Tweet-- IGOF - Indo German Orthopaedic Foundation is conducting a Master's Course on Spinal Surgery, Trauma Surgery and Joint Replacements. The common man often feels that Doctors are super humans and that they know everything. Science is never static. Technology is changing every minute - So also medicine.
Four decades ago, Surgeons were taught how to immobilize joints rigidly for prolonged periods of time without any movement so that the fractures will heal. But, however, today prolonged rigid immobilization of fractures have given way to early mobilization. It was customary to think that bone and joint surgery will fail. Doctors were afraid of operating on joints. But, today, with the advanced frontiers in medicines, surgery has helped many a crippled person to get back to normal life within a short period of time. Immobilisers have disappeared. Mobilisers have come into being.
The Indo German Orthopaedic Foundation continues to encourage full and free exchange of the latest orthopaedic techniques by conducting 4 International Master's Courses in Orthopaedics in Chennai every year. These have improved the standard of Orthopaedic treatment in this country.
The up coming Master's Course in August 2010 sees giants in the field of spine, trauma and joint replacements discussing the most difficult aspects in Orthopaedics and how to deal with them, July 30,2010 is for stabilization of the spine July 31,2010 is for fractures around the methaphyseas in trauma August 01,2010 is for how to make an artificial joint last a life time (Hip & Knee).
