Biophysical Osteoblast Stimulation for Bone Grafting and Regeneration

Rosenberg Nahum MD, PhD, MOrthop (Hons.), MBA , FRCS (England), is a Consultant Orthopedic surgeon with more than 30 years of professional experience. Dr. Rosenberg earned the MD degree from the Faculty of Medicine in Technion – IIT in 1990. The final thesis was written on the outcome of spinal fractures and was awarded with high distinction. He accomplished his clinical residency in Orthopedic Surgery in Rambam Medical Center, Haifa in 1997. He was extensively involved in basic research, which led to the MOrthop (Distinct) degree From Tel Aviv University in 1996. In 1998-9 he was appointed as a Nuffield fellow in Orthopedic Surgery in Oxford University UK and 1999 as a clinical fellow in orthopedics in Mercy Private Hospital, Melbourne, Australia. Then in 2002, he was appointed as a Clinical Fellow in Orthopedic Surgery (Upper limb surgery) at the University of Nottingham UK. In 2018 he accomplished the MBA degree with a specialization in Biomedicine at the College of Management Academic Studies, Israel.Since 2003 he served as a Senior orthopedic surgeon in Rambam Health Care Campus, Haifa.  Appointed as Assistant Clinical Professor in the Faculty of Medicine, Technion -IIT in 2007, and in 2018, as a Professor in the Department of Traumatology, Orthopedic Surgery, and Disaster Medicine in IM Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University. His scientific activity concentrated on bone tissue regeneration's basic and clinical research that led to the Ph.D. degree at the University of Portsmouth, UK.Dr. Rosenberg is an active Member of Editorial boards in 8 scientific journals. Member of Shoulder Committee of ISAKOS (International Society of Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery and Orthopedic Sports Medicine), author of 80 peer-reviewed scientific publications, editor of 4 books, and  150 presentations at international scientific meetings. His main research interests are osteoblast physiology, bone biology, bone regeneration, shoulder surgery, orthopedic procedures, and human biomechanics. The primary clinical expertise is in shoulder surgery.
