Dr. Dhananjay Gupta was invited as National Faculty at the 44th Annual Conference of MPIOACON 2026, held in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, from 9 to 11 October 2026. He delivered a scientific presentation on "Extra-Articular Deformities in Knee Replacement Surgery", sharing his clinical experience in managing complex knee deformities during total knee replacement.
Sharing clinical experience at MPIOACON 2026
The 44th Annual Conference of MPIOACON 2026 was organised by the Gwalior Orthopaedic Society and the Department of Orthopaedics, GRMC, Gwalior, bringing together orthopaedic surgeons, specialists and medical professionals to exchange knowledge and discuss advances in orthopaedic care.
Dr. Dhananjay Gupta took part as National Faculty and delivered a scientific presentation on "Extra-Articular Deformities in Knee Replacement Surgery", sharing his clinical experience and insights into managing complex knee deformities during total knee replacement.
What are extra-articular deformities?
Knee replacement surgery can become particularly challenging when patients have extra-articular deformities — abnormalities in the alignment of the thigh bone (femur) or shin bone (tibia) that lie outside the knee joint itself.
Such deformities may result from previous fractures, malunited injuries or other underlying bone conditions. They require careful pre-operative evaluation and surgical planning to achieve appropriate limb alignment, implant positioning and function after surgery.
Key considerations discussed
During the presentation, Dr. Gupta discussed important considerations in managing these challenging cases, including:
- Understanding the impact of extra-articular deformities on knee alignment.
- Evaluating deformity severity and planning appropriate surgical correction.
- Addressing technical challenges during total knee replacement.
- Considering individual patient anatomy when selecting surgical strategies.
Contributing to scientific knowledge and professional exchange
Participation as National Faculty at MPIOACON 2026 provided an opportunity to share experience with fellow orthopaedic professionals and contribute to scientific discussion on complex knee replacement surgery.
The conference also served as a platform for professional interaction, academic exchange and discussion of evolving approaches to orthopaedic treatment.
A continued commitment to orthopaedic education
Dr. Dhananjay Gupta remains actively engaged in professional education and scientific knowledge-sharing, with a focus on knee replacement, joint reconstruction and the management of complex orthopaedic conditions.
His participation at the 44th MPIOACON reflects this ongoing commitment to clinical learning, professional collaboration and evidence-based orthopaedic practice.
