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».
