Hand Surgery Biomechanical Lab
Research on anatomical variability and biomechanical relationships of the upper limb
Hand Surgey Biomechanical Lab is part of the Department of Anatomy and focuses on research into the anatomy, biomechanics, and functional relationships of the upper limb, particularly the hand, wrist, and elbow. The aim of the laboratory is to generate outputs that connect fundamental anatomical knowledge with the practical needs of clinical surgery.
Research focus
The laboratory focuses on three main areas that link anatomical knowledge with clinical practice.
Innovations
Research with an impact on diagnosis and surgical decision-making.
Current projects
Accessory bones of hand and wrist
Dynamic anatomy
Biomechanics of arthrodeses
Why is this research important?
- Safer surgery
- More precise preoperative planning
- Better understanding of anatomical variability
- Direct impact on clinical decision-making.
