Message From Congress President

Dear Colleagues,

With folded hands, on behalf of the entire Organizing Team & the Host Nation - India, I welcome you to the 25th Congress of the Asia-Pacific Orthopaedic Association, at the Jaipur Marriott, Rajasthan, India from February 4-7, 2026.


The weather in Jaipur in February hits the sweet spot - warm yet dry days, pleasant balmy evenings and cool comfortable nights. It would be an ideal time for all of you to be in Jaipur - 25 degrees Celsius in the day and 12 degrees Celsius in the night.

The Academic Program would include options to engage each one of us with either conventional or contemporary interest. Interactive sessions pitching the young surgeons face to face with the old warhorses would generate wisdom from the knowledge and information available. The “WHY” (Purpose) vs the “HOW” (Process) vs the “WHAT” (Product) of invasive and non-invasive interventions in Orthopaedics would be discussed threadbare.

Ram Chaddha

Congress President

The brotherhood and warmth of the APOA would allow ample opportunities to rekindle old relationships and spark new ones amongst us from the 24+ member societies.

It is a matter of huge honour to solicit your presence at “APOA - 26 JAIPUR”.
