattered femur who had a narrow escape of
his major vessels.
At 9am I was taken to virtual simulator laboratory where the local trainees get trained on arthrosopy and triangulation
techniques and came to know how Dr Venu K and his team was involved in development of this module with
biomedical engineers.
Dr C Rex, IOA senior fellow with BOA President Dr. Martin Porter
We had whole day theatre and watched Dr Anand Arya's surgeries on arthroscopic subacromial decompression,
Coonrad Morrey's total elbow replacement and osteogenic total wrist replacement on a rheumatoid young lady.
Same day evening we had a formal meeting and dinner with IOS-UK members and office bearers.
On 1st October we were taken to Irlingham early morning to reach Medway hospital. Dr. Bejay Sinha, Upper limb
consultant, took us to trauma meeting followed by operation theatre. He showed us a redo plating of volar Barton
fracture which failed in a week's time following the primary surgery. Dr Srinivas took us through posterior approach
total hip replacement in a fracture neck of femur in 67 year old lady. Dr Praveen Sharda showed a case of total
shoulder replacement in an arthritic shoulder. After spending whole day there we moved on to Birmingham on same
day evening to attend the British Orthopaedic Association Meet.
On 2nd and 3rd October I attended British Orthopaedic association meet at Birmingham. The poster presentation on
“Safe corridor techniques in K wiring of phalangeal fractures” was displayed with good reviews from attendees.
On 4th October I came back from Birmingham to attend the last day of my fellowship in King's college hospital,
London. Dr Venu K kindly lined up interesting cases for us to see. I scrubbed up to assist him on difficult primary hip
replacement where there was loss of acetabulum, Papriosky's type 2a. Trabecular metal augmented acetabular cup
was used. A case of femoroacetabular impingement had arthroscopy of hip joint with debridement which was
interesting to watch. Another revision hip replacement was done in posterior approach.
At the end of the day we had a formal discussion with other consultants to give the feedback about the fellowship.
Overall I felt this fellowship was very enriching and knowledge sharing platform with opportunity to meet the experts
in each speciality to discuss and exchange views.
I am grateful to Indian Orthopaedic Association for offering me this fellowship and sponsoring me. I have done my
best in terms of utilisation of this unique opportunity and stood tall up to the expectations and credentials of Indian
Orthopaedic surgeon and this was really appreciated by all UK consultants.

Report of J&J Travelling Fellowship-2013
At the outset we would like to thank the Indian Orthopedic Association for selecting us for the prestigious J & J
Travelling Fellowship for the year 2013. We sincerely thank Dr SKS Marya President IOA, Dr Sudhir Kapoor Hon.
Secretary IOA, Dr KK Pruthi, Dr Atul Bahadur Members of Inland Fellowship committee. It was a wonderful life time
experience for all of us. In a short period we were able to visit many good hospitals and meet many senior and
renowned orthopedic surgeons in major cities of India. This fellowship helped us to enrich our knowledge in many
fields of Orthopedics and will guide us to provide better patient care. We are very grateful to all the Orthopedicians we
visited as they early shared their knowledge, skills and experiences with us in spite of their busy schedule. We would
like to thank all the Local Orthopedic associations for making our stay in their city comfortable and fruitful. We also
thank Mr Ramesh Pandey, Executive Secretary, IOA and Mr Neeraj of IOA house for all the assistance they provided.
We would like to bring to notice of IOA that in many centers we visited there was only some oral presentations,
lectures and discussions, which we felt are not of much use. So we would like to make a small suggestion to the IOA
that in future if these oral presentations and lectures can be avoided and stress more on surgical demonstrations or
operation theatre exposure if done will benefit the fellows.
We would once again like to thank the Indian Orthopedic association for this fellowship and hope to continue our
association with this.

DOA has been committed to academics from the day of its inception and has been growing steadily in that direction. It
was realized that subspeciality events always gather more delegates especially PGs and young surgeons. We are glad
that we are going to cover almost all ortho subspecialities this year. The academic season started with basic trauma
fixation principles course on 15thDec. followed by advance fixation course on 19th March. Both the courses were
over booked and they are going to be our regular features. Spine, Arthroscopy, hand and wrist specialities have been
covered and we are moving on to others.
Another feather in the cap for DOA has been that DOA official Journal JCOT, has been
indexed in Pubmed. Prof Lalit Maini and his team of Dr Hitesh lal and Dr Puneet Mishra
deserves kudos for this effort.
Hope this will bring about further improvement in academic standards, boost its circulation.

The IOACON
Report of IOACON - 2013Organising SecretaryDr. Sanjay Chaturvedi,
On behalf of the organizing committee and my colleagues at Agra Orthopedic Society (AOS), I take this opportunity
to thank Indian Orthopedic Association (IOA) for awarding this prestigious conference, besides all seniors & experts
who graciously participated in the conference, making it a huge success on all counts. IOACON 2013 was truly a
milestone right from the time when we started planning almost 2 years ahead. Huge participation and involvement of
all senior members, faculties, guest speakers and delegates resulted in successful forums, workshops, symposiums,
oral and poster sessions.
The direction of the conference was established early by our first inaugural session speaker Dr. S. Rajasekaran, who
delivered the Kini Memorial Lecture, followed by our other eponymous speakers marking the grand opening of the
historic conference. We were truly elated to havePadmashree awarded Shri Milkha Singh Jifor inauguration, and all
the evenings were power packed with live performances including Ghazals, Jazz and Bollywood music.
In many ways IOACON 2013 was special. It was held at the historical city – Agra, which offers a treat of the rich
cultural & historical heritage which every attendee enjoyed. Presenting a few highlights that added value to the
prestigious event:
a) Since beginning it was decided that IOACON 2013 will be a green conference and to a great extent, recyclable
materials and paperless initiatives were adapted. Extensive planning was done for waste disposal, conservancy,
vehicle emissions control, online trade booking and delegate registration.
b) Abstract Management Methodology: Special emphasis was given to online submission and handling of
abstracts. 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
there itself.
c) In addition, Facebook discussion forum with live exchanges and Mobile-App with real-time updates were
developed specifically for the conference.
d) 16 workshops were conducted and the CME was attended by over 1600 delegates. All the scientific sessions
including poster and paper sessions and lectures were equally well attended.
e) Internationally accredited workshops were held, conducted by various international associations namely –
American Academy, British Foot & Ankle &Kurugun etc.
f) A conference journal was published with a collection of medal session papers and specially invited articles.
g) IOACON 2013 received 24 MCI accredited hours which was first in the history of IOACON.
h) Large pharma companies supported the event through co-branding including a table calendar with IOACON
2013 logo that was distributed to orthopedic doctors pan India in March 2013 and IOACON 2013 branding on

