CIRRO is a research group located in Oslo, Norway, and has since 2006 conducted research within the field of orthopedic implants of all kinds and treatment of musculoskeletal trauma and diseases. Initially, the focus was the hip joint but by now we have expanded to almost all joints in the human body – the knee, foot, shoulder, hand, pelvis and the spine. The research goals include selection of patients, improve surgical techniques, reduce complications, understand the native anatomy and find new treatment options with new technologies. We use conventional Radiostereometric Analysis, DEXA and PROMS but recently we are also expanding to other radiological modalities such as CT and CT-RSA. One of our ambitions is also to improve and take our research tools a step further.
Mostly we want to be an inclusive and stimulating environment for researchers of all ages helping to achieve their academic goals and excelling in their career. We have hosted national and international fellows and are currently supporting several PhD candidates. Our goal is to be in the forefront of musculoskeletal research and help any devoted researcher or clinician to climb a step higher on the academic ladder.
