Kerala has seen a boom revolution in arthroscopy in this decade with crops of new surgical techniques flooding the surgical table. The same has also led to an explosion in revision surgeries with allograft bank in the horizon.
It is apt time therefore to assemble all stalwarts in arthroscopy under one umbrella to discuss and delineate algorithmic protocols and put techniques to litmus test. AASKCON 2026 promises this rendezvous and much more with the theme PRECIS. RIGHT SURGERY FOR THE RIGHT LESION FOR THE RIGHT PATIENT BY THE RIGHT PERSON. On behalf of the Organising committee I therefore ask of each and every aspiring surgeon in Kerala to attend this glorious opportunity and imbibe knowledge and wisdom from pioneers in the field both on and off the stage.

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to this year’s AASKCON, the annual meeting of the Association of Arthroscopic Surgeons of Kerala. Our theme, “Precision,” captures the essence of what defines excellence in arthroscopy.
In arthroscopic practice, precision must guide every stage of patient care—from accurate diagnosis and thoughtful intraoperative decision-making to the execution of the surgical plan and structured postoperative rehabilitation. Each of these steps demands clarity, consistency, and careful attention to detail.
This year’s scientific program has been shaped to reflect this philosophy.I extend my sincere appreciation to the organizing committee of CTOS, faculty, and participants who continue to strengthen the academic spirit of AASKCON. Together, let us reaffirm our commitment to precision and elevate the standards of arthroscopy for our patients and our profession without Ghost surgeons.
Welcome, and wishing you a stimulating and enriching meeting.

It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you all to the annual meeting of AASK to be conducted on May 30 & 31st, 2026, at Kumarakom, Kottayam.
This year’s scientific program theme of “right surgery to right patient by right person” reflects our commitment to advancing arthroscopy and sports medicine through evidence-based practice and collaborative learning. As secretary of AASK, I encourage each of you to take full advantage of the academic sessions, discussions and skill–enhancing fellowship opportunities the meeting offers.
As you all are aware that we have an ample number of arthroscopic surgeons doing very good work throughout the state. Many of these surgeons are still not members of AASK. The poor strength of our association is a great disadvantage for all of us at the national level. Your membership and active participation in the association strengthen our community and drives the continued growth of our specialty.
I invite all members, seniors and young surgeons with interest in arthroscopy to actively participate, share experiences and strengthen the academic spirit that drives our society forward.
Looking forward to meeting you all at the event.
Warm regards
