EFORT Robotic Travelling Fellowship supported by Stryker
|
Three of our travelling fellows share their insights
from their visits at our centres of excellence in Germany and Austria
|
In February and March 2023, Dr. Matthias Luger and Dr. Max Thieme travelled together for 4 weeks and visited our host sites in Hannover, Brandenburg, Graz and Linz to gather new knowledge in the field of robotics in hip and knee arthroplasty.
Dr. Thieme concludes his report by saying that "My technical skills have been enhanced during the fellowship, I learned to understand the different setting options of the MAKO robot and what opportunities robotics offers."
|
Then, in April and May 2023, Dr. Ayman Gabr was able to follow the footsteps of Dr. Luger and Dr. Thieme and repeated this 4-week fellowship programme in both countries. He says that "this Fellowship was invaluable, and it was a platform for further clinical and academic collaborative work with these great people I have met on this fellowship."
Discover their fellowship experience through their own word.

Clinical evidence in the evaluation of high-risk medical devices:
Surveying the landscape

Additionally, CORE-MD partners investigated on exploring the use of real-world data to generate further evidence for HRMD. In this sense, registries may provide useful information together with the analysis of adverse events. In the context of the implementation of the medical device regulation, improving transparency and robustness of clinical evidence is key to have safe device on the market.
Ultimately, regulators and notified bodies will benefit from improved clinical evidence for the evaluation of HRMD.
CORE-MD is a European Union Horizon 2020 project. It reviews methods for evaluating high-risk medical devices in order to translate expert evidence into advice for EU regulators and to recommend an appropriate balance between innovation, safety , and clinical effectiveness.
