Professor Ole Rahbek, MD, PhD is a Chief Consultant in Orthopaedic Surgery with a special focus on pediatric orthopaedics and limb deformity correction at Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark. His research centers on improving surgical care for children with disabilities, emphasizing prevention of surgery where possible and, when necessary, minimizing hospital stay and accelerating rehabilitation through optimized pain management and digital health solutions.

A key focus of his work is guided growth as a principle of optimal surgical care. This minimally invasive approach enables correction of bony deformities in outpatient settings, reducing the need for more extensive procedures such as osteotomies and internal fixation. His research spans from experimental in vivo models and advanced studies of growth plate morphology to clinical translation through randomized controlled trials.
