I was trained as an orthopedic surgeon at the Vall d’Hebron University Hospital in Barcelona and obtained a PhD “cum laude” in 1994. Since 1995 I am entirely dedicated to the surgical treatment of spinal disorders with special interest in scoliosis and other spinal deformities. I am the Chief of Spine Surgery at the Vall d’Hebron University Hospital, Head of the Spine Research Group at Vall Hebron Institut de Recerca (VHIR), Director of the Spine Service at Hospital Quirón Barcelona and Professor of Orthopedics with Tenure at the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona.

Curriculum

I have published over 180 peer-review papers, have an h-index of 39 and 6054 citations. My research work in spinal deformity has won (twice) the prestigious Hibbs award and the Whitecloud award from the Scoliosis Research Society, as well as the Best Paper Award from EuroSpine-The Spine Society of Europe, the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies, BASS-British Association of Spinal Surgeons and GEER-The Spanish Spine Society. I serve on the boards of several scholarly journals and have been Deputy-Editor of the European Spine Journal between 2005 and 2015. I have served on the boards of different medical associations including the Spanish Spine Society (President), the Spine Society of Europe (President) and the Scoliosis Research Society (Director at Large and Secretary).
In 2011, I founded the European Spine Study Group (ESSG) together with other well-known researchers in the field of adult spinal deformities. Nowadays the ESSG is the main platform for the analysis and evaluation of adult spinal deformities in Europe.
