View MoreDr. Margaret Fok reflects on her path as one of Hong Kong’s earliest female orthopaedic surgeons, emphasizing how early clinical experiences shaped her interest in upper extremity care and how supportive colleagues eased her entry into a male-dominated field. She discusses advancing diversity within major organizations, navigating entrenched structures while promoting broader representation and new voices. Her research on distal radius fractures highlights how patient expectations influence outcomes and how coordinated education and therapy can reshape recovery. Ultimately, she remains focused on improving care, motivating trainees, and sustaining purpose within the profession.
