1. Ivan Brenkel (UK)
2. Evert smith (UK)
3. Mengnai Li (USA)
4. Tanvir Sadique (UK)
5. Umer Butt (UK)

All international & national speakers shared their experience, with discussions on current concepts, case based discussions and debates on controversial issues of Hip & Knee Arthroplasty. The symposium helped to have updated information and guidelines and will certainly build up the confidence of our orthopaedic surgeons.
