wahahahhaahah funny that was a good one though.
the truth is some pivot medially, some laterally.
the conformis rep didnt have the know how to answer.
No worries PS is now availableClassic case of expecting a PS oriented surgeon to manage a CR technique and the need to make sure the PCL is not chronically encapsulated or requiring the normal standard release before or after the tibial resection.
So the conformis response to high manipulation rate is to blame the surgeon. That sounds like a winner. The technology is interesting and good for marketing. That doesn't mean that it will perform as advertised. "Off the shelf" implants have proven track records, proven instruments, and the new ones have more than enough sizing options to fit all patients.
Most normal knees have a medial pivot during normal activities. There are some activities where they don't pivot. ACL deficient knees display a lateral pivot during a lot of normal activities.
Wonder how many more of these it will take to convince the nay-sayers.
