About
Nicholas J. Vaudreuil is a biomechanics researcher whose work bridges orthopaedic surgery and spinal deformity correction. His primary research areas include adult acquired flatfoot deformity, early-onset scoliosis (EOS), and upper cervical spine stability. Vaudreuil’s most cited study (16 citations) investigates flexor digitorum longus tendon transfer sites for posterior tibialis tendon dysfunction, providing critical cadaveric data that informs surgical treatment of flatfoot. In spinal biomechanics, he has made notable contributions to nonfusion techniques for EOS, including the development of a growing rod with sliding pedicle screw system (GRSPSS) and telescoping growth rods—both designed to reduce the need for repeated lengthening surgeries. His work on the alar ligaments and Type II odontoid fractures (5–6 citations each) has advanced understanding of upper cervical ligamentous contributions to stability. Vaudreuil’s research combines cadaveric models, porcine in vivo studies, and computational analysis, demonstrating translational impact. With over 40 total citations across his top papers, his findings directly influence surgical planning for flatfoot reconstruction and pediatric spinal deformity, making him a key figure in orthopaedic biomechanics.
