About
Paul Gerdhem is a leading orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on spinal deformity surgery, surgical navigation technologies, and outcomes in complex spine procedures. His major contributions lie in advancing the precision and safety of pedicle screw placement through innovative augmented reality (AR) navigation systems. In a pivotal 2020 study, Gerdhem demonstrated that AR-guided navigation significantly increased pedicle screw density compared to free-hand techniques in deformity surgery, offering surgeons a powerful tool to enhance implant accuracy and construct stability. This work, cited 36 times, underscores his role in translating cutting-edge technology into clinical practice. Beyond this, Gerdhem has published extensively on osteoporosis, fracture risk, and spinal biomechanics, with his research collectively amassing hundreds of citations. His impact is further reflected in his leadership within European spine societies and his commitment to evidence-based surgical innovation. For students and researchers, Gerdhem exemplifies how rigorous clinical investigation can directly improve patient outcomes in orthopedic surgery.
