Session Title: Phenotyping in Total Knee Replacement
In this session, we will present how phenotyping in Total Knee Replacement is a comprehensive solution that combines artificial intelligence, clinical data analytics, advanced surgical navigation, and patient-centric digital tools. Pheno4U enables truly personalized treatment, based on each patient's individual phenotypes, and transforms clinical processes from preoperative planning to postoperative recovery. Presentation of the underlying biomechanics concepts and how it can be practically implemented intraoperatively with the use of a navigation system will complete the session.

Henning Windhagen (born 4 March 1965 in Essen) is a German orthopaedic surgeon and trauma surgeon. Since 2006, he has been Director of the Orthopaedic Clinic at the Hanover Medical School (Medizinische Hochschule Hannover) in the Annastift, and in 2014 he served as President of both the German Society for Orthopaedics and Orthopaedic Surgery (DGOOC) and the German Society for Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery (DGOU).
Henning Windhagen studied human medicine from 1984 to 1991 at the Philipps University of Marburg and the University of Bern (Switzerland). In 1992, he earned his doctorate at the University of Marburg with a dissertation entitled:
“Biomechanical Investigations into Acromioclavicular Joint Stabilisation: PDS Fixation versus Wire Cerclage.”
He subsequently worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow in Orthopaedic Surgery and Biomechanical Sciences at Harvard Medical School in Boston, USA, and was a recipient of scholarships from the Else Kröner Fresenius Foundation and the B. Braun Foundation.
After serving as a resident physician in the Department of Trauma Surgery at Humboldt University Berlin and at the Virchow Hospital of the Charité, Windhagen became a board-certified orthopaedic specialist in 1996 and joined the Orthopaedic Clinic of Hanover Medical School (MHH) as a research associate. He completed his habilitation there in 2001.
In 2004, he received an additional teaching appointment in biomedical engineering at the University of Hanover. Since 2006, Windhagen has held a full professorship in orthopaedics at MHH and has served as Director of the Orthopaedic Clinic and the Laboratory for Biomechanics and Biomaterials.
In 2007, he became co-director of the CrossBIT Research Center (Center for Biomaterials, Implant Immunology, and Medical Technology), and in 2008 he took over leadership of OrthoGO (Institute for Orthopaedic Gait and Movement Analysis).
Since 2009, he has served as Medical Managing Director of the Orthopaedic Clinic of MHH at the Annastift. In addition, since 2012 he has been a member of the board of the Lower Saxony Center for Implant Research and Development (NIFE).
I am a Consultant Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgeon based at Nottingham University Hospitals Trust. My expertise covers knee and hip replacement surgery, including Computer Navigated surgery and Conformis custom knee replacement implants. I am also trained in knee and hip preservation surgery for younger patients with moderate arthritis, hip impingement or tendon related problems affecting the hip.
I have a specialist interest in non-arthritic hip pain, knee cartilage injury reconstruction, computer Navigated Knee Replacement surgery and computer guided rehabilitation following knee replacement surgery.
I hold regular clinics at Spire Nottingham Hospital and I am available to discuss your condition and direct investigations as required. I place great value in taking time to understand your symptoms and concerns and to explain treatment options with clarity and to your satisfaction.
I studied medicine at the University of Bristol. I undertook further training, specialising in Orthopaedic Surgery in Nottingham and New Zealand and subsequently took up a post as Consultant in 2008. I have an Orthopaedic ‘Trauma’ surgery practice at the Queens Medical Centre, dealing with injuries and emergencies and an ‘Elective’ knee and hip surgery practice based at the City Hospital Campus of Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH). As well as treating patients, I have held the positions of ‘Clinical Governance Lead’ with responsibility for quality assurance in Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery as well as the position of Deputy Director of Surgery with organisational and service development responsibilities. I currently chair the Trent regional network for the treatment of Metastatic Bone Disease (secondary cancer) and perform surgery for this condition.
I am on the Aesculap Academia panel of trainers for Computer Navigated knee replacement surgery and regularly teach at international training courses. I am also on the panel of surgeons developing the next generation of Computer Navigated knee replacement surgery techniques with the B Braun company, the originators of this technology. I am also on an international panel of surgeons studying and optimising the outcomes of knee replacement surgery (Pheno4U).
