Dobb Matthew, Paediatric Orthopedic surgeon from Washington University School of Medicine will be visiting India in January 2010 to be part of the POSI meeting. He is the designer of Dobbs splint for CTEV and has published on his techniques on Congenital Vertical Talus and Congenital Knee Dislocation.
IPOD has organized a meeting with Dr Matthew where he  will share  his work and thoughts  on  Clubfoot, CVT, Hyperextension knee in form of his talks on the topics, case discussions and an open house session. I feel this will be a good opportunity to directly discuss the techniques with the master and clarify the doubts.

The meeting is scheduled on the 21st of January 2010 from 1 pm  to 4 pm at  Saifee Hospital Auditorium on the 9^th Floor.

If you want to attend the meeting kindly register with Nivedita at IPOD office by calling on 9320642121 0r 022 -32252121 or email to me at taralnagda@gmail.com or send me an sms with your name on 09820329888

Those who want to discuss cases at the meeting related to the topics of discussion should contact IPOD clinical fellow Dr Kirti Ramnani on 09320329888

Yours

Dr Taral Nagda

Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon
