The Australia register looks OK - not great, but not terrible. Could the US be doing worse or are the ones we see on MAUDE actually OK given the numbers sold? I don't know, but still get a bad vibe every time one comes out clean in my territory.

AAHKS will be interesting. Lots of surgeons are chatting it up and it’s not going to be good
But it's all the fault of the plaintiff attorneys on TV stirring up trouble! If we could just get them to stop, Attune would be fine.....
Will this thing get recalled? Doctors won’t leave their reps
Now things are getting better with this knee system. It always is helpful to have your paid designers comment about how great this know is and how it offers technology (Dr. Bedikian..a joke) and how Dr. Goytia likes all the sizes he can have..how special now Dr.Jaglowiski like the pretty instrumentation and how modular it all is and how soft and ward they feel in this hands..Wow do you think any of these surgeons tell their patients how nice the Attune tibia is and how they will be looking to utilize all these nice things about the system when the patient needs a revision because the system sucks so bad and the tibia even with the new tray is a piece of shit? Of course not...these surgeons love utilizing products that cause harm and damage to patients. Here listen for yourself how these douche bags talk about this POS.

Anyone see all the DePuy sponsored events on VuMedi?
How to cement a total knee.
No joke. There are a few on there. Haven’t seen any other company promoting educational activities pertaining to proper cement technique in TKA.
Nor have I seen any other company change their tibia design so quickly after intro of a new system.

Can you post pictures on this forum? Because in my little 3m territory we’ve revised 15 in the past 3 months.
S plus came out clean here last week. We were seeing 5-7 attunes a month come out clean, has slowed down though. I have been in the OR for 12 years and have only seen 1 baseplate come out like that that wasn’t called attune. I have heard KP has removed it from hospitals out west, is that true?
Other baseplates have came out like that for sure, but not so many Sigma or LCS as Attune and that is because of the too tight articulation not the fixation surface. The Maude data doesn't show which insert was used but in my territory almost all the loose ones have been PS.
has anyone been able to get out of a non compete because of this?
True. Most of the ones I have seen have been PS and CR has a higher share in my geog. I have only seen one CR and a dozen PS.
I'm hearing we are getting obliterated in New England because of the Attune failures. True, false, competitive bullshit?
Latest is that the Keiser Permanente registry has seen how much worse Attune is than Sigma from their data and are banning use of Attune. That will get the lawyer sharks circling again.
