Machine-translated · View original
A lab that evaluates the outcomes of hand treatment and develops new treatment materials.
AboutAbout the lab
Cutting-edge treatment and research and development specialized in the hand.
The Hand Surgery Group, one of the clinical teams of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, provides highly specialized, cutting-edge treatment focused on the hand and carries out research and development.
The group treats disorders of the upper-limb musculoskeletal system from the brachial plexus to the hand, as well as trauma, nerve palsy, circulatory disorders, and congenital anomalies, including those involving the foot.
In research, the group has set up a study group that includes not only hand surgeons but also occupational therapists and nurses, and is planning a variety of prospective studies.
In basic research, the group develops new treatment materials jointly with companies, going as far as filing patents and publishing papers.
