Hand Fellowship
Fellowship director Roger Cornwall, MD, is nationally known for his expertise in treating conditions that affect the pediatric hand and upper extremities, including complex trauma and congenital deformities. He not only serves as director for the Hand Fellowship but also serves as co-director of the Hand and Upper Extremity Center, which he opened in 2009.
The clinical scope of the pediatric hand fellowship requires a solid base of hand surgery knowledge and skills. Among the critical components to successful pediatric hand surgery training is the juxtaposition of pediatric and adult hand surgery principles. Prior completion of an adult hand surgery fellowship will allow the fellow to appreciate those differences and the uniqueness of the pediatric population.
Fellows benefit from Cornwall’s areas of specialty interest, which include:
- Pediatric orthopaedic hand and upper extremity surgery
- Congenital hand and upper extremity abnormalities
- Complex pediatric elbow trauma and deformities
- Pediatric hand and wrist trauma
- Orthopaedic hand and upper extremity basic science research
