About
Jan Herregodts is a leading researcher in orthopaedic biomechanics and computer-assisted surgery, with a focus on improving outcomes in joint arthroplasty. Herregodts has made significant contributions to the precision of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) by investigating the accuracy of intraoperative bone registration and stereotactic boundary reconstruction, a critical step for reliable implant placement in image-based and robotic-assisted systems. In the realm of shoulder surgery, Herregodts has advanced the understanding of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) through robotic biomechanical evaluations of six different implant designs and a functional assessment of rotator cuff length changes post-surgery. This work directly addresses the common complication of external rotation weakness after rTSA, offering insights for implant optimization. While early in their career, with top-cited papers accumulating 2 and 1 citations respectively, Herregodts’ research is foundational, bridging surgical robotics and clinical biomechanics to enhance surgical accuracy and patient function. Their work is particularly notable for integrating robotic testing platforms to simulate physiological conditions, setting a benchmark for future implant design and surgical planning.
