Thomas Johan Kibsgård

Thomas Johan Kibsgård is an Associate Professor in the Department of Orthopaedics at the University of Oslo, affiliated with Rikshospitalet. His research focuses on sacroiliac joint mechanics, pelvic girdle pain, and pediatric orthopaedics. He has contributed extensively to understanding surgical outcomes for spinal and pelvic conditions through randomized controlled trials and biomechanical studies.

Research Interests:

• Biomechanics of the sacroiliac joint and pelvic girdle
• Minimally invasive surgical techniques for spinal and pelvic disorders
• Epidemiology and management of scoliosis in children with neuromuscular conditions
• Long-term outcomes of orthopaedic interventions

Key Contributions:

• Developed radiostereometric analysis methods for joint motion assessment
• Investigated sacroiliac joint fusion outcomes in chronic pain patients
• Published on scoliosis prevalence in adolescents with congenital anomalies