Patient Education CDs (3 topics: Low Back Pain, Back Ache & Osteoporosis) – 2,000 copies each and on Patient
Education Charts (3 topics: Wrist & Fingers, Knee Joint & Shoulder & Elbow) – 10, 000 copies each that were
distributed pan India in June, July & August 2013.
i) A separate Spouse Section, 400 mts.away from the lecture halls was created with full recreational, fun and
learning facilities for children and spouses.
j) A conference Journal was published with a collection of medal session papers and specially invited articles.
k) Three separate areas spreading over 70,000 sq. ft. were created for trade & exhibition including exclusive lounge
area for sponsors.
l) Over 95 Pharma, Surgical and Acedemic companies from India and overseas, participated in the event.
m) IOA Cricket Premier League was held to enhance interaction between state chapters, In which 10 teams
participated. The match was planned on a vast canvas complete with separate color coded match uniforms, cheer-
leaders and round of snacks etc. Orissa won the coveted trophy.
n) Kitbags distributed were of the highest standards with global warranty from American Tourister.
Another first that the Local Organizing Committee decided from the very beginning was to make this conference
academically rich by conducting a methodological study – “Epidemiological Survey of Osteoarthritis in Indian
Population”. The survey with video recording and X-ray was randomly conducted in selected rural and urban areas
across the country and the findings were presented at the conference. The study will purposefully contribute towards
better orthopedic initiatives across India.
The trade area was spread over 70,000 Sq. Ft., and major pharma, surgical and academic companies participated,
contributing over 70% of the overall revenue. Delegate participation was also much higher than previous IOACON's –
Over 5000 delegates from India and overseas, including spouse and accompanying persons attended the conference.
For those who would like to browse the glimpses of IOACON 2013, please visit IOACON channel on Youtubewhere
pictures and videos have been uploaded and will be available for lifetime.
Once again, thanksfor your gracious presence; thanks to my seniors who bestowed their trust on my abilities to
manage such a colossal event; and to everyone who selflessly stood by me in discharging my duties as fairly as
expected and for their guidance which inspired and encouraged us all along. IOACON 2013 truly made the UPOA,
AOS and our state, a proud host.

want to speak on that. Topics should be selected first and speakers later.
Social
Presidential Dinner should be sitting dinner. It should consist of IOA Executive Committee members, Past presidents,
Visiting dignitaries and their spouses.
Banquet
We need the sobriety of banquet to be restored. So that everyone can enjoy and interact.
Restrict the entry to delegates, spouse + a fixed number of invitation card from local reception committee.
Remaining 33 hrs for eponymous lect (3hrs), conference lecture ( 3hrs) , invited lectures ( still could be 108) from
guest invited( national and international). At least 10 hours of interactive sessions where two way interaction can take
place like 6 hrs case presentations, my worst case session, some ( 2hrs) video sessions –how do I do sessions.
• Guest lectures from Indian members- people should submit abstracts for guest lectures – Idea is to know
definitely what is intended to be presented.
• Discussion time should not be curtailed.

Letter on Academy of Indian Orthopaedic Surgeons
Dear all,
The IOA has taken a tremendous leap in last 50 years. Lot more is desired on education front. We have to cater the huge
n/o patients in resource crunch environment. We have to ensure that our trainee attain core competence to serve our
population. We have to ensure that we modify our curriculum as per our needs and able to provide pain relief to one
and all. The academic matter of any association has to be on continuous basis. Although IOA has only academic
functions but it lacks continuity in efforts.
There is a strong need for a non political group of IOA members under the banner of IOA to constantly devote their
time and wisdom to improve on the academic needs of Indian Orthopaedic Association. The sole guiding principles
will be
1. The group (Academy) will be answerable to EC & GB of IOA.
2. The office bearers will be chosen on academic merit only.
This was proposed by me in EC and GB at Agra. The GB authorized a committee of seven office bearers (President
IOA , Hon. Secretary IOA , 2 immediate past presidents IOA, president elect IOA and 2 vice-chancellors) to draft a
working guidelines. The guidelines were drafted and presented to EC on 30 March 2014. These guidelines have to be
thrashed out to create a structure under IOA. We are enclosing the draft of guidelines prepared by the committee for the
purpose.
Please go through it and read it carefully and send you suggestions as
1. Do we need continued forceful efforts to formulate academics policies of IOA.
2. If yes than please give your suggestions on to develop the mechanism.
Please send your suggestions on [email protected]
We shall list all your suggestions and modify the draft to be presented to next EC & if approved by EC to GB at
