He also gained a Master's degree in Surgery in 1981 from the University o f Hong Kong. Professor Leung's interest in Orthopaedic- Traumatic Surgery started in 1971 when he was working for a year in the Orthopaedic Surgery Unit at Queen Elizabeth Hospital. He spent two and a half years in the United Kingdom for further training in Surgery on a Commonwealth Scholarship. The emphasis o f his work was laid on the areas where expertise was needed in Hang Kong, such as plastic- reconstructive surgery, hand surgery and traumatic surgery. He worked on hand surgery, orthopaedic surgery and plastic-reconstructive surgery at the Royal Infirmary o f Edinburgh; plastic-reconstructive surgery at Canniesburn Hospital, Glasgow; children orthopaedic and reconstructive surgery at the Children Hospital, Great Ormand Street, London; and traumatic and reconstructive surgery at the Royal Infirmary Hospital, Belfast. For two years after his return to Hong Kong he did general surgery, orthopaedic surgery and plastic surgery at Queen Mary Hospital and Kwong Wah Hospital. His emphasis shifted more and more to orthopaedic-traumatic surgery and its related recon- stmctive measures as he became head o f the newly established Combined Orthopaedic-Plastic and Recon structive Surgery Unit at the new Princess Margaret Hospital in 1976 ， where he was Consultant Ortho paedic Surgeon and Plastic Surgeon-in-charge until November 1982. He wasVisiting Orthopaedic Surgeon to the Kwong Wah Hospital from 1974 to 1980 ， and had been Visiting Orthopaedic Surgeon to the Caritas Medical Centre since 1977. In these appointments, he pioneered the hand surgery service, and the research and clinical application o f microsurgical techniques in Hong Kong. Apart from frontier techniques like micro surgery, Professor Leung is also interested in commonly occurring clinical conditions such as common fractures and injuries, and the medico-social implications o f accidents and injuries. His publications include over sixty original contributions in the various fields o f orthopaedic and traumatic surgery and he is one o f the leading figures in toe-transplantations and microvascular bone grafting techniques.
