    How about some type of an agreement with Intuitive rather than Conformis?

    I doubt it is Biomet or Conformis. Tornier would be good.

    It's go big or go home time, with only small niche players remaining outside of the very big boys.

    I think it's a lousy fit, but would add Linvatec to the list of possible Zimmer acquisition targets.

    It's their technology that's valuable. They would still be inexpensive.

    Mako has lost money for a long time. It's management was imploding from what I know. The business plan isn't sustainable. Zimmer developed a robot for surgery in 2009, only to stop the program when the business case couldn't be made to work. Good decision. Stryker must know something we don't about their intended use for the company or technology.

    Stryker routinely knows something we don't. That's why they routinely kick our ass.

    Do you routinely make use of the word routinely?

    So after a few years, has Z seen any pressure from Mako in the market?
