“Welcome Orthopaedicians to the 16th Consecutive North India’s Longest Running Arthroplasty Course”
It gives me immense pleasure to invite you to the 16th Kanpur Arthroplasty Course, to be held on 2nd, 3rd, and 4th October 2026.
We started this course in 2005 with a simple vision - to help young and aspiring surgeons enter the field of Arthroplasty with confidence and the right knowledge. Over the years, the course has grown tremendously. Each edition brings more live surgeries, more interactive discussions, and the latest advancements in orthopaedic practice. It is truly rewarding to see so many surgeons across Central India and beyond applying what they have learned here to deliver outstanding patient care.
This year, we have curated an exciting academic programme designed to meet the evolving demands of modern orthopaedic surgery.
One of the major highlights will be Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Orthopaedics. AI is rapidly transforming the way we learn, analyse data, and make evidence-based clinical decisions. From accessing the latest published research to planning patient-specific treatment strategies, AI is becoming an invaluable tool. We will discuss how to harness its potential to achieve better surgical outcomes and improved patient care.
Another key focus will be the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) to the Hip. While this approach has gained significant popularity, it is important to understand not only its advantages but also its limitations. Through expert discussions and debates, we will explore patient selection, technical considerations, and the dos and don'ts of DAA, helping surgeons make informed decisions in their clinical practice.
We will also address complex revision joint replacement surgeries. Revision procedures remain among the greatest technical challenges in arthroplasty. Through live surgeries and case-based discussions, we will demonstrate practical solutions for managing difficult cases and achieving successful outcomes.
In addition, we are organising two exclusive hands-on workshops with limited seats to ensure personalised learning and meaningful interaction. These workshops are designed to equip participants with practical skills that can be immediately applied in daily clinical practice.
Our goal is simple - to empower every delegate with knowledge, confidence, and practical expertise that translates into better care for every patient. I firmly believe that after these two and a half days, you will return with valuable insights and techniques that will make a meaningful difference in your surgical practice.
As always, learning will be complemented by celebration. Our traditional Cultural Evening, performed entirely by doctors, offers a wonderful opportunity to showcase your talents beyond the operating theatre. Whether you sing, play an instrument, perform classical music, whistle, or possess any other artistic skill, we warmly encourage you to participate and enjoy the camaraderie of our orthopaedic family.
I warmly invite you to join us for the 16th Kanpur Arthroplasty Course on 2nd, 3rd, and 4th October 2026.
I look forward to meeting each one of you for an enriching academic experience, meaningful discussions, and memorable moments together.
See you at the CAC 2026
Best Regards
