Throughout their career, Kärrholm has collaborated with several frequent co-authors, including:

  • Maziar Mohaddes
  • Ola Rolfson
  • Søren Overgaard
  • Alma B Pedersen
  • Antti Eskelinen

The primary disciplines in their research involve Surgery, with close intersections in Biomedical Engineering and Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. A smaller portion of their work also relates to Economics and Oncology.
