3 rd Knee & Hip Revision
Arthroplasty Conference (RAC) – 2026
Dear Esteemed Colleagues,
Greetings from New Delhi!!!
The burden of Revision Arthroplasty of the Hip and Knee in India is increasing exponentially, creating a pressing need for advanced training and focused academic discussions on the finer aspects of this complex revision surgery. Recognising this need, the Revision Arthroplasty Conference (RAC) was established as India’s first and only scientific meeting dedicated exclusively to Revision Arthroplasty of the Hip and Knee, spread over three days.
Over the years, RAC has evolved into a premier academic platform committed to advancing the science and practice of complex knee and hip revision arthroplasty through high-quality scientific discussions, “Live-in-Box” surgical demonstrations, expert deliberations, and interactive learning opportunities.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our delegates and faculty members for their enthusiastic participation and support in RAC 2024 and RAC 2025. Your contributions and engagement were instrumental in making both editions a tremendous success, with participation from over 850+ delegates each year from India and neighbouring countries, along with eminent national and international experts in arthroplasty.
The phenomenal success of RAC 2024 and RAC 2025 firmly established the conference as the most sought-after academic platform dedicated exclusively to Revision Arthroplasty of the Hip and Knee in India. The overwhelming response from delegates, faculty, and industry partners reflected the growing need for focused education and scientific exchange in the field of complex revision arthroplasty.
One of the most remarkable features of the previous editions was the extraordinary enthusiasm and commitment of the delegates. The scientific halls remained completely packed from 9:00 AM until 7:30 PM each day, with delegates actively participating in every scientific session, panel discussion, and case-based deliberation. Equally gratifying was the tremendous response to the hands-on workshops, all of which witnessed full attendance and overflowing participation, underscoring the immense interest in advanced learning and skill acquisition in Revision Arthroplasty.
The vibrant academic atmosphere, thought-provoking discussions, and unparalleled interaction with eminent national and international experts made RAC 2024 and RAC 2025 truly memorable events and set new benchmarks for specialty conferences in Revision Arthroplasty.
Building upon this extraordinary success, RAC 2026 promises to be even bigger and more impactful, with an enhanced scientific programme, distinguished faculty from across the globe, advanced “Live-in-Box” surgical demonstrations, focused workshops, and cutting-edge discussions on complex revision techniques and reconstruction strategies.
Building upon the overwhelming success of the previous editions, we are delighted to announce the 3rd Knee & Hip Revision Arthroplasty Conference (RAC) – 2026, scheduled to be held from 11th–13th December 2026 at Hotel The Ashok, New Delhi.

Conference Sponsors
RAC 2026 is a testament to it.
We avoid saying "sorry we are running late, discuss it over lunch and dinner time."
We know they are complex and require careful exposure.
We want to make you aware about the availability and utility of each Revision Component and implant from various companies.
We want you to get out of thought process of just somehow finishing revision : Think of longevity too.
We all want excellent function of revision arthroplasty also.
There can be unexpected turns during revisions.
“This year's RAC was excellent. The hall was full. The deliberations were outstanding, and I think the overall quality of the scientific program was very high. I think RAC has become an iconic course in India. No question about that. The interaction and the interest shown by the delegates were the differentiating features of this course. I believe this is the way forward, not only for scientific deliberations but for Orthopaedic science itself. I am confident that RAC is going to become an iconic course not only in India but across the region.“
Dr. Vijay Bose
Chennai
“Fantastic—that is the one single word if you want to sum it up. It is really good. In spite of all the airline challenges, the whole hall is full. We did not expect this kind of response, but that shows how much the program is attracting young surgeons. So, it is really good and fantastic. When compared to last year, I feel this year it is more refined because the faculty and delegates are here expecting something specific, and that is exactly what they are getting. It is an excellent program. I think this is going to be a big hit in the years to come.”
Dr. Rajkumar Natesan
Coimbatore
“Most of it is already sorted out. I like the format of discussions, and overall the conference has been very well organized. The academic structure encourages meaningful interaction and exchange of ideas, making it a valuable learning experience for both faculty and delegates. All in all, it is all sorted out.”
Dr. Rajesh N Maniar
Mumbai
This kind of meeting and this kind of a very well-planned program is extremely important. My observation is that it is overwhelming, especially for the young surgeons. You can see that there is hardly a time when the hall is empty; it has remained almost full throughout. That speaks volumes about the popularity and acceptance of the RAC. It is a very well- accepted program. I think this is a very honest effort, and this kind of medical education should continue.”
