IGOF - Masters Course on Trauma and Spine Surgery
In the year 1992, two AO stalwarts Prof. Siegfried Weller and Prof. Dr. P.V.A. Mohandas decided that their mutual respect, admiration and professional academic exchange should be formalised. They wanted it to benefit young orthopaedic surgeons the world over. Thus was born the Indo German Orthopaedic Foundation in 1992. IGOF has conducted over 100 symposia and offered fellowships to over 200 upcoming orthopaedic surgeons over the last 30 years. COVID -19 has seen the orthopaedic community renew protocols, techniques and procedures to promote safety as well as outcomes.
