Physically active young people are primarily those who suffer knee and hip joint injuries. These injuries are among the most frequent in our society, and often lead to significant lasting injury and increase the risk of developing osteoarthritis.
Martin Lind is an orthopaedic surgeon and conducts research in the field of sports traumatology, which primarily deals with the treatment of knee injuries in the form of damage to cruciate ligaments and other ligaments, meniscus and cartilage. His current projects include the development of new surgical techniques for the treatment of cruciate ligament injuries and treatment of loose kneecaps, as well as research into the treatment of cartilage damage with the help of stem cell transplantations.
Improved treatment methods for these particular sports injuries have great significance for the quality of life, work capacity and a continued healthy lifestyle for a large part of the population.
Martin Lind took up his new professorship on 1 September 2020.
