About the doctor

Hand, wrist and elbow: precision to the millimetre

The hand holds twenty-seven bones, some thirty muscles and a dense network of nerves within the area of a palm. Here, a single millimetre decides function. PD Dr. Boris J. Czermak has specialised in hand, wrist and elbow surgery for more than twenty-five years. His training spans Schulthess Klinik, University Hospital Zurich (USZ) and clinical research at the University of Michigan. He operates at his own practice, Chirurgie am Kreuzplatz, and at Privatklinik Bethanien.
