On the occasion, Organising Secretary, Dr Uday Krishna Myneni, noted that pelvic and acetabular injuries are among the most critical in emergency medicine, with a high mortality rate if patients do not receive treatment within the first six hours of the injury.

The workshop aimed to bridge the gap in specialised training to ensure more surgeons are equipped to handle such high-stakes emergencies and save lives during the ‘Golden Hour’. Organising Chairman, Dr P L Srinivas, senior surgeon Dr Ramesh Kumar Sen from Chandigarh, led the hands-on training sessions.

Members of the TOA advocated for public safety, urging the community to exercise caution and avoid rash or drunken driving, which are the leading causes of such severe injuries.
