Arno Macken

Arno Macken is a Researcher at Erasmus MC in the Department of Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. His work focuses on surgical techniques, implant design, and patient outcomes in arthroplasty procedures. Key areas include reverse shoulder arthroplasty, rotator cuff tears, and postoperative proprioception assessment.

Research interests encompass biomechanical evaluations of implants, surgical decision-making factors, and rehabilitation strategies. His recent studies analyze surgeon preferences in anatomical vs. reverse shoulder arthroplasty, muscle transfer algorithms for rotator cuff injuries, and comparative outcomes of open vs. arthroscopic procedures.

Publications emphasize clinical applications of innovative implant designs and functional recovery metrics. Collaborations with institutions like Erasmus MC and international surgeons drive his work in improving surgical techniques and patient-reported outcomes.
