Dear Doctor,

Greetings from IGOF. Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu have shared a close relationship in the field of healthcare in the last 200 years. The Indo-German Orthopaedic Foundation celebrates the best innovation and technology in the field of trauma and orthopaedics in India and Germany.

We are overjoyed that the upcoming course on Trauma and Revison Joint Replacement will take place in Visakhapatnam on July 26th, 27th and 28th, 2013. The aim of the Indo-German Orthopaedic Foundation is to highlight young orthopaedic surgeons and involve as many upcoming specialists in the field of trauma and orthopaedics within the region. A novel approach to increase the interaction across the age groups as well as between experts and budding orthopaedic surgeons has led to the creation of several interesting programs. The Mohandas Weller Award, The Grand Orthopaedic Quiz, The Great Debate and “My Worst Case” all add to the enrichment of this conference.

I urge you to be present on all the days of the conference to have an all round view of trauma and orthopaedics and to engage actively in the live surgery sessions every afternoon.

Looking forward to welcoming you in person.

With best regards, Yours sincerely, Dr. P Mohandas Secretary, IGOF.
