HISTORY

 It was an era when there were no mobiles,computers and Internet,neither digital x,rays nor C arms. In 1980 there were only 6 Orthopaedic surgeons practising in Nashik. Out of those 6 young Orthopods 4-5 started meeting regularly to discuss and study orthopaedics. The meeting place used be someone's hospital and home as there were no auditoriums or seminar rooms, which can be used for the meetings.They decided to officially make it an academic society,now known as "NASHIK ORTHOPAEDIC SOCIETY ".Those stalwarts are Dr.Kakatkar Vijay,Dr.Nerlikar,Dr.Kanaujia Rakesh, Dr.Ganorkar Sanjay and Dr.Kelkar Bharat.
                                  
 These stalwarts made it academically strong association with gradual increase in the number of members. They called many great renowned surgeons from Mumbai and Pune to teach basics and recent advances in orthopaedics. Few of the faculties were Dr.Sancheti,  Dr.Bawadekar etc.
                                 
 Soon the society started to flair up with more penetration of Orthopods into the city.NOS has arranged many national and state level conferences so far like MOACON 1996,  PAEDIATRIC ORTHIOAEDIC CONFERENCE 2009, KNEE.ARTHROSCOPY CONFERENCE 2009,MOACON 2010,  ISSH 2010, MOARCON 2012 and many more after that.
                                   
 There efforts became fruitful with almost 150 members of nashik Orthopaedic society currently.The society has vast specialists rangingbfrom trauma surgeons,  Arthroplasty and Arthroscopy specialist,  spine surgeons and Hand and microvascular as well as plastic surgeons. The brorherlyhood of the members help them to grow personally,  academically,professionally financially and socially. 
 
The moto of the society is to "LEARN, TEACH, LIVE &GIVE - I.e. LEARNfrom seniors and friends,  TEACH the colleagues and juniors,  LIVE as family and GIVE the  maximum and the best to the society.
