I would like to personally welcome you all to the 45th Annual Scientific Meet of our association, KOACON 2021 to be held in Hassan Institute of Medical Sciences, Hassan from 5th to 7th February. This unique scientific meet will be focused on you to customize your academic experiences and to add on to your area of interest / subspecialty to learn and to gain indepth Knowledge and to enhance the value in orthopaedic practice.

Well renowned national and international faculties, committed to their field of subspecialty in orthopaedics will deliver their lectures where one can contribute / contradict scientifically with your personal experience. This will be the right platform for young faculties who are dedicated in their field of interest to show case their work. I personally encourage them as my presidential theme goes with the slogan "ENGAGE, EDUCATE AND EMPOWER" to make young orthopaedic surgeons more resourceful personnel in the society.

We are fortunate to have enthusiastic Hassan Orthopaedic Association to host this unique conference under the able guidance of Dr. Ramakrishna Bhatta and Dr. Sree Ranga N. We all know, Hassan for its hospitality and world renowned historical and sculptural places like Shravanabelagola, Belur and Halebeedu etc, It will be a great family destination also. Kindly plan to join us and make this conference a memorable event.

Once again I seek all your co-operation to make KOACON 2021 Hassan a grand success.
