Arthrokochi

Arthrokochi was exhausting time for the organisers. I feel the team did a good job in the circumstances and would definitely like to improve the content, lessen the boredom being more interactive with 2 live surgeries max.

The interest amazed all of us and truly feel humbled and happy that there is tremendous interest in arthroscopy. had some comments as to knee sessions were better, as well as some lectures were too theoritical. Do wish to thank all the delegates , my friends, colleagues, LORC team and most of all the faculty and Sunder for all their contribution.
Some of the answers to following questions interest us.
Will the conference have a change in one's Surgical practise?
Did it untie some of the knots in our practise?.
Will the new implants, PRP, surgical technique improve the patient outcomes or some insurance clerk will kill it?
Any comments, Critical first.

24 year old army captain with history of recurrant dislocation. Positive apprehension for anterior instability. No ligamentous laxity. Xrays showed indistinct anterior inferior border of glenoid. Therefore CT scan was done in addition to MRI. This confirmed a large anterior inferior glenoid fragment with a Hill Sachs lesions.


Any comments

we decided to increase the glenoid ARC as descibed by de beers and others. It is an extraarticular enlargement of the arc with a corocoid transfer.
