Marcus F. Sciadini, MD, is a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon who specializes in orthopaedic traumatology and complex fracture care. He has extensive experience in revision surgery for fractures that have not healed (nonunions) and fractures that have healed incorrectly (malunions), pelvis and acetabulum surgery, treatment of complex articular and periarticular fractures, and posttraumatic reconstruction.

Dr. Sciadini earned his medical degree at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville, Tennessee. He then completed an internship in general surgery, a residency in orthopaedic surgery, and a research fellowship at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Dr. Sciadini continued his education with a fellowship at the world-renowned R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, Maryland. He is now Professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, Department of Orthopaedics and Chief of Orthopaedics at the University of Maryland Medical Center Midtown Campus Hospital.

Dr. Sciadini has developed several innovative techniques, including transfibular plating of distal tibial fractures and intraarticular osteotomy for medial tibial plateau fractures with lateral joint impaction. Daily, he is involved with the teaching of residents, trauma fellows, and medical students at the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center. 

His most recent research interests include development of a surgical simulator for orthopaedic trainees, comparison of types of orthopaedic drill bits, functional outcomes of elderly patients, prediction of tibial nonunions, survivorship after high-energy trauma, predictors of unplanned reoperation of pelvic ring injuries, risk factors for early reoperation of acetabular fractures, prediction of pelvic ring union without displacement.

Dr. Sciadini is the author of more than 50 peer-reviewed scientific articles and book chapters on complex fractures, lower-extremity injuries, and upper-extremity injuries. He has also presented his research at numerous local, national, and international conferences.

When not working, Dr. Sciadini enjoys time with his wife and two daughters and keeps active with CrossFit, mountain biking, and wakeboarding.
