When Dr. Babajide Ogunseinde developed a new surgical trajectory for sacroiliac joint fusion, he wasn’t just solving a technical problem in the operating room; he was quietly laying the groundwork for a different kind of medical education, one built for a world where geography and supply chains no longer determine who gets to learn.
A Technique Born From The Operating Room
Dr. Ogunseinde invented the Posterior Medial-to-Lateral (PML) technique, a surgical approach to sacroiliac joint fusion that offers a reproducible trajectory for improved anatomical alignment, procedural efficiency, and implant positioning. The technique has been published in peer-reviewed medical literature and addresses sacroiliac joint dysfunction, a recognized contributor to chronic lower back pain that affects patients worldwide. With more than 15 years of experience in orthopedic spine surgery, Dr. Ogunseinde has performed thousands of complex spine procedures, building a clinical foundation that informs both the technique and the platform he has since created around it.
His academic background reflects a sustained commitment to the field. Dr. Ogunseinde graduated as valedictorian from Howard University College of Medicine and completed his orthopedic surgery residency at Harvard Medical School, followed by advanced fellowship training in orthopedic spine surgery at Harvard. He is currently pursuing a Master of Business Administration with a focus on integrating processes, products, and technological innovation to develop his digital education platform further.
Throughout his career, Dr. Ogunseinde has remained involved in advancing both clinical practice and physician education, contributing to improvements in multidisciplinary spine care and the expansion of specialized spine services. The PML technique represents the most visible product of that work: a surgical method designed not only for clinical effectiveness but also for teachability and wider adoption.
Rethinking How Surgeons Learn
The global launch of the PML Mastery App marks a deliberate shift away from traditional surgical training models, which typically require travel, physical infrastructure, and access to industry-sponsored resources. The app delivers structured, on-demand training modules, surgical demonstrations, and procedural guidance to orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, interventional pain physicians, and interventional radiologists worldwide at no cost.
“This platform represents a shift in how surgical education is delivered globally,” Dr. Ogunseinde said. “By removing reliance on traditional supply chains and in-person limitations, we are creating a scalable model that empowers physicians everywhere to learn advanced techniques efficiently and safely.” The app is available as a free download on both Apple and Android platforms. It is designed to support surgeons at varying levels of experience, from those expanding their procedural capabilities to those refining existing skills.
The PML Mastery App sits within a broader framework Dr. Ogunseinde calls the PML Global Initiative, an integrated platform that combines surgical technique, digital education, and scalable delivery. The initiative also incorporates optional hands-on training programs, offering a pathway for physicians who want to complement digital learning with direct procedural practice. The model is built around what Dr. Ogunseinde describes as supply chain–independent instruction training that does not require a commercial sponsor, a specific implant system, or proximity to a major academic medical center.
Addressing Gaps in Global Surgical Access
The timing of the platform’s launch reflects a broader conversation happening in medicine about how surgical knowledge moves across borders. As minimally invasive spine procedures become more common, demand for training has grown faster than traditional education infrastructure can accommodate. Digital platforms are increasingly filling that gap, and the PML Mastery App enters that space with a specific focus: one technique, taught well, made available to any physician with a smartphone.
Dr. Ogunseinde’s work has earned recognition within the medical and professional communities. He received a 2026 Global Recognition Award, an acknowledgment of the contribution the PML Global Initiative represents not only as a clinical advancement but also as a practical response to the disparities that shape who benefits from surgical innovation and who is left waiting.
What distinguishes the PML Mastery platform is less its technology than its underlying logic: that a well-designed surgical technique, paired with accessible instruction, can travel farther and faster than any industry training program. For the physicians who download the app in a clinic far from a major hospital, or in a country where specialist training is scarce, that logic may prove to be the most meaningful innovation of all, a spine surgeon’s answer to a problem that extends well beyond the spine.
The PML Mastery App is currently available worldwide as a free download on Apple and Android platforms.
