""" the risk that additional clinical data may call into question the benefits of NuVasive's products to patients"""

1Q Financial release from Nuva says an "Accounting Change" is why they are showing a profit for the 1st quarter.

""NuVasive said it changed the way it accounts for the value of loaned instrument sets that went into service before Jan. 1. The change is expected to add 8 cents per share to its annual profit""

Surgeon's posting to MAUDE is intriguing:

""Screw implant locking mechanism is unconventional and unreliable.""

Not good for the Patent Owner

This means Obama bailed out Nuva:

If Franky Hobbs is throwing down $165 million on Nuvasive.....it's going to go UP...not down.

Franky Hobbs from Lord Abbett is also the guy who bailed out GMAC/ and "made it profitable" under the new name "Ally Financial"....... """"$1+ Billion profitability the first year"""".

That means never mind the numbers...we'll make our own.
