ISHKS UPDATENewsletter of the Indian Society of Hip & Knee Surgeons

2015Vol. 2, Issue. 1

It gives me great pleasure and honor to continue the legacy of Indian Society of Hip and Knee Surgeons (ISHKS) update in the second edition of our ISHKS newsletter.

A simple breakfast meeting of 26 likeminded Arthroplasty surgeons from across the country with clear objectives and motivation started the beginning of our society's journey. There was great enthusiasm & cemented ship among all 26 founder members. Cheque of 25000 Indian rupees was written by each of us towards the core fund. The aim was to start a vibrant society promoting Education, Research, Indian Joint Registry and Care of Arthritis & give strong position for the surgeons of our country to be taken notice by the rest of the world.

All the members of the committees and governing bodies are nominated and formal elections are done away with most decisions on crucial issues have been on mutual agreement& consensus. The proof of the progressively increasing impact an appreciation of the quality of activities of this society is reflected in the invitation from the Indian Journal of Orthopedics for a special issue on Arthroplasty from ISHKS member group publishing their research work in the journal.

It also gives me great pleasure and honor to invite you for our forth coming 9th annual that is ISHKS 2015 Annual Congress at the Iconic Hotel “THE TAJ MAHAL PALACE” from April 10-12, 2015. With past 8 meeting at Mumbai ,Chennai ,Delhi,

With participation of world famous international faculties like Brian S. Parslely, Harry Rubash, Kenneth Gustke, David Fisher, Thomas Bernasek from USA, Peter Kay from UK, Gianluca Camelliri from Italy and Djordje Lazovic and Wolfgang Klauser from Germany. I am sure it is going to be an academic feast which all of us will cherish upon.

Regarding the status of number of members of our society, we started with 26 founder members in 2006 to 550 strong members in 2014 being part of our society. We also have been able to honor our senior iconic orthopedic professors by offering them complimentary honorary membership to 6 such renowned orthopedic surgeons across the country .They include Dr. N.S. Laud, Dr. P.S. Mani, Dr. K.H. Sancheti, Dr. D. D. Tanna ,Dr. H.R. Jhunjhunwala, Dr. Prabodh Desai

Efforts of our ISHKS Joint registry to gain recognition at international platform has started giving results and now our joint registry is a proud associate member of ISAR( International Society of Arthroplasty Register). Our registry has been recognized by Australian Joint Registry and they have pledged their support and help to our joint registry in developing and maintaining better quality of data. The AAHKS also sent a special invitation with complimentary registration to our society members to attend the annual Meeting of 2014 held at Dallas, Texas November 6 to 9 .The meeting was attended by Dr. Javahir Pachore & Dr. H.P.C. Kincha on behalf of ISHKS. Our society was also represented at “International Consensus

Meeting on Periprosthetic Joint Infection” an event attended by 400 delegates from 52 countries and over 160 societies chaired by Dr. Javad Parvizi & Dr. Thorsten Gekhre . The representative in this event on behalf of ISHKS was Dr. Srinand Vaidya & Dr. Parag Sancheti.

Regarding future activities of our society, we are in the process of starting “ISHKS Certified Arthroplasty Course” from June 2015 which is going to be one full year fellowship course. It will be a unique course being offered in for the first time in our country to any qualified orthopedic surgeon who wants to pursue his future in the specialty of joint replacement surgery. It is going to be a well-structured course like M. Ch. with university level training, Evaluation and accreditation and recognition. Further detail of the course, its structure can be accessed on

With advent of technology and smart phones entering in to our lives ,we are coming up with mobile application which will be both android and iOS based and will give full access to ISHKS meeting, conference proceedings and video presentations of lectures on the users Smartphone.

Lastly, on the personal front, I humbly admit that it is a privilege and honor to occupy presidential chair with so many senior and accomplished members supporting our society to take it towards newer heights. With continued efforts from all of us, I believe that there is nothing unachievable and we will be guiding lamp to the world in coming decade.

Two Landmark Achievements of ISHKS IN 2014

ISHKS Delegation at American Association of Hip & Knee Society Meeting

ISHKS collaboration with Australian Joint Replacement registry (AOANJRR)

American Association of Hip & Knee Society – Invitation to Indian Hip & knee Association

One of the mile stone of ISHKS is the invitation from AAHKS. The efforts were started by Dr S.V. Vaidya who was the first member of AAHKS from India. This invitation was forwarded to the president of ISHKS to attend International committee meeting. The main agenda of the meeting was to have a joint venture between the two associations for conducting various activities related to Hip & Knee arthritis. This meeting was attended by various International reputed surgeons from other part of the world, to name the few are Korea, Japan, Taiwan, China etc. The chairman of the meeting was Dr. William J. Maloney. Dr. J. A. Pachore suggested during the meeting that there should be a platform for the International surgeons to present their work during annual AAHKS meeting. This was welcome by the committee and they will decide after their executive board discussion. There was a fair degree of positive response from the International committee. This international forum will be a platform to represent our experience. The news letters of AAHKS quote as

International Collaborations

ISHKS – Associate member of International Society of Arthroplasty Registry (ISAR)

ISHKS has become an associate member of International Society of Arthroplasty registry (ISAR). ISAR is emerging as a central body for joint registry in the world. At preset it has only 12 permanent members who have more than 90% compliance level for their data and rest has joined as an associate members. This is one of the recent achievements that ISHKS has obtained since it has been formed. Central collection of data would be the future to do justice to the Arthroplasty community to have exchange of data's among v a r i o u s r e g i s t r i e s . Registry has the only tool which can predict the trend of the joint performance. The new concept of patient performance is emerging though ISAR in near future w h i ch c a n b e n e f i t individual Arthroplasty surgeon. ISHKS data will be presented at Gothenburg ISAR meeting in May 2015.

T h e y e a r 2 0 1 4 h a s been a g o o d year for ISHKS. W e started o f f

with a very successful well attended conference at Pune organized by Dr Parag Sancheti and Dr Hemant Wakankar. In this one year, we have made significant efforts to overcome the teething troubles we have had with the new ISHKS joint replacement structured course which is slated to start by June 2015. In the meanwhile, in an effort to not lose our focus on imparting quality training to surgeons in Joint replacement surgery, we have continued with our usual fellowship program for this year and admitted 4 fellows under various consultants in various centres in India, arranged by the sincere efforts of our Fellowship chair, Dr Milind Patil.

We have also welcomed 64 new members to our society. We wish the new members a long and fruitful association with the society and only wish they would contribute as much as they would take away in terms of knowledge and experience. Our registry program has been making g reat str ides under the able stewardship of our founder president, Dr Pachore. It is a matter of pride that our registry has been now accepted for accreditation with the International Joint Replacement registry. The American Society of Hip and Knee surgeons extended a warm welcome to Our Society for their annual meeting in Dallas Texas. Our society was represented at Dallas by Dr Pachore and Dr Khincha. We wish that our partnership with AAHKS will contribute in great measure to furthering the health and quality of life of our patients who come in need of joint replacement surgery.

Thank you.
