Marcus Alexander Landgren

Marcus Alexander Landgren is a Clinical Associate Professor at the Department of Clinical Medicine within the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen. Based at Blegdamsvej 3 in Copenhagen, Denmark, he maintains dual roles in clinical practice (Orthopaedic Surgery) and academic research, with his professional email hosted through the Danish regional healthcare system (regionh.dk) and academic presence at the University of Copenhagen.

Dr. Landgren's research expertise spans several critical areas in orthopaedics:

• Hand and wrist surgery with specialization in distal radius fractures
• Volar locking plate fixation techniques and associated complications
• Long-term functional outcomes after fracture treatment
• Geriatric orthopaedics, particularly fracture management in elderly patients
• Biomechanics of bone fracture fixation
• Evidence synthesis through systematic reviews and scoping reviews

His publication record from 2017-2024 reveals a methodical research trajectory evolving from surgical technique evaluation to comprehensive outcomes analysis. Landgren has published extensively on volar locking plate fixation, with particular focus on complications, comparative effectiveness of different fixation methods, and factors influencing recovery. His research frequently utilizes large patient cohorts (up to 822 patients in his 2024 study) and registry data, demonstrating commitment to population-level evidence. Notably, he has contributed both primary clinical research and methodological work through scoping reviews that synthesize evidence from over 140 studies.

While specific awards aren't documented in the available materials, his work has garnered significant scholarly attention with individual publications receiving up to 37 citations in Scopus. His research demonstrates international collaboration, including publications in multiple languages and partnerships across Danish institutions.

Landgren's clinical-academic work has practical implications for optimizing treatment of one of the most common orthopaedic injuries. His recent focus on geriatric outcomes and patient-reported functioning reflects evolving priorities in orthopaedic care that extend beyond technical surgical success to encompass broader quality-of-life considerations.
