Orthopaedic Surgery
Orthopaedic surgery addresses and attempts to correct problems that arise in the skeleton and its attachments, the ligaments and tendons. It may also include some problems of the nervous system in the spine. These problems can occur at birth, through injury, genetic backgrounds, or as the result of aging. In the university hospital, we have several out-patient clinics of specialty such as Spine, Hand, Tumor, Rheumatology, Pediatrics, Arthroplasty and Rehabilitation. For in-patient treatment, we perform surgery or further examinations. We have also four research groups that emphasize Spine, Tumor, Rheumatology and Hand. Our department has aims to treat difficult cases through high quality techniques to develop new treatments by advanced research, and to contribute to orthopaedic medical environment in our districts.
