O.J.F. van Waes

O.J.F. van Waes is a researcher in the Department of Surgery at Erasmus MC, Faculty of Medicine. His work focuses on trauma surgery, orthopedic injuries, bleeding management, and innovative prosthetic solutions, with a strong emphasis on evidence-based medicine and patient-centered outcomes.

His research interests span hip fractures, femoral neck fractures, internal fixation, platelet biology, bleeding complications, osseointegrated prostheses, patient decision-making, and telemedicine in military settings. He employs methodologies such as systematic reviews, bibliometric analyses, and discrete choice experiments to advance clinical understanding and improve care.

The recent publications highlight a consistent focus on trauma epidemiology, transfusion outcomes, prosthetic rehabilitation, and digital health innovations. His work often involves large-scale data analysis and international collaboration, particularly in high-income country contexts and military medicine applications.

• Platelet and erythrocyte ratios in trauma mortality
• Global injury prevalence trends
• Osseointegration research development
• Patient preferences in bone-anchored prostheses
• Tele-neurosurgery in military environments

Dr. van Waes has supervised at least one doctoral thesis, indicating mentorship activity. He collaborates closely with senior surgeons and researchers at Erasmus MC, contributing to multidisciplinary projects in trauma and orthopedic surgery. While no specific grants are mentioned, his publication volume and collaborative network suggest active research funding support.

He is involved in advanced research teams focusing on trauma outcomes, prosthetic innovation, and digital surgical support systems, particularly in challenging environments such as military operations.
