Olof Andreen MD, PhD

I am a Consultant Orthopaedic surgeon, working with Spinal surgery since 20 years.
I was graduated at University of Uppsala, Sweden in 1972 and gained my speciality as an Orthopaedic surgeon 1979 in University Hospital of Northern Sweden; went on to complete a PhD in medical sciences in 1983 with the Thesis, “Experimental fracture healing. I specialised in Spinal surgery and became the Head Physician of the Spinal Department in 1990. In 1996 I was recruited to the National University Hospital of Norway in Oslo. In 2002 I and my family moved to Malaga in Spain to set up a private Spine Clinic,though on Consultant basis I am still in clinical work in Sweden and Norway.

In my regular practice I have been responsible for scoliosis surgery, fracture treatment, spinal tumours and metastases as well as the development of microsurgical and minimal invasive spinal surgery. I have operated over 5000 spinal cases.

Annually I have seen and evaluated more than 1000 patients with spinal problems.
In my scientific work I have focused on multi disciplinary studies of spinal pain problems. I have been a member of a large Swedish multi center study of surgical treatment in chronic low back pain.

I am a member of the Swedish Medical Society, the Norwegian Medical Society and Colegio Oficial de Medicos Malaga, Spain.
