About

Gregory M. Malham is a spine surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of surgical innovation, imaging technology, and the practical implementation of assistive technologies in spinal surgery. He has emerged as a leading voice on the adoption and evaluation of navigation, robotics, and imaging systems within modern spine surgery, with his landmark 2019 paper — "What should my hospital buy next?" — accumulating 133 citations and becoming an essential resource for surgeons and hospital administrators navigating complex purchasing decisions. This work, complemented by his 2022 narrative review on procurement strategies (18 citations), establishes Malham as a practical thought leader bridging clinical expertise and institutional decision-making. His 2018 study on image-guided minimally invasive pedicle screw placement without K-wires or bone-anchored trackers (34 citations) demonstrated meaningful technical innovation, advancing safer and more efficient surgical techniques. More recently, his 2024 critical appraisal of spinal robotics challenges the field to think beyond incremental improvements in screw placement and consider broader transformative applications. Across his body of work, Malham consistently advocates for evidence-based adoption of technology, making his research invaluable to surgeons, trainees, and healthcare administrators shaping the future of spine surgery.
