Dear Esteemed AOPAS Members,

It is a great honor and privilege to serve as the President of the Association of Pelvi-Acetabular Surgeons (AOPAS). AOPAS was established with the vision of creating a platform where experienced surgeons and young professionals can learn from one another, share innovations, and collectively raise the standards of care. The idea of this association was first mooted at the Golden Jubilee IOACON held in Mumbai in 2005. Our association brings together dedicated orthopedic surgeons committed to advancing the science and art of pelvic and acetabular surgery through excellence in clinical care, education, research, and collaboration.

The management of pelvic and acetabular injuries remains one of the most challenging areas of orthopedic trauma. Continuous learning, meticulous surgical technique, and the exchange of knowledge are essential to achieving the best outcomes for our patients. Over the years, our association has grown into a vibrant academic community that promotes high-quality scientific discussions, hands-on training, multicenter research, and mentorship through conferences, workshops, cadaveric courses and webinars.