Dr. Rajeev Kr Sharma
Delhi
“This year has been excellent. I think the observations wise I would say that it is a very thoughtful scientific program, and I think there are enough video presentations and panel discussions and audience involvement as well.”
Dr. Mahesh Kulkarni
Pune
"This RAC was excellent and very well attended. Orerall, an outstanding scientific meeting and a wonderful learning experience." And thank you, Dr. Arora, once again for this superb meeting, outstanding. And we'll be looking forward for a greater meeting in 2026. Dr. Arora takes so much pain and effort for the faculty. Full marks to Dr.Arora, his team"
Dr. Anoop Jurani
Jaipur
“The program is very, very well organized and very well structured, we have a full hall, which is a testimony to the quality and calibre of this meeting. The answer is simple—it is a great meeting. Any meeting is only as good as the discussion, and the very nice thing about this conference is the high level of interaction between faculty and attendees. This meeting has been very robust. It is a very, very well-structured program. I must compliment Dr. Anil Arora for putting up this meeting. If we can understand why knees fail and how to address them and how to treat them, I think we have done a great service to the arthroplasty community. It's a very, very well-structured program. I wish Professor Anil Arora every success, and I hope this grows to be one of the major meetings for joint replacements in the years to come.”
Dr Ashok Rajgopal
Gurgaon
“The program is excellent. I am happy to say that this is probably the only conference focused entirely on Revision Hip and Knee Arthroplasty. In addition to delivering our lectures, we also imbibe knowledge from the experiences of other faculty members. Because Revision Arthroplasty is a thing is a condition where though literature is available it is a personal experience and especially in Indian setup where there is a constraint of money, constraint of implants, there how we are handling the cases that we are learning and we are also delivering and discussing amongst ourselves. The biggest observation what I see that people are glued to our seats from their morning till evening because they are imbibing the knowledge which is being delivered here. And a program is full of very crisp program and very tight program also even if you know yesterday the lunch break was avoided, but still during the lunch time the people are sitting without you know going for the lunch that is the beauty of this program.”
Dr. S S Mohanty
Mumbai
This is definitely a very useful program because not many conferences today are focused exclusively on Revision Arthroplasty, and I think the audience and delegates will be hugely benefited by this kind of event. I think it is a great initiative. There was ample time kept for every session, allowing everyone to express their views. Whether it was senior faculty, pioneers, eminent surgeons, or delegates, everyone was given an opportunity to participate. Even the most junior delegates were encouraged to interact with the faculty and ask both basic and complex questions without hesitation. I believe this has been the main success of the program.”
Dr. Narendra Vaidya
Pune
“Undoubtedly, RAC is one of the best Revision Arthroplasty courses in India. I am definitely enjoying being here, being a part of the course, teaching as well as learning. RAC is becoming more popular as the years go by, and there is tremendous interest and participation. I have thoroughly enjoyed the scientific deliberations and the quality of the lectures. Revision Arthroplasty is picking up in India, and courses like RAC are truly the need of the hour.”
Dr. Dhanasekara Raja
Coimbatore
“This RAC is fantastic, it is superlative. There is a lot of valuable input coming in from various experts in the field of revision surgery, and as the conference continues to evolve, it is becoming better and better. I am sure this program is going to reach even greater heights. Within two years, it has come a very long way. I am a big fan of this program and I mince no words when I say that.”
Dr. Vikash Kapoor
Mumbai
“I think the program is excellent as always. Practically everything has been covered during the course of this conference. This program has been progressing brilliantly over the last two years, and every year it is getting better and more streamlined. One thing that we find very heartening is that a conference of this size and academic stature is now being successfully conducted with our own outstanding national faculty. I am sure that RAC will continue to grow and achieve even greater success in the future.”
Dr Ronen Roy
Kolkata
“The program this year has been fantastic. It is an absolutely jam-packed program with excellent scientific content. The faculty can truly be described as a galaxy of senior Arthroplasty surgeons from India and other countries. For the delegates, especially young and budding Arthroplasty surgeons, this program has been fantastic. It is a highly active and well-structured program, running on a minute-to-minute schedule with absolutely no delays. The overall takeaway message for the delegates is very strong. Concepts are getting clarified, and that is extremely helpful for the next generation of Arthroplasty surgeons. Looking forward to seeing you all again next year.”
Dr. Neeraj Adkar
Pune
“I found this program extremely useful. The academic sessions were fantastic. It has been a very successful conference on a niche topic like revision surgery. I was delighted to see two-and-a-half days dedicated only to talking, discussing, and learning about revision arthroplasty. The level of discussion is extremely high, and the involvement of both faculty and delegates is very good.It has been fantastic. It is a great program. Keep it up. I would love to come for the third one and continue to learn from each other.”
