Surgeon Consultants-Consolidation?

Anyone hear of any consolidation of surgeon consultants yet? I can't imagine we will retain both Biomet and Zimmer consultants.
I've heard that most Zimmer projects are being scrapped in favor of current and future Biomet systems (Atlas Revision Hip getting axed, BCR knee getting axed, New revision knee likely to be killed off.) Any need for these 'surgeon designers?' That should kill a few royalty deals along the way. How many observation sites and surgeon champions are going to be needed once we kill off Nexgen, ML Taper, TM Modular, LCCK?
 






Maybe a bit aggressive on the products whacked but projects have been cancelled. Distributors, executives, sales reps and marketing people have been let in go during this consolidation. What makes it so idiotic to suggest that there will be fewer opportunities for surgeon consultants?
