BSC Associate Statistician David Maislin co-authored a paper in Quantitative Imaging in Medicine and Surgery on “Implant placement accuracy in total knee arthroplasty; validation of CT-based measurement technique.” The researchers found that the measurement technique they studied can be used in applications where measurement errors of up to 0.9 mm in translations and up to 0.6° in rotations in component placement are acceptable.

BSC Founder Greg Maslin was invited to share his thoughts about medical devices, Bayesian analysis and the FDA on the Pod of Asclepius, a healthcare technology podcast named for the Greek god of medicine and doctors. He joined the FDA’s Martin Ho and host Glen Wright Colopy to talk about issues important to the American Statistical Association’s Section on Medical Devices and Diagnostics.

BSC Founder Greg Maislin participated in three of the FDA’s last three orthopedic panels, which reviewed the Barricaid annular closure device, the Cartiva Synthetic Cartilage Implant, and the Vertiflex Superion Implant.
