About

Mohamed Hesmati is a leading researcher in orthopaedic biomechanics, with a primary focus on the thermal effects of bone drilling and the prevention of thermal necrosis—a critical issue in fracture repair and implant surgery. His work systematically investigates how friction between drill bits and bone generates heat, leading to bone cell death and subsequent implant failure. Hesmati’s landmark review, “An overview of thermal necrosis: present and future” (2019, 58 citations), synthesizes decades of research and outlines future strategies for minimizing thermal damage, making it an essential reference for surgeons and biomedical engineers. By bridging mechanical engineering and clinical orthopaedics, he has advanced understanding of drill bit design, cooling techniques, and surgical protocols that preserve bone viability. His contributions directly impact patient outcomes by reducing the risk of resorption around implants. Hesmati’s research is widely cited in studies on bone drilling optimization, and he is recognized for translating complex thermal dynamics into practical surgical guidelines. His work continues to shape the development of safer, more effective orthopaedic tools and procedures.
