Abstract
The Chicago School of Hand Surgery played a pivotal role in the genesis of the specialty of hand surgery in the United States and abroad. Drs. Alan Kanavel, Sumner Koch, Michael Mason, and Harvey Allen were among the first "modern" surgeons to carefully and systematically assess the care and treatment of hand injuries and hand pathology. This article highlights the lives and contributions of the founders of the Chicago School of Hand Surgery.
