Lalitpur, 16 July 2024.
AKB center at B&B Hospital has organized 7th B&B arthroscopy Course successfully on 4-6th July, 2024. Last 6 editions have exclusively focussed on Knee surgery.
However, this edition will be focussing exclusively on shoulder ailments/ diseases.
As per Dr. Nagmani Singh,the format was changed as the team noticed that medical knowledge in the field of shoulder surgery is lacking in context of Nepal and its high time to shift the focus on shoulder disease management. Dr. Singh mentioned that the vision is to enhance the knowledge of orthopedic surgeons and future specialists with regard to shoulder pathology management.
The aim of the course was to empower the surgeons with appropriate knowledge so that patients with various shoulder management would be dealt at par with international standards. Several renowned national orthopedic surgeons and world renowned shoulder surgeons from all across the globe gathered to discuss the various aspects of the shoulder problem and impart their insights.
A team of Internationally recognised shoulder surgeons from Australia(Brisbane) led by Dr. Kenneth Cutbush and Dr. Ashish Gupta, Dr. Kapil Kumar from the UK and several faculties from India( Dr. Ashish Babhulkar, Dr. Vivek Pandey, Dr. Bhupesh Karthik, Dr. Mukesh Laddha and Dr. Prathmesh Jain) were the Keynote speakers for the event.
This international conference , conducted over 3 days, was a mix of 4 live surgeries, a pre- course, didactic lectures, debates, and panel discussions focusing exclusively on shoulder ailments. The conference was a huge success with participation of over 140 surgeons from all over Nepal. Team of AKB center (B&B Hospital) plans to conduct this B&B arthroscopy course every year focusing on alternate yearly conferences on knee and shoulder joints.
