Advanced Protocols

Who says non-surgical MSK care is just about physiotherapy and painkillers? Welcome to the sharp end of non-operative orthopaedics - where technology meets tissue healing, and where evidence talks louder than tradition. This session delves into cutting-edge therapies that are quietly redefining how we treat chronic musculoskeletal pain and soft tissue injuries.

We’ll kick off with the latest consensus on Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) for OA Knee and Sacroiliac Joint pain. Still confused about when to choose RFA over surgery or steroid injections? Wondering whether to go conventional, cooled, or pulsed RF? We’ll clear the air with case-based discussions, indications, and outcome data you wish you knew earlier.

Orthobiologics aren’t just a buzzword anymore. Learn where PRP, PRF, and other regenerative injectables actually deliver — from rotator cuff tears to pesky tendinopathies. And no, we won’t sugarcoat it - you’ll get clarity on protocols, patient selection, and what PRF scaffolds in cartilage and meniscus repair mean for your clinic.

For the proceduralists who love a quick OPD injection, our Panel on Safe Pain Interventions in OPD (yes, we’ll address the infamous Ortho-Pain turf wars) will discuss limits, risks, and how to stay medico-legally sound while keeping patients happy and intervention lists thriving.

A few sharp takeaways you can expect:

• Cooled vs Pulsed vs Conventional RF - demystified. Know which to pick for which patient and why.

• Orthobiologics for tendon injuries - when PRP shines and when it’s a waste of good plasma.

• PRF in 2025 - is it the new frontier for joint preservation or just another lab invoice?

• OPD procedure safety - how much is too much? Where’s the line? And who’s allowed to cross it?

Join us because the future of MSK care isn’t surgical or conservative… It’s smart.
