The first and oldest 1 year fellowship dedicated to hand surgery in the US started by Dr. Robert Carroll in 1958. Our graduates are practicing across the US and many have assumed leadership positions in the hand society, their hospitals and communities. The fellow assists 5 busy full time hand surgeons in a broad spectrum of hand, elbow, and upper extremity surgery including trauma, tumor, rheumatoid, dupuytrens, congenital differences, peripheral nerve, nerve, tendon and vascular repair.
