Dr. Thomas Brushart attended Harvard College and Medical school, then received his orthopaedic training in the Harvard Combined Orthopaedics Program. He completed a one year hand fellowship at the Raymond Curtis Hand Center, where he continued in practice for twelve years before joining the Johns Hopkins Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. He currently serves as Brushart Professor of Hand Surgery and Chief of the Orthopaedic Hand Surgery Service.
For thirty years Dr. Brushart has cared for patients with hand and peripheral nerve disorders while maintaining a research program in peripheral nerve regeneration. This synergy recently culminated in the writing of Nerve Repair, a translational work that integrates clinical and research findings to achieve new perspectives on nerve repair and regeneration.
Dr. Brushart cares for patients in the Johns Hopkins Outpatient Center (JHOC). He has particular expertise in the treatment of nerve compression syndromes such as the carpal tunnel syndrome and ulnar neuropathy, and in reconstruction of the upper extremity compromised by nerve injury or disease.
