Introduction
The Department of Hand Surgery was founded in 1968 as the Hand Surgery Clinic at Nagoya University’s Branch Hospital. It moved to Nagoya University Hospital in 1996 where, in 2001, it had the distinction of being established as the first independent Department of Hand Surgery in Japan.
Research Projects
