Orthopedic Advances: Bahawalpur Hosts 23rd Pelvic and Acetabular Surgery Workshop*

The 23rd Pelvic and Acetabular Surgery workshop was recently held at the Orthopedic ward of Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Bahawalpur. The event, under the direction of Professor Masood Umer, President-elect of the Pakistan Orthopaedic Association, and coordinated by Professor Naseer Chaudhry, HOD at BVH, showcased a significant gathering of over 60 young faculty members and senior residents from across various districts of Punjab and Sindh, including Karachi.
