Experts from NYU Langone Orthopedics join colleagues from around the world at the American Society for Surgery of the Hand (ASSH) 2026 Annual Meeting, sharing expertise and advancing the field through innovation, research, and education.

At NYU Langone, our Division of Hand Surgery brings together subspecialized expertise and a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach to care for patients across the full spectrum of hand and upper extremity conditions, from common disorders to the most complex injuries. This depth of expertise is driving advances in areas including amputation reconstruction, orthoplastic surgery, and brachial plexus injuries.

“Innovation is about more than just developing new surgical techniques,” says division chief Jacques H. Hacquebord, MD. “Achieving the best possible function and quality of life for our patients with the most complex problems requires integrated, interdisciplinary teams, which are the cornerstone of our innovative specialty clinics. Bringing all these elements together is what truly advances our field.”

Below are notable sessions featuring our faculty and trainees. For a full list of presentations, visit the ASSH conference website.
