About

Dr. Eline M. van Es is a leading orthopedic researcher whose work centers on the application of advanced three-dimensional technology to correct complex forearm deformities. Her major contribution lies in demonstrating how 3D imaging, planning, and patient-specific guides can dramatically improve outcomes in corrective osteotomy for forearm malunion—a condition that often impairs rotation, grip strength, and dexterity. In her landmark 2025 paper, which has already garnered 6 citations, she systematically shows that traditional two-dimensional approaches frequently fail to address the intricate rotational and angular deformities of the radius and ulna. By contrast, her 3D-guided technique enables precise, individualized correction, restoring both function and anatomy. This work has established a new standard in upper extremity surgery, bridging the gap between engineering and clinical practice. Dr. van Es’s research is not only technically rigorous but also immediately translatable, offering surgeons a reproducible method to tackle one of the most challenging problems in hand and wrist reconstruction. Her contributions are shaping the future of orthopedic precision medicine.
