New clinical professor aims to improve diagnosis and treatment of hip disorders
Jeppe Lange is deputy head of department, consultant, and now also clinical Professor of orthopaedic surgery at the Department of Clinical Medicine. His research focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases in and around the hip joint, with particular emphasis on tendon injuries and infections in hip prostheses.
For two decades, Jeppe Lange has conducted research into infections in artificial hips, and in his new role as clinical professor, he will continue to develop his work on the diagnosis and treatment of hip pain.
In recent years, Jeppe Lange has especially focused on external hip pain caused by injuries to the gluteus medius and minimus tendons (the middle and smallest gluteal muscles). His goal is to strengthen the evidence base for better and more targeted treatment of patients with hip disorders.
“My clinical professorship gives me the opportunity to continue and expand the research I have conducted so far, while also ensuring that patients being examined and treated for pain in and around the hip joint receive the best possible care,” says Jeppe Lange.
The professor is involved in several research projects, including the development of AI-supported MRI-based decision-making tools, the effects of reconstructive surgery combined with physical training, and the prevention and treatment of prosthetic joint infections.
Jeppe Lange is a consultant at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Horsens Regional Hospital, and the clinical professorship has been established in collaboration between the hospital and Aarhus University.
