Orthopaedics and Traumatology Research Group

The Orthopaedics and Traumatology Research Group focuses its research on the treatment of abnormalities and diseases of the support and locomotor apparatus. These abnormalities may be congenital, but may also arise later due to, for example, an accident, overload or wear. The research group focuses on fundamental, translational and clinical research.