Dr Ashit Shah
Mumbai
“This year's program, as usual, was very well organized and, with Professor Arora's inputs, witnessed a massive gathering, a large faculty presence, and highly interactive sessions. My observation was that the hall remained packed throughout the day, reflecting the enthusiasm and commitment of the audience attending the conference. The discussions at the end of every session demonstrated that delegates were fully engaged, eager to clear their doubts, and keen to understand the fundamental principles of Revision Arthroplasty. This is a very positive sign because the conference is growing by leaps and bounds every year. Good show and excellent outcome.”
Dr. Anil Oommen
Vellore
“I think the program has been quite wonderful so far. My sincere congratulations to Professor Arora and his team. It is very obvious that they have worked extremely hard to make this program a success. The academic content has been splendid. Such programs are very essential, especially to train young surgeons. Also, it has been a real learning experience for me and the other faculty, I'm quite sure. Because we have really, speaking, that we have the entire who's who of orthopedics from all over the country. It's a real achievement on the part of the organizing committee to get all these people together under one roof. It starts early in the morning at 9 o'clock. And at 7.30 in the evening, I find the hall was completely packed. And questions coming one after the other. So, in one word, I think, extraordinary, excellent.”
Dr. B D Chatterjee
Kolkatta
“It is excellent. I think it is better than last year because we have got a lot of video presentations. It is very good, excellent. The scientific content and the educational value of the sessions make this a highly rewarding learning experience.”
Dr. Anup Khare
Agra
“It's an incredible place and an amazing conference. Honestly, I wasn't expecting it to be as great as it has turned out to be. The attendance is fantastic. Delegates are very engaged. The faculty are extremely skilled. Very well-respected surgeons who are great speakers. Congratulations to the organizing committee. And of course, Thankyou to Professor Arora for putting this Inaugural Revision into a Hip and Knee meeting. This Conference is a sellout.”
Dr. Javad Parvizi
USA
"This conference was exceptional. Most people have sorted out their concepts regarding primary hip arthroplasty and primary knee arthroplasty. It is absolutely one of the best conferences I have ever attended. The scientific content was exceptional. I was quite pleasantly surprised to see the hall was full all the time. Nothing better than to learn from somebody's experience and do the same for your patients. It is a great idea to hold it every year.”
Dr. Vijay C Bose
Chennai
"This conference was first of its kind because of Dr. Arora to think of a revision conference on its own and to execute it so nicely was really commendable and this was a great meeting because the agenda was just revisions and we focused only on revisions. So, 9 out of 10 to Dr. Arora and his team for conceptualizing this meeting and executing it. Scientific content was very good.”
Dr. Anoop Jhurani
Jaipur
"This conference is one of the good conferences especially when you consider for the revision of hip and knee arthroplasty and it has been done for the first time, so I'm sure this will generate a lot of education a lot of understanding of revision surgeries of hip and knees amongst us and of course amongst the delegates. Such kind of conference should be done because you can't keep on talking the same thing again and again and they're not so much of advancement and revision, so maybe once in the year would be a nice idea to do such a kind of conference.”
Dr. Sanjeev Jain
Mumbai
"I would think that this is going to add tremendous value over the next one and a half days. I can see the way in which it is unfolding, that every delegate here is going to go away incredibly enriched in the areas of discussions that are going on. The scientific content has been of a very high quality. Dr Arora and his team have packed in so beautifully that every minute is being utilized for scientific discussions and knowledge dispersion. I would say that this type of conference should be made into an annual event so that it builds up into a proper learning of course as years go by. this conference should be held every year, so that people can build up on the knowledge that evolves and that has already been established.”
Dr. Bharat Mody
Vadodara
"This conference, to put it in one single word, it is fantastic. It's one of the very unique conference that we are concentrating here on revision part of it, both hip and knee. So that is the uniqueness of it, because we are not generalizing the everything under arthroplasty. So particularly on, exclusively on hip and knee revisions, this is the first of its kind in India. So I will say this conference as fantastic. I will say that more, little more time for discussion and questions from the delegates would be a better option, suggestion, that's all. I am looking forward to the next year meeting now itself. I really congratulate Professor Anil Arora and his team for the excellent meeting and the hospitality.”
