Attune Tibia issue

Agreed. All of the above, except HV cement, and persona knees...haven’t seen much written on those. The damning articles on cement and technique is propaganda spread by JJ so they can deflect from the crappy trays of Attune. Seen this same thing happen over and over with DePuy. It’s a mystery why any doc uses them after being burned several times.

Relationships and getting them hooked up with the various side businesses most depuy reps have going.
 






Most of the 15 year+ DePuy reps in my area have left in the past 3 years. So the relationship thing doesn’t cut it. Still scratching my head why docs continue to use. Fool me once...
 






Knees declined by almost 2% in the quarter. While U.S. sales declined, we improved our performance for the fourth straight quarter driven by uptake of the ATTUNE Revision system.


Hmmm I wonder why...

former depuy rep here.. I was around before the attune launch and the years after full push for sigma to attune conversions. Initially almost every surgeon had fantastic feedback, than 18 months out it happened. Even the most meticulous surgeons who actually gave a shit about outcomes were noticing tibias jumping out with no fixation. The joint recon cowboys that did 8 cases a day chalked it up to an acceptable outcome, but the artists that did 1-2 a day and cared were in disbelief. I witnessed firsthand that we were told to blame their cement technique, than switch from our cement to pala and change up viscosity... This was all done to buy time to secure deals for jumping ship and bringing as much business as possible... From the get go it was known what the problem was... Nail in the coffin was the song and dance trips to warsaw for facility tours, it was openly talked about in joking terms by the local pencil pushers and engineers regarding the eventually recall and lawsuit. Worst secret ever.

Don't let anyone fool you, this was strategized and calculated before the system was rolled out. This is just an acceptable risk they decided they could take. It will only get worse.

This is what you get when you mount a large red LED "DAYS UNTIL LAUNCH" clock on the wall in the hallway at DePuy, a year or more before launch! I was there too, fortunately not in a design capacity.
 






How many quarters in a row will knee sales decline? Going on 7 o 8 here with the Attune leading the charge. Timing couldn’t be worse given the market changes with robotics-Mako, Navio and Rosa. How many reps have left for greener pastures?
 


















Has anyone been able to get out of their noncompete because of Attune? Our distributor has driven out a lot of good reps. Just curious if anyone has been able to use Attune? If it’s not the loose trays it’s the ridiculous amount of backorder.

The Attune knee is terrible. Back orders are common. Get over it.
 
























Attune is giving better patient outcomes just like Actis gives better patient outcomes. Overall the survivorship will be worse but the ones that survive do better. How do you manage that?

Former Stryker rep..17 years...Let me list the lies told to surgeons and hidden by Stryker—TMZF metal pulled off market quietly—under the auspices of new design—Acc 2 is ti6..hmmm...v40 heads recalled surgeons told not to worry—4700 cases in court now—Rejuvenate/ABG gone-..Tritanium cup—lawsuits everywhere—Stryker launches Trident 2...hmmm...My Mother has Stryker knee one side and Attune on other...she will pick the Attune any day over the Stryker ‘ap slide’...and learn to read the registry people!! By the way I pulled out plenty of Stryker Scorpios/triathlons while with them...no one is immune to failures...and shame on reps that sell from the negative you embarrass the profession ..but this is the new Stryker way if cant beat them toss s’’t—

In all fairness you have just described every major company. Depuy, Stryker and ZB all have questionable products that just disappeared or were “re-designed” and re launched. I pray your mother’s Attune continues to do well and good luck with your new endeavors.
