Technical Commission

“What I truly enjoy about AOVET, apart from the technicalities of fracture fixations, is the principles behind the decision making of fracture management. I think that for any successful surgeries, the surgical principles which one abides to are extremely important. I have done about 5 AOVET courses and counting and have learnt a lot over the years. I can't wait to transform these knowledge to practice for better patient outcomes, and to also share this with future generations of budding orthopaedic surgeons.”
