Dear Friends,

Please accept my warm greetings onbehalf of Indian Orthopaedic Association! This issue of IOANews is timed to apprise all the members regarding the proceedings of summer executive committee meeting of IOA. It also gives an insight into the pace of IOA work and policies. I think, this issue fulfils both the aims well.

The IOA summer executive committee meeting of this year has been different because the format has been changed to accommodate wide agenda in a short period of time. You will find very detailed report and minutes of this meeting.

The present President theme and President-Elect theme have been elaborated and explained by the respective authors.

Another modification has been made by giving photographs of Presidents and Secretaries of different state chapter of IOA so that all the members recognize them.

I sincerely hope that you will like this issue and your suggestions are most welcome.

Happy reading.

With best wishes,
SudhirK.Kapoor
Secretary - IOA
