Asst. Prof. Jidapa Wongcharoenwatana, M.D., Lecturer from the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, was invited to attend the “6th World Congress of ASAMI-BR and ILLRS Societies” held from September 17th – 22nd, 2024, in Beijing, China.

At the conference, Asst. Prof. Wongcharoenwatana contributed in the following capacities:
– Invited speaker on the topic “Bone Grafting and Induced Membrane Technique”
– Moderator for the symposium on “Strategy for Managing Segmental Bone Defects”
– Moderator for the “Rehabilitation and Orthotics Oral Presentation”

Upon returning, Siriraj Hospital stands to benefit greatly from the advanced knowledge and innovative techniques in limb lengthening and complex deformity correction that Asst. Prof. Wongcharoenwatana will introduce. By integrating cutting-edge research and best practices, we aim to improve surgical outcomes and post-operative care, including the use of magnetic lengthening intramedullary nails for patients with leg length discrepancies.

Furthermore, networking with leading experts such as Prof. Paley opens doors for collaborative research, training programs, and workshops, fostering continuous learning and innovation. This will enhance Siriraj’s role as a regional leader in orthopedic care and strengthen our capacity to manage complex cases effectively.
