Orthopedic Surgery
We, orthopaedic surgeons, treat patients who suffer diseases and injuries in the musculo-skeletal system. Most of the people experience knee, shoulder, or low back pain in a lifetime. Femoral or vertebral fracture is the second popular cause that leads the elderly people to become bedridden. We believe that overcoming functional disability of the musculo-skeletal system contributes not only to the happiness of an individual patient but also to the welfare of our whole society. We aim for all people moving their body without difficulties throughout their life.
Research and Education
Biomaterial group has developed many orthopaedic implants, especially bioactive ones, some of which have been applied clinically, and is vigorously developing bioactive and antibacterial metal implants. Biomechanics group is developing a new knee prosthesis using computer simulation technology and analyzing spine biomechanics. Tumor group is researching on molecular mechanisms of generation of bone and soft tissue tumor and its application to clinical cases. Regenerative therapy for damaged musculoskeletal tissue is being advanced by collaboration with Center for iPS Cell Research and Application, and the clinical trial of cartilage regenerative therapy with iPS cell technology for knee cartilage injuries is now under preparation. Cartilage metabolism/rheumatology group is experimentally investigating the mechanisms of joint destruction in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis and developing novel therapies by collaboration with other departments and institutes. Peripheral nerve group is working on the nerve regeneration, trying to apply the method for treating nerve degeneration and injury.
