Hung Leung - k im Senior Lecturer, Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology When Mr. Hung Leung- k im graduated from the medical school of the University of Hong Kong in 1979, one of his seniors suggested that he should seek placement in the Orthopaedics Unit B of Princess Margare t Hospital as his first intern job, because 'the unit has got a very progressive consultant who has a great aptitude for microsurgery and a heart for patients' . That was how 'LK' came to know 'PC' —Prof. P.C. Leung, who has since become a mentor and friend of Mr. Hung. Under the influence of Prof. Leung, Mr. Hung developed an interest in hand surgery and microsurgery, both of which have now become his specialities. Having qualified as FRCS in 1983, Mr. Hung joined the newly established Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology of CUHK as lecturer. And together with Mr. Jack C.Y. Cheng, he launched a replantation service at the Prince of Wales Hospital. Mr. Hung has had many opportunities of overseas practice. He underwent training in Wellesley Hospital and the Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto in 1984. In 1986 he obtained a special grant from the Commonwealth Fund for Technical Cooperation to visit Dr. B.B. Joshi in India. Three years later he obtained a Commonwealth Medical Fellowship to go to Oxford, where he worked under Prof. R.B. Duthie for a year. During the same period he wrote a thesis on a subject that Prof. K.M. Chan introduced him to many years ago: fracture of the patella, and the treatment by partial patellectomy, and was conferred the degree of M.Ch. (Orth.) by the University of Liverpool. In 1990, he worked as a consultant in hand surgery in Glasgow for several months, qualified as FRCS (Orth.) (Edin.), and was awarded the Sir Walter Mercer Medal. Mr . Hung met his wife-to-be, Christine Fung, during his second intern job in 1979. They got married two years later and are now parents of two boys. Mr. Hung is an alumnus of St. Paul's College, and a regular church goer. M r .
