Orthopedics Research
Dr. Md. Ariful Haque’s core research is dedicated to advancing the science and practice of c surgery. His contributions integrate surgical expertise with cutting-edge technology and biomedical engineering to improve patient outcomes.
Key Research Areas

3D Printing in Orthopedics
- Development of patient-specific surgical implants and prostheses using advanced additive manufacturing techniques.
- Creation of customized bone scaffolds to match complex anatomical structures for trauma and deformity correction.
- Evaluation of mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and long-term stability of 3D-printed orthopedic devices.

3D Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
- Application of computational modeling to simulate bone–implant interactions under physiological loading.
- Analysis of stress distribution, fatigue behavior, and potential failure points in orthopedic implants.
- Use of FEA data to optimize implant geometry, material selection, and fixation techniques before clinical application.

Bone Regeneration
- Investigation of biomaterials such as biodegradable polymers, calcium phosphate ceramics, and composite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering.
- Preclinical studies on osteoinductive growth factors and stem-cell-based therapies.
- Development of bioactive coatings to enhance osseointegration and accelerate fracture healing.

Ortho Bridge System (OBS)
- Research into the biomechanical performance and clinical outcomes of OBS devices in fracture fixation.
- Comparative studies between OBS and conventional internal fixation systems in long-bone fractures.
- Integration of OBS with minimally invasive surgical techniques to reduce recovery times and surgical complications.

Spinal Cord Injury
- Clinical and laboratory studies on spinal stabilization methods post-trauma.
- Investigations into neuroprotective agents and rehabilitation protocols to improve functional recovery.
- Collaborative research on biomaterial-based nerve scaffolds to facilitate neural regeneration.
