Silver Jubilee Pre-Conference Workshops
Rawalpindi- Islamabad
2nd Announcement
It gives us great pleasure to send out second announcement for Pre-Conference Workshops of Silver Jubilee ORTHOCON 2011. The idea of holding these workshops has been well received by the orthopaedic community and we are sure that it would raise the image of our annual moot to a truly scientific event. We are confident that the conference and workshops would be truly educationally rewarding events and would fulfill our theme of “Training For All”
In consultation with our colleagues and course coordinators we are issuing this program for the Pre-Conference Workshops which would be finalized by first week of September 2011. We are happy to announce that a ninth workshop has also been included for “Management of Club Foot and Ponsetti technique”.
Please note that few changes have been made in the time and venue of various workshops. A significant change has been made by Director of AO SEC workshop and AO Foundation. This workshop is now for one day on non operative treatment fractures and POP techniques. Due to administrative reasons AO Foundation could not be convinced for arranging the originally planned workshop. We regret this change and give the registrants an option to review their participation according to the new program.
An ATLS workshop was very well received and has been fully registered. We regret that we cannot accept further registration for ATLS workshop. The registration for ATLS workshop is now CLOSED.
The final announcement would be made by 15th September 2011. Due to other minor changes please check the dates and venue of the workshop you have chosen to avoid last minute confusion. You would also find slight variation in the registration fees which have been made in consultation with the course directors. As already highlighted the workshops are being heavily subsidized (up to 50% at times) for the members of the orthopaedic community. The short fall would be borne by the organizing committee to fulfill our commitment to impart training to all.
As announced previously the spaces for each workshop are limited and would be filled on first come first serve basis. The last date has been advanced to 30th Aug 2011 to give an opportunity to aspirants who have not registered so far. So please register early to avoid disappointment at the last moment. You can register on line by logging on http//Pak ORTHOCON 2011 or you can send your registration by post to conference secretariat at Shifa International Hospital, H8/4 Islamabad.
Hope to see you in Rawalpindi- Islamabad and hope you have a truly intellectually and scientifically rewarding experience.

Workshop III
Pre-Conference Ilizarov Course
Transosseous Osteosynthesis in Traumatology and Orthopaedics
Oct 12-13, 2011
Course Organized under the auspicious of ORTHOCON 2011 in Collaboration with ASAMI Pakistan
Introduction:
There is a lot of potential of Ilizarov technique in the treatment of complex orthopaedic problems. Most of these problems are managed in the ‘conventional’ way which is fraught with complications and poor outcomes.In line with the theme of the conference “Training for All” we are planning to organize a two days course.The course will concentrate primarily on improving the understanding of the basic procedures that an orthopedic trainee has to perform. Recent advances in Ilizarov techniques will also be discussed.
Course Objectives:
- Spread the Ilizarov message of distraction osteogenesis to our postgraduates.
- Develop an understanding of the various indications and contraindications of this technique.
- Understand the basic principles of application of the apparatus and its various components.
- Develop skills of application of a basic Ilizarov frame for fracture reduction.
- Develop skills deformity assessment and frame application for deformity correction and limb lengthening.
Format of the Course:
Topics will be taught in three main ways.
- Comprehensive lectures will concentrate on the understanding of core material, emphasizing the scientific rationale for the advocated treatment.
- Practical sessions will teach the application of Ilizarov principles to common diaphyseal and articular fractures on real size, artificial bone models, using Ilizarov instruments and implants.
- Case discussion with the experts panel will help understand the practical concepts.
At the end of the course, it is hoped that the participants will have gained sound understanding of the principles relevant to the management of musculo-skeletal trauma and deformity.
Participants:
This is a Basic Course intended mainly for orthopedic trainees with minimum of four year training in general orthopedics and evidence of interest in learning Ilizarov technique. Candidates with a fresh postgraduate degree within the last three years can also apply. Final selection will be made from pre-determined selection criteria.
Total Number of Participants:
In order to give hands op experience to all participants, their number is restricted to 16 which would be done on first come first serve basis.
