The 11th Middle East Orthopaedic Conference will focus on the impact of the knee from birth to the golden years. As technology changes and the population ages, the public health challenges to mobility will become increasingly demanding. Demonstrating the value of care for these knee issues is an important imperative to the orthopaedic community in the region. With an ageing population, the knee joint is one of the biggest and fastest growing problems within the field of orthopaedics. Since the region hosts a mixture of cultures, physicians are encountering more varied types of knee problems, ranging from sports injuries to problems due to the motion of praying. Over the course of two action-packed days, the 11th edition of the orthopaedic conference will provide delegates with the opportunity to learn new techniques, methods and surgical procedures ascertaining to the knee, ultimately helping to improve patient outcome and experiences.
