The IOA conference, themed 'Navigating Into the Future,' has successfully explored unprecedented possibilities in the orthopedic field.'

Dr. Anup Agrawal, the Scientific Secretary, said, 'There is a prevalent deficiency of Vitamin D among children nowadays, increasing the risk of deformities. The lack of adequate calcium levels in readily available market milk is one reason. Additionally, children are becoming more reliant on items like pasta and instant noodles, while our traditional Indian meals which  include dal, vegetables, roti, salads, provide sufficient calcium and Vitamin D. Our understanding of pediatric orthopedics has improved. Common issues like elbow or knee misalignments can now be treated without surgery or successfully through operative measures. Specialization in orthopedics has become pivotal, with the emergence of pediatric orthopedic specialties.'
