TRAUMA MODULE
Children are not miniature adults. In pediatric trauma, many of the anatomic factors are not visible in the radiographs and the periosteum is one of them. This trauma module is sure to trigger a transformation in the understanding of skeletal trauma by highlighting the role of periosteum in fracture healing, the skill of looking at this invisible entity and utilising its attributes to achieve desirable outcomes. |
| 09:30 - 10:30 Hrs |
INFECTION MODULE
What is the evidence based practice in children’s osteoarticular infections? What are the usual and unusual presentations? What is unique about neonatal infections? What investigations are sensitive? How long to continue injectable antibiotics? How to suspect, confirm and treat Tubercular infections? These are the questions this infection module is designed to seek answers to. |
| 15:30 - 16:30 Hrs |
NEUROMUSCULAR MODULE
This module will provide update on current evidence on Cerebral Palsy, Myopathies, Muscular Dystrophies, Developmental Delays, Neural Tube Defects and other neuromuscular disorders. This session will also provide guidelines for assessment and management of each of these entities. |

SPORTS INJURY MODULE
Every other kid in this country is a sports enthusiast. As involvement in sports activities is increasing, so are injuries and concerns regarding their effect in performance. Orthopaedic surgeons must have a crisp idea about sports injuries and similar conditions like discoid meniscus, patellar instability, hyperlaxity syndromes, popliteal cysts, Osteochondritis, rigid and symptomatic flatfeet etc. This module aims to settle common doubts regarding these issues. |
| 10:15 - 12:00 Hrs |
EXPERT’S PREFERRED TECHNIQUE
This is a roller coaster of rapid sequence of video lectures. This crash course is studded with vital video techniques of office practice like casting etc and surgical procedures which are common in orthopaedic practice. This session is set to pace the tempo of the conference and keep everyone on their toes while providing valuable tips. |

PEARLS IN PRACTICE FOR MID - CAREER PEDIPOD
This is an immensely enriching session for the established Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgeons which discusses the common issues in a pedipod’s professional life. Setting an establishment, expanding practice, making a change in the society, teaching, opening fellowship programs, giving it back to the society, formulating guidelines, contributing to research; these are few of the goals a pedipod looks forward to. For a young pedipod, this session will provide a peek into the future and prepare him for what is going to come. |
