Dear Colleagues,

It gives us immense pleasure to invite you to WIROC Global 2022.

We have faced the pandemic bravely for the last 18 months and have ‘Adapted & Evolved’ to pace the Academics and Learning process in these challenging times. WIROC Global is based on the BOS Presidential theme of ‘Adapt & Evolve’ and will bring out the best of adaptations and evolutions that orthopaedics has undergone recently. With the insights from the pandemic and the rich tradition of Bombay Orthopaedic Society & WIROC, we have formulated a grand vision of ‘WIROC GLOBAL’ that we assure will be an enriching event for every delegate.

WIROC Global is planned to be a full-fledged physical event with maximum academic time. We are offering a ‘Live Surgery Platter’ to the delegates with a preview of 5 operation theatres running parallel with Live discussions and planned 25 surgeries for the viewers. The live surgery session will be followed by a ‘Meet the Master’ session with more than 40 masters presenting their surgical videos and tips and tricks. Academic symposia that from the core attraction of WIROC academics will also have select free papers being presented during relevant sessions. This will ensure our young researcher could present to the best in the field and get the due relevance. There will be hands-on-workshops with dedicated Instructional Course Lectures running on all days of the conference. The plenary Dr. A. K. Talwalkar Symposium this year focuses on Open Fractures which is one of the most common problems in clinical practice and will interest everyone. Other plenary sessions of WIROC namely Dr. R. J. Katrak Oration, K. T. Dholakia Eponymous Lecture and the Veteran and Young surgeons forum with Masalawala best paper session together constitute the ‘Academic Pinnacle’ of WIROC Global

This year we have initiated an extensive BOS outreach program at WIROC Global. We have the National Outreach with five zones of Indian Orthopaedic Association namely, West, North, OASIS, NEROSA and Central zone participating with us with the best of their academics. We have forged a huge International Academic partnership and we are glad to say that more than 60 orthopaedic societies from the nation and internationally are now participating at WIROC Global. These specialised societies will be conducting dedicated sessions at WIROC Global and will bring an amazing array of expert speakers from across the world to the WIROC Global Platform. This huge virtual component of WIROC Global will be running 24 hours Live academic deliberations with the participation of countries and societies from across the Globe promoting the tag ‘WIROC that does not Sleep’

The heavy dose of academics is balanced by a huge opportunity to socialise with friends, network with colleagues and build bonds with industry partners. The entertainment and social events are planned to meet the high standards of WIROC and BOS and to create an unforgettable experience for all delegates

The conference will have the live surgery day on 24th March followed by a full-fledged 3-day physical event from 25-27 March 2022, at Renaissance Powai, Mumbai. Attractive rates and packages have been negotiated to receive a maximum number of delegates.

The organising team is working hard to plan an unforgettable and enriching experience for all of us and we look forward to hosting you at WIROC Global
