Keiji Fujio Hospital Director, Orthopedic, Osaka Global Orthopedic Hospital

After graduation from University in 1985, I learned much how to succeed replantation during my residency era at Kobe Municipal Central Hospital (June, 1985–May, 1990). Since then, I have devoted myself to hand and wrist surgery. I’ve further been refined my skills to perform minimally invasive surgery and developed procedures using arthroscopes and microscopes for nearly 4 decades through my working life. I have a basic philosophy of standing patient’s position, dealing with the aging deterioration and sport injuries, and think how the medical professionals can support their early return to society. It is my great honor to have opportunity to present my experiences for fabulous doctors and researchers around Asia.
