Dr. David V. Rajan, organising chair of the symposia, while throwing light on the objective of the ‘Aging Knee’ conference, commented, “Aging Knee is more common than is generally realised. If left untreated, it may cause significant impairment in older people. The purpose of this symposium is to raise knowledge of minimally invasive surgery methods and correct diagnosis of ageing knees. Also, HSI (Halt Sports Injuries), an initiative by Ortho-One will be launched in the inauguration of ‘The Athletic Knee’ at Gee Dee Auditorium on June 16.”

Dr. Santosh Sahanand, the organising secretary of the symposia, going into details of the ‘Athletic Knee’ symposium, remarked, “The ‘Athletic Knee’ symposium is targeted towards improving awareness at the grass root level about simple methods that can be adopted in training to enhance performance across major sports. Tips to jump higher, run faster, use mobile phone videos to analyse biomechanics and select the ideal footwear for your sports are just a few of the many tips that would be shared by experts during the event.”
