About

Malcolm R. DeBaun is an emerging leader in orthopaedic trauma and spine surgery, with a focused expertise in robotic-assisted minimally invasive techniques for complex pelvic and sacral injuries. His major contributions center on advancing the safety and efficacy of spinopelvic fixation, particularly for traumatic sacral fractures, where he has demonstrated that robotic guidance can reduce surgical morbidity while improving implant accuracy. DeBaun’s work on awake robot-assisted sacroiliac joint fusion is especially notable; his case report on a ruptured superior gluteal artery pseudoaneurysm—a rare but serious complication—provides critical insights into vascular injury management and procedural safeguards. With over 10 citations for his 2023 case series on robotic spinopelvic fixation, his research is already shaping clinical protocols. DeBaun’s ability to identify and address complications, such as pseudoaneurysm formation, underscores his commitment to patient safety and surgical innovation. His publications serve as essential reading for orthopaedic surgeons and trainees seeking to understand the risks and rewards of robotic-assisted pelvic trauma care.
