It is my great pleasure to welcome you all to the combined meeting of the 25th meeting of Thai Hip and Knee Society and the Asia Pacific Organization of Knee Arthroplasty (THKS & APOKA 2023). This year’s meeting is particularly special as we celebrate a quarter century of THKS, and we are honored to host this event at the Sheraton Hotel in Hua-hin, Thailand from 2-4 December 2023.
Over the past 25 years, THKS has been at the forefront of advancing the field of hip and knee arthroplasty in Thailand and beyond. The society has played a pivotal role in promoting education, research, and collaboration among orthopaedic surgeons, and has contributed significantly to improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
The theme of this year’s meeting, “25th Anniversary of THKS” reflects on the society’s achievements and milestones over the past 25 years. It also provides an opportunity to reflect on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in the field of hip and knee surgery.
The meeting will bring together leading experts, researchers, and practitioners from around Thailand and the world to share their knowledge, experience, and insights on the latest developments in hip and knee arthroplasty. The program will feature a range of keynote lectures, symposia, free papers, cases consultations, and workshops.
In addition to the scientific program, the meeting will also provide ample opportunities for networking and socializing, allowing participants to connect with colleagues and peers from around the world.
On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the participants, sponsors, and partners who have contributed to making this event possible. We hope that you will find the meeting informative, engaging, and enjoyable, and that it will inspire new ideas and collaborations that will advance the field of hip and knee arthroplasty for years to come.
Once again, welcome to the combined meeting of the 25th meeting of Thai Hip and Knee Society and the Asia Pacific Organization of Knee Arthroplasty (THKS & APOKA 2023). We look forward to an exciting and productive meeting.
