The MacHANd Group's common interest in hand and upper limb related injuries, diseases, disorders, and conditions brings together a multi-disciplinary team of clinicians and researchers with expertise in hand and upper limb research and clinical service. The MacHANd Group holds research retreats and Grand Rounds three times a year, as well as an annual educational symposium.
