Ολοκληρώθηκαν χθες στη Ρόδο οι εργασίες του 5ου Ευρωπαϊκού Συνεδρίου

Ορθοπαιδικής, στο οποίο πήραν μέρος Έλληνες και Ευρωπαίοι ορθοπαιδικοί. Κατά

τη διάρκεια του συνεδρίου έγιναν σημαντικές ανακοινώσεις για τον τομέα της

ορθοπαιδικής. Ωστόσο, ιδιαίτερη αίσθηση στους συνέδρους προκάλεσε η ομιλία του

καθηγητή Ορθοπαιδικής στο Πανεπιστήμιο των Ιωαννίνων κ. Παναγιώτη Σουκάκου, ο

οποίος απευθύνθηκε στο ακροατήριό του μιλώντας μεν αγγλικά, χρησιμοποιώντας

όμως λέξεις που προέρχονται από την ελληνική γλώσσα. Με αυτή την ομιλία ο κ.

Σουκάκος υποδέχθηκε τους συνέδρους και παράλληλα έδωσε το στίγμα του συνεδρίου

επισημαίνοντας τα επιμέρους θέματα που αναπτύχθηκαν κατά τις εργασίες.

Έτσι, ο κ. Σουκάκος είπε:

«The Hellenic orthopaedic physicians, have synchronized their dynamism and

energy with the European Organization of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, to

generate this symbiotic and not ephemeral synthesis of charismatic, academic

scholars, and are enthusiastic with the atmosphere of euphoria and analogous

ecstasy in Dodecanisa, Rodos.

Rodos is a graphic Hellenic metropolitan center in the Aegean archipelagos,

with myriads of archaeological and historical sites. Rodos is a geographical

paradise of cryptic and chimerical icons of idyllic charm, amalgamated with

Hellenic gastronomy of mousaka, souvlaki, ouzo emporia and euphoria of the

rhyme and rhythm of bouzouki, Byzantine and Spanoudakis music.

Α plethora of basic and didactic themes in the sphere of orthopaedics and

traumatology, such as trauma of the musculoskeletal system, arthroscopic and

arthroplasty surgery, paediatric orthopaedics, poly-trauma, podiatric surgery,

carpus and dactylic surgery with traumatic and genetic anomalies,

microsurgery, spondylopathies like scoliosis, kyphosis and spondylolithesis,

osteoporosis and pharmacologic and prophylactic therapeutic policies will be

emphasized.

Diagnostic methods and etiological therapy of traumatic, non-physiological and

pathological syndromes, therapeutic schemes and strategies, will be analyzed

and synthesized at this academic symposium on the basis of a democratic

climate and with the scope of a non-dogmatic and egocentric dialogue, which Ι

prophesize will be an historic phenomenon and paradigm of dynamic synergy and

harmony between polyethnic orthopaedic physicians of the European Epirus.

To paraphrase, with the phobia and dilemma of being tautological, let me

empasize that the logistics and machinations in this academic symposium, will

generate the scheme and type of our harmonic synergy and syndesmosis.

Pragmatically, it is my thesis and not hypothesis that the next phase and

programmed orthopaedic symposium in Helsinki which Ι eulogize will be as

dynamic and with colossal kyros, as in Rodos, Hellas.

Ι apologize for my eulogistic demagogy and if my etymological glossary is

based on philosophic or symbolic metaphors and lexical hyperbole, please

sympathize with me and Ι apologize for the idiosyncrasy of a zealous Hellenic,

practising orthopaedic physician who is also fanatically enthusiastic about

the giant anode of European propaedutics and academics in orthopaedics and traumatology».
