Yohan Robinson

Yohan Robinson (born March 20, 1977 in Osnabrück, Germany) is associate professor for orthopaedic surgery and spine surgeon at Uppsala University Hospital.
He graduated from Charité University Hospital Berlin in 2003. Under his studies he stayed with an ERASMUS scholarship one year at the Karolinska institute in Stockholm, Sweden.
For his internship he stayed at the Kantonsspital St. Gallen. For the orthopaedic and trauma surgery residency he was at the Charité University Hospital in Berlin. Very early his interest was in spinal surgery and got involved in the treatment of rare cervical pathologies. In 2008 Yohan Robinson moved to Uppsala University Hospital, Sweden to focus on spinal surgery alone. Since then he is a dedicated spinal surgeon treating most pathologies between cranium and pelvis.
Yohan Robinson defended his thesis at the Humboldt University of Berlin on blood doping in athletes in 2005. His post-doctoral research on erythropoiesis after haemorrhagic shock followed directly. Parallelly clinical studies on complications of kyphoplasty and results after anterior titanium cage implantation in the infectious spine led to further publications. In Uppsala he used the multiple registries in Sweden and focused on epidemiological research. Currently results of surgery in ankylosing spondylitis and results of spinal fusion for degenerative disc disease are interests of research. Since 2013 he is associate professor at Uppsala University.
Already early in his career Yohan Robinson was involved in teaching and course organisation. At the Charité Hospital and later at the Uppsala University he was responsible for teaching medical students in orthopaedic surgery. In 2007 he organised the ”First International Congress of Innovations in Musculosceletal Surgery” on motion preservation in spinal surgery. He was taking part in the organisation of Cervical Spine Research Society - European Section (CSRS-ES) annual meeting in Uppsala 2009. Furthermore he is an active board and faculty member in the AOSpine and is involved in courses throughout Europe. In 2012 he started ”Uppsala ryggdagar” (Uppsala spine days) and 2013 aimed at advanced spine surgeons. Since 2013 he joins the CSRS-ES board for cadaver courses and instructional courses.
