What difference does it make. The question is how many have been revised. Hell, a shit load of Pre- Coats were put in but it takes a few years to see the results

Are you kidding? They have been using this in Europe for 30 years. If they are put in correctly the results are undenyable. Compare that to the Preservation, which has been used in Europe for 5 years and is being discontinued for a 14% revision rate.

Do you often throw misleading information out there? I bet you have been in this business less than 2 years. Pre coat is not associated with this product or company. Check the big Z you big D.
 



I'm talking about the fervor of the pre-coat when it first came out. Everyone thought it was a great answer to long trem survivorship. Well it was obvious after 5 years that wasn't the case. There may be 30 years of succes with the designers, but what about the average surgeon in small town America. The oxford is not easy to put in as most average surgeons will tell you. Only time will tell. Europes results aren't always the same as our domestic results. By the way..I've got 30 years in orthopedics and I've seen the hype on many products. My point is time will tell. Thanks for calling me a "D". Real professional

The same can be said of all total joints not done in high volume centers. There have been several recent studies to suggest that. If all you can say about the Oxford is that it may be harder to put in, go build a better mouse trap. I take it that we stole some business from you. The Oxford is the best uni-knee design in orthopaedic history. I think uni's are not done as often and the unfamiliarity of doing any Uni can lead to complications. You have been in ortho for 30 years, it is similar to total shoulders. How often have you seen complications or revisions of a hemi or total shoulder? In my mere 13 years, I have seen plenty.
 









If your hospital wants to buy a $300k machine, then they can put in robo uni's with no clinical history. However they will feel rather obligated to use it. It will turn into a coat rack in 5 years while the oxford has its 35 year results...

This is one of the reasons I quit using the Oxford and switched to Mako. My Biomet rep was just as ignorant as you are. I have revised almost 30 Oxford uni's from surgeons around this area (including my own). The Oxford is all about marketing and you had me fooled for a short while. It is all about how you put the implant in and not what the implant is about. Yes I know your marketing people tell you different, but they are clueless.

Dr. Rosen-Penis:

You did it wrong and so did the ones you revised. The Mako is a turd. I have seen a few mako's revised as well. Of the one's I have seen several had undersized tibias that loosened within a year, one had a tibial plateau fx, loose flexed femurs, etc. Please go back to your distributor and ask him to carry some more lines.
