Let’s hear your thoughts. The economy, as it relates to Orthopedics and Spine, seems to have become stronger even with the looming healthcare reform debacle. Venture firms have shown a confidence in our industry again (not that it ever completely went away, it just went into hiding for a little while). This has to be good news, right?
