宮崎大学医学部付属病院整形外科

The medical treatment is divided into four groups, Leg, Spine, Sports, and Arm at our department. The specialist in instruction of each group acquires all the members orthopedics specialist, and there is most operation number of cases in the university hospital of Japan and can experience various diseases.
Because you can receive training from a specialist in clinical training instruction authorized by the country, you can participate in real clinical site including the operation.
In research field, we do researches on a wide variety of diseases, including osteoarthritis, trauma, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis and tumors, and our patients range from children to the elderly. We have been achieved successful results with collaboration among industry, academia and government, and received grants from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.
Why don’t you join our training program, acquire surgical skills and brush them up together? We wait in Miyazaki.

Professor and chairman, Naosuke Kamei, MD, PhD.

   •   Infectious : pyogenic spondylitis, spondylocace,
   •   Transformation : scoliosis, kyphosis
   •   Trauma : bone fracture, dislocation
   •   Other : false joint ( After compression fracture come from     osteoporosis, late paralytic), destructive-spondyloarthropathy  (dialysable-spondyloarthropathy), rheumatic spinal disease

 

Main Clinical Researches

We conduct researches focusing on the following themes for the purpose of development of new treatments for pathogenesis of each disease.

•  Image analysis & Biomechanics
  By using three-dimensional motion analysis system; force plate; finite element method; and universal testing machine, we perform analysis on sports diseases and orthopedic diseases, and apply them to prevention, diagnosis and therapy evaluation of each disease.
•  Development of new treatments and diagnostic method
  1.  We have developed and obtained a patent for artificial hip joint, spinal implants and new surgical therapy.
  2.  We generate a model animal of rheumatoid arthritis, analyze the effect of using different polymers to explore the potential as novel therapeutic agents.
  3.  We conduct researches of pathogenesis, new diagnostic method and treatment for cartilage injury and muscle damage.
•  Gene analysis: Pathogenesis of Locomotive syndrome
   We analyze gene function to produce abnormal bone cartilage model  mice as well as examine epidemiology and prophylaxis of locomotive  syndrome. We also analyze gene responsible for orthopedic diseases to  elucidate pathogenesis of various diseases, and apply them to the  prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
•  Bone and cartilage, muscle, tendons regeneration research
   We perform bone and cartilage regeneration research using ES cells, and  apply them to tissue regeneration medicine.
•  Construction of “Sports Medicalland Miyazaki”

 

Extramural Activities

We actively accept doctors and students from overseas. We are in cooperation with universities and research institutions in Switzerland and the United States. We have accepted doctors, graduate students, students from Brazil, China, the Philippines, and France. Also, I have been accepting students from partner universities every year.
