With the theme “Keeping PACE in Orthopaedics: Evolving with Evidence,” BOSCON 2026 placed strong emphasis on Practical Academic Case-based Education (PACE) – focusing on real-world clinical learning supported by scientific evidence.
The conference saw robust participation from across Karnataka and neighbouring regions and featured:

Representing the Bangalore Orthopaedic Society, Dr. Subodh Shetty, President, BOS, said: “Orthopaedics today stands at a dynamic crossroads. We inherit a rich legacy built by our teachers and tireless academicians, while simultaneously witnessing unprecedented advancements in robotics, biologics, artificial intelligence, and precision surgery. The true challenge before us is not
merely to adopt innovation, but to integrate it responsibly – guided by evidence and ethical clinical practice. Our conference theme, “Keeping PACE in Orthopaedics: Evolving with Evidence,” underscores the importance of scientific validation and patient-centered outcomes.”
“Orthopaedic practice must evolve as both an art and a science synchronizing clinical expertise with scientific evidence, rather than being viewed merely as a tool for commercial gain,” added Dr Shantharam Shetty, Pro Chancellor – NITTE University, Past IOA President.
