BHUBANESWAR: OASCON 2026, a two-day Odisha Arthroscopy Society Conference, was organised here, bringing together leading orthopedic and arthroscopic surgeons from across the country to discuss the latest advancements in surgical technology and patient care.

Organised by the Odisha Arthroscopy Society (OAS), the conference primarily focused on advanced, high-end technologies in orthopedic and arthroscopic surgeries, particularly in the treatment of knee and joint-related conditions.
