Team VOS takes great pleasure to invite you for a unique event :
“VOS Bone & Joint Infection Meet”
to be held on 7th Oct 2018 at Hotel Centre Point, Nagpur.
For this meeting we are privileged to have Dr Vikas Agashe sir who has a huge body of work and is a leading authority on osteoarticular infections in India.
The uniqueness of this meeting is the emphasis on preventive aspects where the faculty consisting of orthosurgeons, microbiologist, infectious disease specialist & resource person are going to enlighten us on all the steps that can be taken to reduce the incidence of post op infections.
This is going to be followed by interactive case based discussions where Dr Agashe is going to elaborate on “The six legged chair” approach to manage osteoarticular infections.
