Daniel Y. Hong, MD, is an orthopaedic hand and upper extremity surgeon who provides comprehensive care for conditions affecting the hand, wrist and elbow. He treats a wide range of issues — from fractures and tendon injuries to arthritis, nerve compression, work and sports-related injuries — using both surgical and non-surgical approaches tailored to each patient’s needs.
Dr. Hong takes time to understand how pain, stiffness or loss of function impacts his patients’ daily lives and goals. He explains each diagnosis clearly, discusses treatment options in detail and works closely with patients to create individualized care plans that support recovery and long-term function.
He has advanced expertise in wrist and small-joint arthroscopy, peripheral nerve and tendon repair and complex elbow and hand reconstruction. Whether helping patients regain motion after an injury or relieving chronic pain caused by arthritis, Dr. Hong’s goal is to restore comfort, mobility and confidence — so his patients can get back to the activities that matter most to them.

UChicago Medicine is committed to fostering a corporate culture of ethical behavior and integrity in all matters related to compliance with the laws and regulations that govern the delivery of healthcare. This aspiration is central to supporting patient care, research, and teaching at UChicago Medicine.
Some of our physicians and health professionals collaborate with external pharmaceutical, medical device, or other medical related entities to develop new treatments and products to improve clinical outcomes for patients. In some instances, the physician has ownership interests in the external entity and/or is compensated for advising or speaking about the entity’s products or treatments. These payments may include compensation for consulting and speaking engagements, equity, and/or royalties for products invented by our physicians. To assure objectivity and integrity in patient care, UChicago Medicine requires all physicians and health professionals to report their relationships and financial interests with external entities on an annual basis. This information is used to review relationships and transactions that might give rise to potential financial conflicts of interest, and when considered to be significant a management plan to mitigate any biases is created.

All information is open to personal interpretation, if there are questions about the data, patients and their advocates should speak directly to their health care provider for a better understanding.
