RESEARCH COLLABORATIONS

Turn trialing questions into measurable studies.

We’re interested in collaborative studies that connect functional measurements with surgical planning, construct choice, and mechanisms of instability.

WHERE WE WOULD START

Connect the plan, the trial,
and the measured result.

Two study directions closely aligned with OrthoEdge’s development program.

01 / PLANNING & MEASUREMENT

Planned versus measured motion

Where does predicted range of motion agree with motion measured during trialing, and where does it diverge?

Compare predictions from preoperative planning, robotics, or navigation with trial measurements using matched coordinate references, maneuvers, and test conditions.

Study focus: agreement and sources of difference

02 / CONSTRUCT & NEXT TRIAL

Construct comparison and next-trial evaluation

How do changes in head length, offset, liner configuration, or component family affect measured behavior?

Test whether modeled next-trial comparisons anticipate the changes observed when a different construct is assessed.

Study focus: predicted versus measured change

FURTHER RESEARCH QUESTIONS

Understand what drives
the measured behavior.

03 / MECHANISMS

Instability and impingement

Study how motion and distraction relate to observed instability and dislocation events. Use independent observations to distinguish component impingement, extra-articular restriction, and soft-tissue behavior.

04 / ANATOMICAL REFERENCES

Anatomical estimation and reference methods

Investigate whether functional measurements can support stem-version estimates. Assess candidate estimation and reference methods against independent anatomical or navigation measurements.

05 / PATIENT VARIATION

Patient variation and outcome relationships

Explore how measured motion varies with anatomy, surgical approach, and patient demographics. Future clinical studies could examine associations with subsequent instability and identify candidate ROM thresholds for further validation.

WORK WITH US

Bring a question worth measuring.

We welcome surgeon researchers, biomechanics laboratories, and orthopedic manufacturer research teams interested in developing a focused study.

Start with bench and cadaveric studies

Our initial focus is on collaborative bench and cadaveric work. Clinical investigations would follow as development and study-specific approvals permit.

Define the question together

Tell us what you want to compare, the reference method you would use, and the setting you have in mind. We can discuss study fit and the next steps.

These are proposed research directions. See the current evidence and development stage.
