Shoulder

[Anonymous]

I thought Tornier was now the market leading Foot & Ankle company? At least that's what I've been able to gather from reading these posts......

Re-read the posts then. They aren't anywhere near the market lead in foot and ankle

That's because they only hire wm castoffs for the foot and ankle positions. Other companies offer better pay to keep successful reps. who really wants to go to this company to work harder for less money.

The shoulder is an afterthought now. What a shame.

-I'm not sure that the Flex is "me too"......I haven't seen anything out there that with the same design rationale or instrumentation.

-The PerFORM glenoid may be similar, but with less bone loss due to matching the glenoid curvature resulting in less glenoid reaming

-RVD baseplate helps to prevent glenoid bone loss compared to Biomet's enormous post/screw...

-haven't seen the screw in baseplate that you're speaking of that would copy the DJO design

-PerFORM glenoid allows for positioning away from current glenoid wear....

-Plenty of reasons for a doc to go back to Tornier based on the Flex's design - bone sparing glenoid component, bone sparing humeral component, and a sales rep that actually knows about shoulder replacement vs. a knee/hip rep who moonlights as a shoulder specialist.

I don't care either way, I have just seen the new design and how it stacks up against the competition. I think the other companies are screwed if Tornier can get back to what it does best.....Shoulders!

Someone must have been hitting the bottle pretty hard when they wrote that... TR?
