ISKSAA Aberdeen shoulder Travelling Fellowship 2018 Report

I sincerely thanks Dr. Pushpinder Bajaj, Dr. Lalit Maini, Dr. Kapil Kumar and team ISKSAA for giving me this opportunity.

Woodend Hospital, is tertiary referral institute at Granite city, Aberdeen. I was accompanied by cofellows, Dr. Prabhakar and Dr. Vinit from September 23 to Oct 5, 2019. Dr. Kapil Kumar guided us through our Visa and travel process. He himself received fellow at Aberdeen airport. On first day Dr. Avinash guided us to OT, where Dr. Kapil Kumar introduced us to other consultants and OT staff. He gave history, imaging and plan for all patients in his list. Throughout surgeries he was patient enough to clear our doubts. We attended six theatres and observed a wide variety of surgeries including Arthroscopic Rotator cuff repair, Arthroscopic Bankart Repair, posterior labrum repair, Arthroscopic Sub acromial decompression, Chronic AC joint disruption treatment with various modalities, TotalShoulder replacement, Reverse shoulder replacement, THR, TKR, Hallux valgus osteotomies, tennis elbow release, OCD fixation.

It was also a delight to observe and interact with other consultants Mr. David Cairns, Mr. Kash Khan, Mr. S Baker, Mr. S Barker at Woodend Hospital, who were warm and receptive. This gave a platform for a discussion on their protocols and approach towards the cases.

We were fortunate to attend the Aberdeen Shoulder meeting on 4th and 5th of October, 2019 at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary where Dr. Jaap Williams, Dr. Cormac Kelly, Dr. Mark Falworth and Dr. Simon Bell gave an insight into their wealth of experience along with Dr. Kapil Kumar. It was followed by dinner.

We visited the Highlands - Inverness, Loch Ness, Stonehaven with majestic Dunnotar castle at the weekend and Edinburgh, London en route. Aberdeen itself is beautiful city with many historical buildings and beach.

This altogether made up for a truly memorable experience both in terms of Work and play.

Once again I would like to convey my earnest respects and gratitude. I also thank my friends and fellow partners in the journey Dr. Parbhakar and Dr. Vinit.

Dr. Anil Gulia,

Associate Professor - Orthopedics,
