The Imperial College, London is one of the classis bastions of English scholarship. It is not an every event that they would invite people from developing countries to teach their audience. The Orthopaedic Surgery Department of Imperial College organizes an annual event called ‘The Great Debate’ where top surgeons from across the world are invited to convey their original ideas to surgeons from different parts of United Kingdom. The meeting is considered an apex level scientific platform in the field of Total Joint Replacement Surgery.
Dr Mody delivering lecture on 'Obtaining high flexion after Total Knee Joint Replacement' in 'The Great Debate ' at Imperial college, London(U.K)
This year the organizing committee invited Dr Bharat S Mody, an eminent Orthopaedic Surgeon from Vadodara, Gujarat, India, to deliver a lecture on ‘Obtaining High Flexion after Total Knee Joint Replacement’. Dr Mody has developed a unique surgical technique which allows his patients to achieve the ability to bend their knees fully so that they can sit cross legged on the floor.
In the Western world it is experienced by patients that after Total Knee Replacement they can not bend their knees more than 90 degrees.
However, in India, patients demand that after surgery they should be able to bend their knees at least up to 135 degrees. It is this need and aspiration of his patients which motivated Dr Mody to focus on this aspect of Total Joint Replacement Surgery and develop this unique technique which has been recognized and is appreciated at the international level.
It is for the first time that an Indian has been invited as a teaching faculty at this prestigious event.
In an interview Dr Mody said “ It is a great pleasure for me to receive this invitation because I started my journey in this area of surgical expertise as a student in United Kingdom 15 years ago, and today the wheel has turned a full circle and I am invited back as a teacher!”.
Dr Mody has been receiving invitations from all over the world to teach this technique to other doctors. Dr Mody is the Director & Chief Joint Replacement Surgeon of ‘Centre for Knee & Hip Surgery’, Race Course Circle, Vadodara, Gujarat.
Dr Mody is representing India on the international executive board for the Asia Pacific Arthroplasty Society.
