Anders Stålman

Anders Stålman is an Adjunct Senior Lecturer and Docent at the Department of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, Karolinska Institutet. He leads the Sports Medicine research group at the Stockholm Sports Trauma Research Center (CIFU), focusing on knee joint injuries in sports, particularly anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. His work spans injury mechanisms, treatment optimization, rehabilitation strategies, and return-to-sport outcomes, with an emphasis on prevention through pattern analysis.

Research interests center on Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine, with a focus on Knee Surgery, ACL Reconstruction, Meniscal Repair, and Biomechanics. His studies investigate graft selection, surgical volume impacts, and long-term functional outcomes.

Recent articles (2024-2025) analyze ACL graft performance, meniscal repair failure rates, and knee laxity patterns, reflecting trends in Orthopaedics, Sports Medicine, and Clinical Research. Collaborative studies with colleagues across Sweden explore optimal rehabilitation and surgical decision-making.

Advising: Stålman supervises multiple PhD students in projects examining ACL reconstruction, graft effects, and return-to-sport protocols. Key advisees include Daniel Castellanos Dolk, Firathan Koca, and Katarina Lindgren.

Labs and teams include the Stockholm Sports Trauma Research Center (CIFU), collaborating with the Department of Molecular Medicine and Surgery and engaging orthopaedic surgeons, physiotherapists, and researchers.
