<p>[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 5362440"]Medial pivot is a good design but unfortunately it's a niche product bc wright medical never invested in the product. I had a director of knee marketing tell me that they didn't pursue crosslinked poly bc of the cost associated with it. I left shortly after this. They have good bones for a knee rev system but have never invested in or updated the system to be competitive. Hard to convert a busy knee surgeon with just a niche primary knee. I heard you guys lost one of your biggest design surgeons in the south. </p><p><br /></p><p>Super path is a good technique but will always be limit due to the fact you have to use Wright implants. Modular necks have taken a beating. Now trunion wear is a hot topic. Are you guys still using the titanium stem, cocr neck, titanium sleeve, cocr head setup? If a surgeon wants to do anterior approach they can use Depuy, Stryker, Biomet, Zimmer, Exactech, DJO, medacta, smith and nephew. </p><p><br /></p><p>I worked for wright but realized Wright/microport will always be a small niche player. With the way health care is going, how do they expect to compete with the large companies and contracts that are coming. GPOs don't care about the medial pivot story or the unproven benefits of modular necks. Surgeons are now starting to care less about product "stories" and more about price, complete system, on contract, and service.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
