About

Mahsan Bakhtiarinejad is a biomedical engineer whose research focuses on developing robotic and image-guided systems for orthopedic interventions, particularly for treating osteoporotic hip fractures. Her major contributions lie in advancing femoroplasty—a minimally-invasive procedure that strengthens the femur by injecting bone cement to prevent fractures in elderly patients. In her most cited work, "Fiducial-Free 2D/3D Registration for Robot-Assisted Femoroplasty" (2020, 35 citations), she pioneered a registration pipeline that eliminates the need for external X-ray fiducials, streamlining navigation and reducing procedural complexity. Building on this, her 2023 paper "A Surgical Robotic System for Osteoporotic Hip Augmentation" (14 citations) presents a complete robotic system for osteoporotic hip augmentation, integrating computer-assisted planning to optimize cement injection patterns. This system was experimentally validated, demonstrating its potential to enhance surgical precision and patient outcomes. Bakhtiarinejad’s work bridges the gap between robotic technology and clinical orthopedics, offering practical solutions for age-related fragility fractures. Her innovations in fiducial-free registration and robotic execution represent significant steps toward safer, more accessible treatments for osteoporosis, a growing global health challenge.
