“The hands-on workshop with many practical models displayed was a great opportunity for junior orthopaedic surgeons. Experts with decades of experience shared their knowledge and many important facets of knee replacement surgery were discussed and debated,” Dr. Jagan Mohan Reddy, senior orthopaedic surgeon, SLG Hospitals and workshop coordinator, said.

Orthopaedic surgeons said that sedentary lifestyle is leading to an alarming rise in number of people suffering from osteoarthritis and other problems that lead to bone degeneration, which ultimately necessitates a procedure like knee replacement.
