As the top pediatric hospital in America, Boston Children’s strives to be a leader in clinical care. Their professionals constantly work toward new innovations and increasingly effective ways to help patients recover.

The hospital is currently making great strides in its hand transplant program. Hand transplants are complex, and the procedure is still relatively new. Physicians at Boston created the world’s first pediatric hand transplant program and an accompanying long-term study.

As this program continues, pediatric patients who receive hand transplants will participate in ongoing research and testing for at least 20 years. During that time, they will receive top-tier physical therapy to help them get the most from their new hand, and the data Boston Children’s researchers collect will help refine techniques and improve outcomes for years to come.
