HOST INSTITUTION
About The University of Hong Kong / Queen Mary Hospital
HKU's Hand and Foot & Ankle Division at Queen Mary Hospital combines clinics, ward rounds, case conferences, supervised operations and clinical or basic-science research within a university department providing nine orthopaedic services, an Orthopaedic Research Centre and postgraduate education.
The cited evidence does not provide a programme-specific faculty roster that OrthoFellow can safely publish. Open the official source or submit an institutional correction; names and portraits are never inferred from department membership.
Names and fellowship roles come from the cited programme source. A green “individual profile verified” label means the position, qualifications and biography were also checked against an official personal or institutional profile. OrthoFellow displays a portrait only when it can be tied to an official profile or faculty source; otherwise the host institution brandmark is shown, with initials retained only when neither image is available. Faculty rosters may change.
