Don't get me wrong. I love the orthopedic industry. One of the best careers one could possible have in medical devices. We are making a difference helping people every day.
However, we have many issues. We need some new companies to fix orthopedics.
Below are a few issues I can think of:
1/Clinical data is not available for the hundreds of new ortho and spine and bio products launched each year.
2/The devices with great long term data (eg: original medial pivot total knee) are no longer commercially available to surgeons/patients (what ?).
3/True device revision rates don't show up ...
