I'm an orthopaedic knee surgeon. The majority of my orthopaedic practice consists of arthroplasty with an emphasize on revision surgery in the Maartenskliniek, which is the largest knee revision centre of The Netherlands. Furthermore I participate in research projects, supervise junior researchers/phD candidates and I've been faculty in several knee surgery courses.Clinical: - Knee arthroplasty - primary and revision surgery - Deformity correction around the knee- Cartilage replacement surgery (OATS, chondropick)- Patellofemoral realignement surgery- Knee arthroscopyChairwoman of the Knee Reconstruction Unit St MaartenskliniekFaculty Knee Revision Masterclass (yearly) since 2018Faculty S&N courses Bibliography: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/myncbi/1vwJVEyZm73/bibliography/public/Clinical Research Lead ---> Research theme leader: Prediction & Outcome on orthopedic treatment in SMK---> Development of stategy and vision on orthopedic research of SMK---> ICMS (International Consortium on Movement Science)---> World Centre of Personalized OrthopedicsRecent research projects:* Perioperative optimisation of outcome in total knee arthroplasty—> Definition of poor outcome in TKA and patient’s perception (M te Molder)—> Gait assesment after TKA with wearable sensors (R Boekestein)—> Psychological flexibility and TKA recovery* Frailty and efficacy of targeted prehabilitation in orthopaedic population* Efficacy of behavioural program for debilitation pain after TKA (E Hoevenaers)* 3D PSI planned osteotomy around the knee (PhD K Mills)Historical research projects:- PhD in hip resurfacing.
