Overview
BSC® has supported 100s 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.
