Imphal, January 19 2023:
Under the aegis of Indian Orthopaedic Association, Northeast Regional Orthopaedic Surgeons' Association (NEROSA), Manipur Chapter organised the 36th Northeast Regional Orthopaedic Surgeons' Conference (NEOSCON) at JNIMS auditorium on Thursday.
The conference was attended by JNIMS director Dr L Deben Singh as chief guest, Indian Orthopaedic Association president Dr Atul Srivastava as president and JNIMS medical superintendent Dr Kh Lokeshwar Singh as guest of honour.
Speaking at the event, Dr L Deben conceded that he previously thought that the subject orthopaedic only deals with bone fracture, but realised that there are numerous others including fitting of artificial limb, treatment of upper limb fracture, spine, knee replacement and other treatment methods.
Three lower limb implantations have been done since he became the director of JNIMS and free treatment was given to impoverished patients, the director said.
He also expressed confidence that the conference will generate opportunities to discuss with one another and added that such conference should be encouraged by every medical practitioner.
Stole and citations were presented to NEROSA senior members during the conference.
