Orthopedic Surgery

Director ISHIGURO, Naoki (Professor)   5W · 8W

A wide range of advanced medical care not limited to surgical treatment

Our department treats diseases related to motor organs (i.e. bone, cartilage, ligament, muscle).

Medical Care System

Our department has seven surgical groups (rheumatism, hip joint, spine, tumor, children, knee and shoulder, and hand surgery), and each group actively provides a high level of specialized medical care.

Target Disease

We provide medical care to cover all fields of orthopedics including trauma surgery, joint surgery, spine surgery, hand surgery, locomotor tumor surgery, sports medicine, and rehabilitation medicine. In addition to surgical treatment, we also perform medical treatment and rehabilitation for a wide range of diseases.

Strong Fields

We perform treatment to achieve functional preservation of motor organs. We perform surgery including minimally invasive surgery in a way that original joint and neurologic functions are conserved as much as possible. We also actively perform medical treatment as well as surgery. In addition, we promote therapeutic modalities using the techniques in regenerative medicine.

Clinical Results

We perform an outstanding numbers of surgeries including 200 or more joint replacement surgeries a year, 120 or more spinal surgeries a year, arthroplastic surgeries, bone and soft tissue tumor surgeries, pediatric orthopedic surgeries, arthroscopic surgeries, and upper extremity function reconstructive surgeries.

Specialized Outpatient Clinic

Seven surgical groups (rheumatism, hip joint, spine, tumor, children, knee and shoulder, and hand) provide medical care in their specialized outpatient clinics.

Advanced Medicine and Research

For advanced medicine, we perform cell culture and transplantation therapies based on regenerative medicine technology and conduct various clinical trials. In addition, we have conducted numerous cooperative studies with other universities and companies.
