Welcome to MSHKS website. It is with great pleasure that I address you as the President 2023-2025. The Malaysian Society for Hip and Knee Surgeons plays a pivotal role in advancing the field of orthopaedic surgery, particularly in the specialised areas of hip and knee surgeries.
Our vision at MSHKS is threefold: education, networking, and advocacy. These pillars form the foundation upon which we strive to enhance the knowledge and skills of our members, foster meaningful connections within our community, and collectively advocate for the interests and advancements in hip and knee surgical practices across Malaysia.
Education lies at the core of our mission. Through continuous learning opportunities, including workshops, conferences, and research initiatives, we aim to ensure that our members are equipped with the latest advancements and best practices in hip and knee surgery. By nurturing a culture of lifelong learning, we empower our surgeons to deliver the highest standards of care to our patients.
Networking is equally essential as it facilitates collaboration and the exchange of ideas among peers. MSHKS provides a platform for hip and knee surgeons from diverse backgrounds to come together, share experiences, and forge partnerships that transcend institutions and geographical boundaries. These connections not only enrich our professional lives but also contribute to the advancement of hip and knee surgery in Malaysia.
Advocacy forms the third pillar of our vision. As a collective voice for hip and knee surgeons in our country, MSHKS is committed to advocating for policies and practices that promote excellence in patient care, uphold professional standards, and support the needs of our members. By engaging with stakeholders and policymakers, we seek to influence positive change and create a conducive environment for our specialty to thrive.
As we look ahead, I am confident that together, we can achieve great strides in advancing the field of hip and knee surgery in Malaysia. I encourage all members to actively participate in our initiatives, contribute their expertise, and engage in the vibrant community that MSHKS offers.
Welcome to the website for the Malaysian Society for Hip and Knee Surgeons. I am honoured to be the President from 2021-2023 and the organising chairman for its launch in 2019. The society is young, and its members are from the orthopaedic surgeon fraternity and have a special interest in hip and knee surgery. The society provides a platform for education, discussing cases of interest, and networking with regional hip and knee societies.
The launching ceremony of our society in 2019 was a memorable occasion with talks from renowned speakers in hip and knee reconstruction surgery. In addition, we had an in-depth discussion to brainstorm the society’s formation and direction with input from representatives from the American, Australian, Korean and Thai Hip and Knee Society. The ceremonial part of the launch was an elaborate occasion that was well attended. Thank you, members, for your attendance and for joining our society.
Due to the pandemic that followed, physical meetings were challenging to organise. Fortunately, we managed to have our inaugural meeting in December 2021 with some limitations. Following on from then, in 2022 we had two circle meetings and also a dinner meeting in remembrance of our patron, the late Dr. Lawrence Dorr, and talks on hip revision surgery. From May 4-6, 2023, we will hold our scientific meeting.
Our official website has been a long time coming. Have a good look around and read about our society.
