About
Brett D. Steineman is a biomechanical researcher specializing in foot and ankle mechanics, with a particular focus on total ankle arthroplasty (TAA), complex foot deformities, and cadaveric gait simulation. His work bridges computational modeling and experimental biomechanics to address clinically significant orthopedic challenges. Steineman's most influential contributions include a two-part biomechanical evaluation of total ankle arthroplasty, examining both joint loading during simulated walking and the influence of fixation design on bone-implant interaction, together accumulating over 45 citations. These studies established a more rigorous framework for understanding the demanding mechanical environment TAA implants must withstand. His cadaveric gait simulation research has further illuminated how procedures such as subtalar arthrodesis and hindfoot arthrodeses alter ankle kinematics, providing surgeons with critical mechanistic insight into complication risks. Steineman has also made notable contributions to understanding progressive collapsing foot deformity (PCFD), investigating its kinematic signatures during stance phase and evaluating surgical interventions including tendon transfers and lateral column lengthening. His work on medial meniscus posterior root tears demonstrates a broader interest in physiological joint mechanics across the lower extremity. With nearly 110 total citations across his published work, Steineman's research is shaping evidence-based approaches to reconstructive foot and ankle surgery.
