The Hospital is a level I trauma center with a university standard and affiliation with several universities and other academic institutions.
The Department of Hand, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery treats patients with a variety of conditions:
The department is a level I trauma unit in close cooperation with all relevant medical departments. It provides a 24-hour service covering all aspects of upper limb trauma.
For short-term residential visitors the department can offer clinical training in various aspects of osteosynthesis of the distal radius and hand, including joint replacements and corrective procedures for the skeleton of the upper limbs.
For candidates interested in a longer period of training, a previous qualification is needed. In this case, participation in one of the ongoing research projects running in close cooperation with various academic institutions is possible.
