——— About ASAMI India
India’s Premier Limb Reconstruction Association
We are a premier professional organisation dedicated to advancing the science and practice of limb reconstruction and deformity correction in India. The association serves as the national chapter of the global Ilizarov community, bringing together orthopaedic surgeons, researchers, and healthcare professionals committed to excellence in patient care and innovation.
Our aim is to provide a platform for Indian orthopaedic surgeons to learn the principles and latest advances in limb lengthening and deformity correction — connecting surgeons across 28 states through conferences, workshops, fellowship programmes, and ongoing educational initiatives.
The association draws its inspiration from the pioneering work of Gavriil Abramovich Ilizarov, whose principles of distraction osteogenesis revolutionised the management of complex orthopaedic conditions, including limb length discrepancies, deformities, non-unions, and bone loss.
“With a strong commitment to education, research, and clinical excellence, ASAMI India continues to play a pivotal role in enhancing standards of limb reconstruction surgery across the country. The organisation also actively encourages innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the dissemination of advanced techniques to improve patient outcomes.”
