Overview

We were proud to successfully host the inaugural edition of the Advanced Orthopaedics Physiotherapy Conclave (AOPC 2025) on 23rd March 2025 at ITC Grand Central, Mumbai.

With over 350 delegates in attendance, the event marked a significant milestone in strengthening collaboration between orthopaedic surgeons and physiotherapy professionals.

The theme “All About ACL” created a focused academic environment dedicated to one of the most complex and commonly encountered injuries in sports medicine.

Convened by Dr. Abhishek Kini and Dr. Miten Sheth, AOPC 2025 brought together leading clinicians for immersive learning, live clinical demonstrations and high-level interdisciplinary discussions.
