Rasmus Elsøe

Rasmus Elsøe is a Clinical Associate Professor at Aalborg University Hospital's Department of Clinical Medicine, affiliated with The Faculty of Medicine. His work focuses on orthopaedic trauma, fracture management, and patient outcome assessment. He has conducted extensive research on musculoskeletal disorders, including long-term effects of fractures and comorbidity impacts on clinical outcomes. His recent studies include randomized trials comparing surgical techniques for tibial fractures and validation of outcome scoring systems.

Research interests span epidemiological studies of musculoskeletal injuries, clinical measurement tools, and surgical outcome optimization. Key projects include the IMVEX trial evaluating intramedullary nailing versus external fixation, and register-based cohort studies analyzing fracture sequelae over decades.

Publications highlight methodological rigor in outcome score validation (e.g., KOOS adaptations) and inter-observer reliability in imaging analysis. His work bridges clinical practice and population-level epidemiology, addressing both surgical technique optimization and broader health system implications of musculoskeletal conditions.
