The Christine M. Kleinert Institute (CMKI) is a nonprofit education and research organization funded by the Kleinert-Kutz Endowment for Education and Research in Hand and Microsurgery.

Key research continues in areas such as limb replantation, tissue transfer, nerve function, blood flow, and nerve compression.
Named in honor of Dr. Kleinert's mother, the Christine M. Kleinert Institute for Hand and Microsurgery grew out of the collaboration among the physicians of Kleinert Kutz Hand Care Center. It is known worldwide for research and education in upper extremity care and microsurgery.
