About
Lodewijk W. van Rhijn is a leading researcher in orthopedic surgery, with a specialized focus on digital planning and precision technologies for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). His major contribution lies in systematically evaluating and synthesizing the rapidly evolving landscape of computer-based pre- and intra-operative planning modalities. In his comprehensive 2024 review, van Rhijn provides a critical framework for physicians navigating the complex array of digital tools—from patient-specific instrumentation to robotic-assisted systems—helping to clarify which technologies offer tangible benefits for surgical outcomes. While his most-cited work is recent, its impact is already evident in its citation by surgeons and engineers seeking evidence-based guidance for adopting these innovations. Van Rhijn’s research addresses a pressing clinical challenge: the overwhelming abundance of planning options in TKA. By offering a structured analysis of their strengths and limitations, he empowers orthopedic teams to make informed decisions, ultimately advancing the precision and personalization of joint replacement surgery. His work marks him as a key voice in the digital transformation of orthopedics.
