Benjamin Gundlach | Professional History
Dr. Benjamin Gundlach is a pediatric hand and upper extremity surgeon. Originally from the Midwest, Dr. Gundlach grew up in Wisconsin, where he attended both undergraduate and medical school. While in medical school he was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha honors society. Following Orthopedic Surgery residency at the University of Michigan, he spent three years in Philadelphia completing fellowships in hand, pediatric hand, and orthoplastic limb salvage and microsurgery prior to joining Boston Children's Hospital.
Dr. Gundlach hopes to build upon the storied history of pediatric upper extremity care at Boston Children's Hospital. He has a special interest in microvascular tissue transfer for limb salvage and reconstruction, including: functional muscle transfer, toe and toe-joint transfer, and vascularized bone transfer for conditions where bones have not healed (pseudoarthrosis or non-union), or have lost their blood supply (avascular necrosis).
