Lente Dankelman

Lente Dankelman serves as a Researcher in the Department of Surgery at Erasmus University Rotterdam, specializing in orthopedic trauma with emphasis on distal radius fractures and fracture complications.

Her core research interests include:

• Orthopedic Surgery and Trauma Surgery
• Distal Radius Fractures and Nonunion
• Computer-Assisted Tomography applications
• Artificial Intelligence for fracture detection/classification
• Systematic reviews of clinical outcomes

Recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate a clear trajectory toward integrating AI with orthopedic imaging, particularly for distal radius fracture assessment. Key themes include comparative analysis of radiography versus CT, AI-driven prediction of alignment loss, and factors influencing reoperation rates. This work frequently involves collaboration with the Machine Learning Consortium to develop clinically applicable tools.

Dr. Dankelman actively contributes to the Machine Learning Consortium, focusing on translating AI research into practical solutions for fracture diagnosis and management in emergency trauma settings.
