Bert van Rietbergen is an Associate Professor at the Orthopaedic Biomechanics research group, with research focused on evaluating the structural mechanical properties of bone and studying bone diseases such as osteoporosis and implant failure. He has developed a new computational approach for mechanical analysis of bone structures using high-resolution images, and his work over the past decade has concentrated on clinical applications that improve the diagnosis of bone fracture risk. His research aims to predict fracture risk and develop results related to aging, pharmacological treatments, and orthopedic surgery. Van Rietbergen is focused on creating computational models based on mechanical and biological principles that are validated with data from clinical studies. Recent projects involve patient-specific prognosis for bone fracture risk and multiscale approaches for predicting bone remodeling and analyzing surgical procedures used for correcting and stabilizing skeletal deformities and fractures with the application of biomaterials.
