Zachary Hadley

Zachary Hadley, MD, is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Loma Linda University's School of Medicine. He holds an MD from Loma Linda University (2006) and a BS from Pacific Union College (2002). His research focuses on spinal surgery biomechanics, particularly implant design and material strength analysis in orthopedic applications.

Education:

• MD, Loma Linda University, May 2006
• BS, Pacific Union College, March 2002

Research Interests: Dr. Hadley investigates biomechanical properties of spinal fusion implants, comparing fixed vs variable angle screw designs in anterior lumbar interbody fusion plates. His work bridges clinical orthopedic practice with engineering principles to improve surgical outcomes.

Publications: His 2013 study in Journal of Spine analyzed pullout strength differences in spinal fusion plate designs, contributing to evidence-based implant selection.
