ABSTRACT
Since emerging from the shadows of General Surgery, the specialty of Orthopaedic Surgery in Singapore has grown from strength to strength. The year 2002 commemorates 50 years of orthopaedic specialty practice in Singapore. It also celebrates the 34th birthday of the Singapore Orthopaedic Association and coincides with the 25th Annual Scientific Meeting. The Singapore Orthopaedic Association, from its humble beginnings, has grown into a credible organisation that aims to fulfill the academic aspirations of its members as well as serve as a bridge to other related organisations abroad. Apart from its academic activities, it also aims to broaden the bond of friendship with other orthopaedic organisations.
The University of Malaya in Singapore was established in 1949. With this, the King Edward VII College of Medicine became the Faculty of Medicine, University of Malaya.
