President, Malaysian Society for Hip and Knee Surgeons
Dear Colleagues, Friends, and Distinguished Guests,
On behalf of the Malaysian Society of Hip & Knee Surgeons (MSHKS), it is my great pleasure and honour to welcome you to the 26th Asia Pacific Arthroplasty Society Annual Scientific Meeting and the 5th MSHKS Annual Scientific Meeting, held in beautiful Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from 26 to 29 August 2026.
This joint meeting represents a unique opportunity for surgeons, clinicians, researchers, and allied healthcare professionals across the Asia-Pacific region to come together, exchange cutting-edge scientific knowledge, and strengthen professional collaborations. Working alongside our colleagues from the Asia Pacific Arthroplasty Society (APAS), we are committed to delivering a programme of the highest academic quality that reflects the rapidly evolving landscape of hip and knee arthroplasty.
Over four days, you will have the chance to engage with world-class faculty, participate in stimulating scientific sessions, contribute to discussions on advances in surgical techniques and patient care, and share your own research through podium and poster presentations. Beyond the formal programme, this meeting embraces the vibrant spirit of collegiality and professional friendship that defines our specialty.
Malaysia offers a rich cultural tapestry, warm hospitality, and a thriving cosmopolitan city in Kuala Lumpur — providing an inspiring backdrop for both professional and personal exploration. We hope you will take time to enjoy the many experiences our host city has to offer.
Thank you to our international and regional partners, sponsors, and industry supporters for making this meeting possible. Your contributions are integral to the success of this event.
It is with great anticipation that we welcome you all to APAS-MSHKS 2026. May this meeting be enriching, rewarding, and memorable for each of you.
