The organizing team, including Dr. Srinivas Gollangi, Dr. R. Rajesh Kumar Reddy, and Dr. Santosh Ram Gaddam, shared details about the upcoming event. They emphasized that the symposium will not only benefit orthopedic professionals but also raise public awareness about the importance of early diagnosis and effective management of knee-related injuries.

Leading orthopedic specialists from cities like Ahmedabad and Coimbatore will be sharing their expertise on cutting-edge techniques and technological advancements in arthroscopic surgery. Discussions and live demonstrations will cover how this minimally invasive surgical technique can effectively treat internal knee damage. Experts will also delve into modern innovations such as Meniscal Transplants and Cartilage repair techniques.

“Due to poor lifestyle habits, obesity, and increasing involvement in recreational sports without proper preparation, ligament and meniscus injuries have become common even among people in their 20s and 30s,” stated the organizing medical experts, Dr. Srinivas Gollangi, Dr. R. Rajesh Kumar Reddy, and Dr. Santosh Ram Gaddam.

They stressed the critical importance of prompt treatment to prevent chronic pain and permanent joint damage, which can arise if these injuries, often unnoticed in early stages, are left untreated. Untreated injuries can lead to accelerated wear and tear of the knee joint, resulting in premature osteoarthritis and long-term mobility issues.
