I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Pushpinder Bajaj, Dr. Lalit Maini and Biotek for providing me the opportunity to learn and develop my knowledge and skills in arthroscopy through the ISKSAA BIOTEK TRAVELLING FELLOWSHIP 2023.

I have been very lucky to work under one of the pioneers of Arthroscopy in the country, Dr. David Rajan sir. His clinical acumen as well as surgical skills have been an eye opener to me. His easy approach for advanced shoulder and knee arthroscopy was worth witnessing. I could not resist myself in appraisal of Dr. Santosh Sahanand sir a wonderful surgeon and cheerful person. Under him I got to observe several knee arthroscopy procedures like ACL reconstructions by PBTB, Hamstring grafts, various meniscus repair techniques, ALL reconstruction and Mosaicplasty. Dr. Shyam Sundar sir is also a great surgeon and very cheerful man. Shoulder arthroscopy has always been a difficult subject for me. Observing Shyam sir perform various shoulder arthroscopic surgeries like Arthroscopic supraspinatus repair, subscapularis repair, subacromial decompression, various types of biceps long head tenodeses and bankart repair with remplissage has really cleared my concepts. All the fellows and staff were also very friendly and helpful in every regard.

The CME and audit on Tuesday and Thursday were a good learning session and taught me about graft harvesting, acl tunnel placements and meniscus repair techniques. Overall, it was a great experience for me working here as an Observer for 1 week, i.e., from 13/02/23 to 18/02/23 and I got to learn so many new techniques and I acquired several new skills during my observership. I thank all the mentors and ISKSAA for giving me such a memorable experience for my observership.
