UPPER EXTREMITY DIVISON HEAD
Patrick Chin
The Division of Upper Extremity is committed to a vision of excellence in upper extremity orthopaedics, including shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand. Its mission is to enhance expertise as both a local and global resource for addressing complex upper extremity conditions through teaching, research, and innovation.
The Division continuously strives to improve patient outcomes by employing an interdisciplinary approach to care. Collaborations with Biomechanical Engineering have enabled the integration of advanced biomechanical knowledge and modelling techniques with emerging technologies. Additionally, arthroplastic partnerships combine the strengths of orthopaedic and plastic surgery to address clinical challenges for the benefit of patients. Decision-making within the division is guided by data-driven insights derived from a department registry, offering comprehensive information for monitoring patient outcomes and developing orthopaedic strategies.
Division members are active across British Columbia, contributing to teaching hospitals and clinics. Members also regularly advance their expertise through ongoing professional development and academic pursuits.
