ABOUT HAND AND ELBOW SURGERY

Our department aims to provide accessible, high-quality care for the entire spectrum of hand, wrist and elbow pathology. Our team is made up of 4 surgeons, spread over the two hospital sites of our institution and with a specific sub-specialty for this region of the body.

MANAGEMENT OF HAND INJURIES

A permanent on-call service is in place for the management and treatment of hand and shoulder trauma. Treatment begins in the Emergency Department. If urgent treatment is required, you may be transferred to one of our hospital sites (St-Elisabeth or St-Michel) for organisational reasons.
