CHG Advances Thai Surgeons Through the 3rd K-wire Workshop: Simple, Effective, and with Fewer Complications

Chularat 3 International Hospital, part of the Chularat Hospital Group (CHG), recently organized “The 3rd Masterclass in K-wire Fixation in Hand Surgery,” a hands-on workshop aimed at transferring advanced K-wire fixation techniques in hand surgery to both Thai and international surgeons. The training was conducted using real surgical tools and operating room settings to ensure practical experience.

Dr. Jetsada Chokdamrongsuk, Chief Executive Officer of CHG, stated:

“Modern hospitals must be strong academic training grounds for physicians — not just places for treatment.”

The workshop featured critical updates on surgical techniques, including:

• Intramedullary Pin Fixation

• Locking/Blocking K-wire

• Subchondral Wiring

Dr. Wichit Siritattamrong, Head of the Hand Surgery Center, added:

“When used correctly, the K-wire technique makes surgery simpler, less painful, shortens recovery time, and reduces overall treatment costs.”

CHG also aims to position the Hand Surgery Center at Chularat 3 International Hospital as a regional training hub for specialized surgeons — elevating the standards of hand surgery in Thailand to the international level.
