Dr. Kevin Zuo completed medical school at the University of Alberta, residency in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery at the University of Toronto, and fellowship in Hand & Upper Extremity Surgery at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Centre, Harvard Medical School.
He is a graduate of the Surgeon-Scientist Training Program, obtaining a Master of Applied Science from the Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Toronto. His thesis investigated translational strategies of enhancing peripheral nerve regeneration and was completed under the supervision of neuroscientist Dr. Tessa Gordon and plastic surgeon Dr. Greg Borschel.
Dr. Zuo's clinical interests are in all aspects of hand, wrist, and peripheral nerve surgery, particularly reconstruction of fracture non-union or avascular necrosis with vascularized bone grafts and nerve transfers to improve upper extremity function. His clinical interest also encompasses reconstructive surgery for facial paralysis after Bell’s palsy or acoustic neuroma resection. His research interests include novel methods of musculoskeletal imaging, peripheral nerve regeneration, vascularized composite allotransplantation, and patient reported outcomes.
