    MESSAGE FROM THE ORGANIZING TEAM, POSICON 2026



    Dear Colleagues,

    We cordially invite you to the 32nd annual conference of the Paediatric Orthopaedic Society of India – POSICON 2026 at Chandigarh. The theme for 2026 is ‘Never too late in paediatric orthopaedics’. This theme will focus on an unfortunately commonly encountered scenario of delayed presentations of paediatric orthopaedic disorders in our daily practice. Lectures , panel discussions and debates will be centered around the management of late presenting cases and strategies to improve outcomes. This year’s conference will also bring back pre-conference hands-on workshops and will culminate with a post-conference workshop on arthrogryposis multiplex congenita.

    In addition to being an academic extravaganza, February is the best time to visit ‘The City Beautiful’ Chandigarh decked out completely in its spring glory. The event promises to be an exciting opportunity to rub shoulders, network and learn from the who’s who of paediatric orthopaedics. We look forward to hosting you at Chandigarh, from 26th February to 1st March, 2026.

    Best Regards,
    Organising Team,
    POSICON 2026
