About
Dr. Alexandra E. Thomson is a leading orthopedic spine surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing surgical precision and patient safety in complex spinal procedures. Her primary research areas include robotic-assisted spine surgery, sacropelvic fixation techniques, and the reduction of perioperative complications. Dr. Thomson’s most notable contribution is her landmark 2021 study on robotic-guided S2 alar-iliac (S2AI) screw placement, which demonstrated that this technology enables accurate screw insertion without the complications commonly associated with traditional methods. This work, cited 12 times, has provided crucial evidence for integrating robotic guidance into challenging pelvic fixation surgeries, directly improving outcomes for patients with spinal deformities and trauma. Beyond this, Dr. Thomson is recognized for her commitment to evidence-based surgical innovation, often bridging the gap between engineering and clinical practice. Her research continues to shape protocols for minimally invasive spine surgery, making her a respected voice in the field. For students and researchers, her work exemplifies how technology can transform surgical safety and efficacy.
