• Excellence in clinical services for musculoskeletal trauma and adult deformity correction
• Educate and Equip our medical students and Orthopaedic residents with up-to-date knowledge and training in Orthopaedic Trauma
• Establish an international presence in Orthopaedic Trauma research and exploration of emerging technologies

The Division of Orthopaedic Trauma was established within the department in 2003. The trauma service plays a key role in providing excellence in clinical service, continual education and frontier trauma research. We aim to provide an internationally recognized standard of care to our patients. Not only are we serving the general public of Hong Kong West Cluster; but we are also an established level 1 trauma centre, managing trauma diversions as well as the tertiary referrals for complicated trauma cases and adult deformity correction within Hong Kong. As such, the caseload and variation within our daily practice is immense and serves as an excellent learning opportunity for residents and oversea fellows. Quality assurance and improvement in the daily trauma services is a continual and ongoing process with weekly audits and grand rounds. Constant and regular assessment of patient clinical outcomes, clinical studies ensure future development and advancement.

• Geriatric Orthopaedic Trauma

Hong Kong is blessed with population longevity with the average lifespan being the longest in the world. With that, the geriatric population is immense. Yearly, our division handles around 400 hip fracture cases. The Division of Orthopaedic Trauma at Queen Mary Hospital introduced the Critical Clinical Pathway for Geriatric Hip fractures in 2007 with the collaboration of anaesthetics, internal medicine and allied health personnel. We aim to maintain international standards with operations within 48 hours done by dedicated trauma surgeons as well as bone health and future fracture prevention. This issue and mindset extends to all geriatric osteoporotic fractures including proximal humerus, distal radius, distal humerus, distal femur and peri-prosthetic/peri-implant fractures.

• Minimal Invasive Surgery

Minimally invasive surgery is now part of the standard management in our daily service whenever applicable. The preservation of soft tissue viability, careful handling of traumatized area and the utmost attention to the biology of bone healing have led us to achieve excellent results in fracture management reaching international standards. Our experience in minimally invasive surgery has been published in numerus international journals. The integration of modern technology and technological innovations remain one of our strongholds with the partnership with The University of Hong Kong. Computer navigation, patient specific instrumentation and robotic surgery is only few of the tools that are established. The use of augmented reality in surgery and 3D printing has become increasingly popular.

• Adult Deformity Correction

Our center is a tertiary referral hospital for complex trauma cases. Many of these challenging cases include post-traumatic infections and malunion and resulting adult deformities. With the adjunct of our 3D printing and modelling services, efficient and accurate workflow for corrective osteotomies with patient specific instrumentation with or without navigation surgery has become mainstay and effortless. The ever-growing caseload for complex deformity has developed our center as a recognized leader in this field.

• 3D Printing Services

The Tam Shiu Anatomical Modelling Laboratory was established in 2018, offering services across specialties and Hong Kong to utilize. We provide segmentation and modelling for complex pathoanatomical structural diseases. With three different polymer 3D printers, we can supply healthcare providers with various models for all purposes including surgical planning, teaching and innovation suited to their needs. We can also provide specialist consultation and surgical planning for Orthopaedic cases and for design of patient specific instrumentation and implants.