Dr. Rajkumar Natesan
Coimbatore
"I think spectacular, that's the right word. First time of its kind. As I see out here in India, revision is going to multiply exponentially across the roof. it's very important when people have already dealt with primary cases and complex primaries, they have to dwell their knowledge to the next level and that is a Revision Portfolio. From where I see, I think it's very much apparent the way the hall is full and nobody has left even for a coffee or a tea break. They are glued to their seats. I would give 10 out of 10 for the scientific pull-up agenda made up.The way it is laid down right from the scientific agenda to the punctuality of the meeting to the content of the meeting and I think hospitality to it. So, you must make it a norm and way better than every time.”
Dr. Manuj Wadhwa
Chandigarh
"This is one of the conferences, one of the unique conferences which I am attending this year. I am a faculty but I am also working as a delegate because already a day has passed and I have learned so many small things which I will take back and follow in my patience. A brilliant content, variety and it gives you so much ideas about what problems we face in a revision scenario. I think the content is absolutely brilliantly put up and the speakers are marvelous. The amount of revision cases we are having in the setup now, everyone must be equipped to deal with Revision Knee & Hip scenario and that way, I think every year, there should be a conference of this type and this meeting is the key. I think this will start a cascade of newer meetings based on the same theme, I am pretty sure. India is a vast country and we have to cater to vast number of orthopedic surgeons.”
Dr. A S Prasad
Kanpur
The Education Chair of Indian Society of Hip & Knee Surgery (ISHKS). So, this is a first revision conference, we all know that the number of primary cases is increasing, so the revision cases are also going to increase and it's good to have a precise revision conference only. Scientific content is extremely good because it is covering all the parts of revision aspects of Hip and Knee, this is a great knowledge. I think the good part of this conference is there is a lot of time given to the discussion,so that's a good part the delegates can ask questions.
Dr. Dipak Dave
Ahmedabad
This conference, the Revision Arthroplasty Conference, the first of its kind in the country, organized by the dynamic Professor Anil Arora, is a wonderful meeting and it alludes and refers only specifically to the Revision Arthroplasty scenario both in the Hip and the Knee. I think this is a very very good initiative because in the emerging scenario of increasing Revision Arthroplasty especially with the number of primary Arthroplasty is growing, very relevant, actually very necessary conference in the current scenario. The scientific content was excellent as is evident from the halls that were full, the discussions that were very interactive, much more lively, entertaining and I think there was all round good scientific content because people are actually enthusiastic to learn more about this emerging scenario which is Revision Arthroplasty and which also pays attention to detail regarding the planning, regarding the preparation and the execution of a Revision Arthroplasty. In this current scenario where there is significant information pouring in everyday and especially with media and also with technology that is advancing everyday, I think this is a good meeting to have every year because all of us faculty and delegates alike can interact, can be faced with more emerging practical scenarios and also be armed with more technology and more practical solutions to our peculiar situations where we have peculiar cases and peculiar Revision scenarios.
Dr. Anil Oommen
Vellore
RAC is truly a landmark event in the field of Revision Arthroplasty. The conference has brought together an experienced faculty and an enthusiastic audience, creating an environment of rich academic exchange. The scientific program is meticulously curated, covering the entire spectrum of Complex Revision Scenarios in both hip and knee, with an emphasis on practical tips, planning, execution. I was particularly impressed by the interactive discussions, which reflected the keen interest and commitment of both faculty and delegates to advance knowledge in this challenging subspecialty. With the growing number of primary arthroplasty being performed across the country, meetings like RAC are not just relevant, but essential, to prepare us for the inevitable rise in revision cases. I commend the organizers for their vision, flawless execution, and the ability to make learning engaging and meaningful. I look forward to being part of many more editions of RAC in the future.
Dr. Rajeev Sharma
Delhi
The RAC conference on Revision Hip and Knee Surgeries is truly valuable, Especially for Young Surgeons. The scientific content has been excellentwith Highly Experienced Faculty. Such a conference should definitely be held every year.
Dr. Hemant Wakankar
Pune
The First Revision Arthroplasty Conference New Delhi was Excellent with Rich Scientific Content, case presentations, and engaging discussions. It's a valuable learning platform, and I strongly recommend holding it annually for greater growth and participation.
Dr. Dhanasekara Raja
Coimbatore
This Revision Arthroplasty Conference is Extremely Beneficial, especially for young surgeons, as understanding revision is vital after primary surgery. The scientific content was excellent and engaging throughout. Adding more surgical demonstrations would enhance learning. Such meetings should definitely be held every year for better training and knowledge sharing.
Dr. Anup Khare
Agra
This first Revision Hip and Knee Conference was timely and Extremely Beneficial, with excellent scientific content and vivid presentations covering all aspects of revision arthroplasty. Such meetings should be held annually to help young surgeons master revision procedures for better outcomes.
