Becker’s Spine Review listed Duke Neurosurgery’s Kristen Jones, MD, FAANS, among their list of 20 neurosurgeons shaping the future of care through clinical innovation, research, and leadership.
“I’m incredibly honored to be included on this list especially alongside distinguished leaders who have been mentors to me throughout my career,” Jones said. “This recognition is really a reflection of the wonderful team around me, the people who have taught me, and the patients who have trusted me with caring for them.”
Jones’s research focuses on improving safety and reducing complications in complex spine surgery, particularly through advances in spinopelvic fixation.
“Neurosurgery is exciting because it requires meticulous precision plus constant innovation to improve safety and efficacy for our patients,” Jones said. “Continuing innovations like this to make surgery safer and with better outcomes for our patients is what drives everything we do at Duke Spine.”
