About
Endri Kastrati is a rising leader in orthopaedic biomechanics and additive manufacturing for patient-specific implants. His research focuses on the design, mechanical fixation, and robotic-assisted implantation of custom lattice-based orthopaedic devices, particularly for challenging bone tumour resections. Kastrati’s major contributions include pioneering the first *in vivo* evaluation of robot-assisted implantation of additively manufactured patient-specific implants in a large animal model, demonstrating the feasibility of precise, minimally invasive surgical workflows. His work on conformal Ti6Al4V implants has quantified bone-implant interface strength through destructive push-out testing, providing critical data on how lattice porosity and stiffness mimic native bone to encourage ingrowth. With his most-cited papers from 2023–2024 already accumulating citations, Kastrati’s impact is growing rapidly. Notably, his studies represent the first comprehensive integration of additive manufacturing, robotic surgery, and large-animal biomechanical validation—a trifecta that positions him at the forefront of translating personalized orthopaedic implants from bench to bedside. His research offers a compelling blueprint for the future of tumour reconstruction and joint-sparing surgery.
