I am also currently the principal investigator in an
industry-sponsored patient outcomes registry evaluating the safety and
patient outcomes for a new type of anterior lumbar interbody fusion
device. We are gathering
patient outcome data, radiographic data, and safety/complication data
in anticipation of publishing our findings and comparing them to
outcomes associated with other implants.
