Hand and Wrist Trauma & Fractures

A significant portion of Prof. Liu's practice involves the management of hand and wrist fractures. He is particularly expert in treating fractures that have failed to heal correctly (nonunion) or have healed in a poor position (malunion). His approach to carpal bone fractures, including scaphoid fractures, utilizes advanced fixation techniques to ensure optimal recovery of wrist mobility. His proficiency in carpal instability allows him to treat patients suffering from ligamentous injuries that lead to chronic wrist pain and weakness.

Wrist Arthroscopy & Minimally Invasive Surgery

As the Secretary General of the Wrist Joint Group of the Chinese Medical Association, Prof. Bo LIU is at the forefront of wrist arthroscopy. This minimally invasive technique allows for the diagnosis and treatment of internal joint issues through small incisions, leading to faster recovery times and less postoperative pain. He utilizes arthroscopy for TFCC (Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex) tears, ganglion cyst removal, and the assessment of unexplained wrist pain.

Peripheral Nerve Injury & Microsurgery

Prof. Liu is highly skilled in peripheral nerve repair and reconstruction. Injuries to the nerves of the hand and arm can lead to paralysis or loss of sensation. Using advanced microsurgical techniques, Prof. Liu performs nerve grafts and nerve transfers to restore function. Furthermore, his expertise extends to skin flap repair, using vascularized tissue transfers to cover complex wounds and defects of the hand and upper extremity resulting from trauma or tumor resection.
