| Dr Bharat S Mody, a nationally and internationally recognized Joint Replacement Surgeon working in Baroda and having his Centre for Knee & Hip Surgery , had also submitted a research paper titled "Achieving High Flexion after Total Knee Replacement Surgery" for this competition. This Paper was one of the three selected for this prestigious award. It was the first time that a scientific paper from India was selected for this honor. |
Dr Mody's paper was about a new technique which he has developed, which allows his patients to sit cross legged on the ground after Knee Replacement Surgery. |

| In the routine circumstances, this is not possible. Japanese culture is also a ground culture like our Indian society where people fold their legs fully to perform various activities like praying, marriage, ceremony having community food events, etc. |
