3 FROM THE PRESIDENT S DESK Behold - Future of Orthopaedics is here!! Dr. Arvind Goregaonkar President Greetings to all my fellow colleagues!! Let me take this opportunity to thank all the members of this esteemed society for giving me the privilege to humbly serve the BOS. We are all aware that with time, many innovations have revolutionized our day-to-day life. E-Wallets, digitalization at workplaces, smart phones, driverless cars, etc. The field of Orthopaedics has not stayed away from this change and there has been a constant influx of newer technology and newer concepts. Some of this technology has proven very useful while some has not stood the test of time. My genuine belief is that, love it, hate it but one cannot ignore this revolution! I propose to implement this theme; Vision Orthopaedicus: Navigating the Future as the BOS Theme for With this theme, we want to introduce everyone and make aware of newer techniques, technology and concepts in the management of orthopaedic conditions. These will help in improving the diagnostic and therapeutic accuracy of treatment, early recovery and rehabilitation of patients. The BOS conducts various academic activities like Clinical Meetings, Master Series, Instructional Courses on trauma and various other sub-specialities. All the conveners for the various BOS instructional courses are well qualified to run excellent courses. I would request all the conveners to plan their course well and select appropriate faculty. I would also urge them to include theme related session / talk in their respective course, which will include newer trends, concepts and their application for the benefit of patients. All the conveners must procure MMC credit points for their respective courses. WIROC attendance has grown steadily over the past few years making it one of the most reputed conferences, known for its scientific content. This year, I plan that WIROC will have a blend of solid conventional orthopaedic content in addition to dedicated sessions on the newer technology and concepts. I believe that each of the delegates will want to take a sneak peek into the future in various sub-specialities of Orthopaedics. The young orthopods will surely get inspired into developing further on these ideas and have their own innovations. The other part that I intend to focus on is the social aspect of Orthopaedics. Today, the image of doctors in general, has taken a beating. All would agree that patients impression of doctors has not been very pleasant, for various reasons. One of my other focus is to attempt to improve the image of doctors and also create public awareness of common orthopaedics conditions in general public. I propose to use social media for the same. Its power to connect to people in a short span of time has been phenomenal. It is my modest appeal to all members of BOS to conscientiously work towards rebuilding ethical practices and orthopaedic camaraderie by repeated deliberations on the same which will help and benefit the patients. I am indeed lucky to have a wonderful EC by my side. I assure you that the members will be feasting on some excellent, precise and up-to-date scientific content all through the year by way of Clinical Meetings, Master Cares & Master Shares, Instructional Courses and WIROC. I once again thank the BOS members for their constant support and I look forward to the same in the coming year! 3

4 FROM THE SECRETARY S DESK Dear senior members and friends, Bombay Orthopaedic Society is a mirror that truly reflects the spirit of the multifaceted city that it represents. I am both humbled and overwhelmed to have been assigned a pivotal part in shaping the path things to come for these two years Dr. Rujuta Mehta Secretary Clinical meetings are the pride of BOS from the inception of the society. They are the foundation whereby we strengthen our roots and clinical acumen. Clinical acumen is a fast-disappearing skill in coming generations and hence I urge the post-graduates to make it a point to attend them. Registration is free but compulsory via the BOS Mobile App (BOS App is available for download on Google Playstore [Android] & Appstore [IOS] ). I also urge the attending members to adhere to the guidelines set by the chairperson about conduct of discussions during the clinical meetings so that we respect the privacy of the patients and their sentiments about problematic cases. Photography and video recording of the cases during the clinical meeting will not be permitted under any circumstances. Feedback will be online and certificates will be issued only after submission of feedback form on the BOS App / Website. BOS has been a front runner in holding multiple focused speciality operative and teaching courses. This year, they have all been streamlined and time table has been sealed, avoiding any overlap with the flagship activities viz. the Master Series and BOS Clinical Meetings. We are introducing a new administrative feature to regulate these activities. For each course, the EC will appoint BOS Observers to ensure the smooth conduct and adherence to BOS guidelines as a double-check mechanism in addition to the MMC Observers. Feedback will be online and certificates will be issued only after submission of feedback form on the BOS App / Website. I wish to appeal each of you to join hands with us in celebrating various special days; Bone & Joint Day and BOS Foundation Day, by way of public service activities with festive ferver. It is the perfect opportunity for us to change the outlook of society towards our fraternity and bring to the forefront the Good Samaritan facet of the BOS. It is the need of the hour to create a positive impact and get media coverage for the right reasons in contemporary times. The BOS's Journal is now featured in the Index Copernicus, a matter to rejoice. It has been a herculean task for the editorial team. They need to be both congratulated and encouraged. I request all of you, especially the senior members, to contribute their original articles and research papers to the same to enhance popularising and eventually indexing the same. BOS has been supporting a number of research initiatives. These proposals represent the entire society and hence the criteria must be rigorous. It is vital to have a set format in which these proposals need to be submitted and screened before submission to the Research Funds Committee. Submissions which meet all the pre-requisites only will be sent forward. The format is available for download on They say well begun is half done as I begin this term as the first woman to be elected to the Secretary's post of the BOS: I seek blessings, support, understanding and encouragement in all my endeavours to strengthen the ethos and camaraderie of our society at large. Sincerely signing of... Dr. Rujuta Mehta 4
