We assist companies by performing basic research or product-based research. Assistance can be at any level: defining the research protocol, providing the laboratory and equipment for testing, data acquisition and reduction, statistical analysis, and manuscript preparation. Publications can take the form of an internal white sheet, a conference abstract, or a manuscript appropriate for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.

We have assisted in the following published research projects:

• In Vitro Performance of Tornier Bipolar Press-Fit Radial Head System
• High Rate of Fusion in Sheep Cervical Spines Following Anterior Interbody Surgery with Absorbable and Non-Absorbable Implant Devices
• Comparison of Minimally Invasive and Conventional Open Posterolateral Lumbar Fusion: Measurement of Intramuscular Pressure During Surgical Retraction, and High Resolution Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Resultant Paraspinal Muscle Damage
• SPIRE Spinous Process Plate: Biomechanical Evaluation of a Novel Technology
• Intramuscular Pressure is Less with Minimally Invasive Spinal Reactors than with Open Retractors
• Extrusion Resistance of an Injectable Nucleus Replacement in the Human Cadaver Spine
• Effect of Injectable Disc Nucleus on Function of the Human Cadaver Spine
• Evaluation of a novel bioabsorbable composite for use as an anterior lumbar interbody fusion device
  
• Case History: Accelerated Fatigue Testing of Prototype Advanced Facer Canceller Systems
