Therapy Area
Orthopedics & Spine
Hundreds of successful device trials
Overview
BSC has supported hundreds of orthopedic and spine device trials, establishing us as a leading statistical partner in musculoskeletal research. Our expertise spans spinal fusion systems, joint replacement devices, fracture fixation products, and soft tissue repair technologies.
Specialized Capabilities
Composite endpoint design combining radiographic and clinical success criteria. Handling of surgeon and site variability through hierarchical modeling. FDA panel meeting experience for Class III orthopedic devices. Expertise in pain and function endpoints (VAS, ODI, WOMAC, SF-36). Historical control methodologies for rare orthopedic conditions.
Regulatory Experience
We understand the orthopedic division's expectations for imaging core labs, independent radiographic assessment, and durability. Our team has successfully navigated complex discussions around equivalence margins, non-inferiority designs, and superiority claims for next-generation devices.
Representative Studies
Lumbar fusion systems (TLIF, ALIF, posterior instrumentation).
Total joint arthroplasty (hip, knee, shoulder).
Spinal cord stimulation devices.
Bone graft substitutes and biologics.
Extremity fracture fixation systems.
Design
We use innovative approaches such as Bayesian design, adaptive clinical trial design, and Propensity Score Matching to save costs, work around limited access to new data, and reduce bias in non-randomized studies.
