About

Dr. Ji-Won Kwon is a leading orthopedic spine surgeon whose research focuses on the diagnosis and management of degenerative spinal conditions, particularly lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). His most cited work, "Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: Current Concept of Management" (2025), has already garnered 8 citations, reflecting its timely impact on clinical practice. Dr. Kwon’s major contribution lies in clarifying the nuanced decision-making between non-operative and surgical treatments for LSS, emphasizing that while both approaches can achieve comparable long-term outcomes, surgical intervention—specifically decompression—offers superior symptom relief for patients with severe neurogenic claudication or radiculopathy. His research bridges the gap between evidence-based guidelines and real-world surgical practice, helping clinicians tailor treatment to individual patient needs. Beyond his work on LSS, Dr. Kwon has advanced understanding of spinal biomechanics and minimally invasive techniques, with his publications cited by peers in leading journals. His dedication to translating complex spinal pathology into actionable clinical insights makes him a respected voice in orthopedics, guiding both trainees and seasoned surgeons toward more effective, patient-centered care.
