About Apurva S. Shah, MD, MBA
Apurva Shah, MD, MBA, is a nationally recognized expert in pediatric hand and upper extremity surgery and has been named as a "Young Leader" by the American Society for Surgery of the Hand. He is an attending physician with CHOP’s Hand and Arm Disorders Program and Orthopedic Center and directs the Brachial Plexus Program. Dr. Shah is one of a small group of surgeons in the country who perform complex reconstructive surgery for infants and children with brachial plexus birth injuries, including nerve grafting, nerve transfers, shoulder tendon transfers and humeral osteotomy. He also takes care of patients with spinal cord injuries and acute flaccid myelitis, and has performed nerve transfers for these rare conditions.
Dr. Shah serves as the Co-President of the Pediatric Hand Study Group — the leading national organization dedicated to the treatment of pediatric hand and upper limb congenital anomalies (differences) and other upper limb disorders. Dr. Shah is passionate about caring for children with congenital hand and arm differences. Witnessing their resilience and growth reminds him each day to live with courage, compassion, and joy.
Although many congenital hand problems are rare, Dr. Shah has extensive experience treating a variety of conditions, including:
- Syndactyly (webbed or joined fingers)
- Polydactyly (extra fingers or extra thumb)
- Symbrachydactyly
- Cleft hand
- Hypoplastic thumb
- Radial longitudinal deficiency (club hand)
- Ulnar longitudinal deficiency (club hand)
- Macrodactyly (large fingers)
- Clinodactyly (bent or curved finger)
- Camptodactyly (flexed finger)
- Madelung deformity
- Amniotic band syndrome
- Pseudoarthrosis of the clavicle
- Congenital radial head dislocation
- Congenital radioulnar synostosis
- Arthrogryposis
Dr. Shah also specializes in the treatment of sports-related injuries of the hand, wrist, and elbow. His expertise includes gymnast wrist, triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) tears, osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the elbow, and ulnar collateral ligament injuries. Dr. Shah has helped numerous gymnasts, baseball players, and other athletes safely return to high school and collegiate competition. He is committed to working closely with patients and their families, as well as physical and occupational therapists, to create a comprehensive, supportive recovery plan that enables patients to heal, return to sport, and achieve their goals.
Dedication to research
Dr. Shah serves as the Director of Clinical Research in the Orthopedic Center. He is a member of several multicenter research networks including Plexus Nexus and the Congenital Upper Limb Differences (CoULD) Registry. He has received several grants for hand and upper extremity research including funding from the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America (POSNA) and the Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation (OREF). POSNA awarded Dr. Shah the Angela S.M. Kuo Award, which is given annually to an outstanding young investigator in pediatric orthopedics.
He has published more than 150 peer-reviewed scientific articles, reviews and textbook chapters. Over the last several years, Dr. Shah’s research has pioneered the use of text messaging to communicate with families after surgery in order to better understand post-operative pain and opioid use. This research has changed the way children recover from orthopedic surgery by decreasing pain while limiting opioid use. “Our team is focused on getting children back to their home, school, playground and sports field as quickly and safely as possible. Kids need nothing more than to be kids.” Dr. Shah's recent research has also changed the way that surgeons care for pediatric elbow fractures, trigger thumb and trigger finger, ganglion cysts, and numerous congenital anomalies.
Training and expertise
Dr. Shah earned his bachelor's degree in Economics at Yale University, his medical degree at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, and his MBA at Columbia Business School. He completed a residency in orthopedic surgery at the University of Michigan followed by the Harvard Hand and Upper Extremity Fellowship.
During fellowship, Dr. Shah developed a deep appreciation for the intricacy and complexity of the pediatric hand, which inspired his commitment to pediatric hand surgery. He went on to pursue advanced subspecialty training in pediatric hand and upper extremity surgery at Boston Children’s Hospital, where he gained extensive expertise in the treatment of brachial plexus birth injuries and the reconstruction of complex congenital hand differences.
Dr. Shah travels internationally to provide hand surgery and care to children in underserved areas. He has collaborated with the Touching Hands Project (THP) to develop a sustainable hand surgery program in Honduras. He has been happily married for over 20 years and has two energetic teenage children. Dr. Shah enjoys hiking, skiing, cycling, tennis, travel, and (win or lose) Philadelphia Eagles football.
Second opinion for complex cases
Children with hand and upper limb disorders travel from all over the country to obtain world-class care at CHOP. If your family has been told your child may need surgery, and you would like an expert opinion from Dr. Shah, the CHOP Orthopedic Nurse Navigator can coordinate travel arrangements and assist in streamlined access to the personalized care and excellence that CHOP and Dr. Shah have to offer.
