“#Surgeon known for first US hand transplant dies at 92<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n LOUISVILLE, Ky. \u2014 Joseph Kutz, a hand surgeon who helped perform the first hand transplant in the United States, has died. He was 92.<\/p>\n

Kutz died Saturday, according to a post on Facebook<\/a> by The Kleinert Kutz Hand Care Center, a medical facility Kutz co-founded more than 50 years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cLarger than life in height and personality, Dr. Kutz\u2019 workhorse ethic propelled this practice into world-renowned recognition in the pioneering treatment of flexor tendon injuries and microsurgical techniques,\u201d the center, which has locations in Kentucky and Indiana, wrote. \u201cHe was a father, friend, beloved teacher, and surgeon and avid horseman who never missed a Derby! He was a pillar of the Louisville community and will be greatly missed by all who admired and loved him.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Louisville surgeon performed the milestone transplant surgery in 1999, about 40 years after he first arrived at the center as a surgical resident, Courier Journal reported.<\/a><\/p>\n

He was awarded the President\u2019s Cabinet Award in 1979, and the Ephraim McDowell Physician of the Year Award 20 years later.<\/p>\n

Kutz, who graduated from the University of Michigan Medical School in 1958, had more than 80 publications. His work has also app<\/a>eared in several textbooks.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
