Several multicenter clinical trials, as well as prospective and retrospective clinical studies, are underway within the division. Faculty are also deeply engaged in biomechanical, cadaveric, and basic science research. Current projects span a wide range of topics, including upper extremity fracture management, peripheral nerve repair, and vaso‑occlusive disease. Throughout the year, fellows have numerous opportunities to contribute to research projects, book chapters, and review articles, with involvement tailored to their individual interests.

Residents and fellows also have access to an extensive orthopaedic research laboratory, including a dedicated hand and microvascular surgery lab. A modern, fresh‑tissue cadaver laboratory—fully equipped with hand surgery instruments—supports the practice of upper extremity surgical techniques. These resources enable robust research opportunities and facilitate the development and refinement of advanced microsurgical skills.
