What's the big deal about "winning" Victory Pharma?

May 25, 2009

Analysis by:Gordon Hardy, Chief of Medical Staff ,

Sciele wins Victory Pharma | www.bizjournals.com

I am a board certified orthopaedic surgeon in active clinical practice involved the operative and nonoperative treatment of arthritis and other joint related conditions.  I am familiar with the Victory Pharma product line as it relates to orthopaedics. Essentially, their products are recycled pharmaceuticals with either dosage changes or slight product modifications. 

Joint Implants will always be needed

January 5, 2009

Analysis by:Giles Scuderi, Director, Orthopedic Surgeon,

Medical devices not immune to recession worries | www.boston.com

This article highlights some of the concerns regarding the economy and utilization of surgical implants. While patients may defer total hip and knee surgery, they will ultimately undergo surgery for pain relief and restoration of function. The number of baby boomers with arthritis will increase the surgical volume. Insurance continues to cover the cost of surgery for the majority of patients.

There is a need for a total joint registry in the United States

August 6, 2008

Analysis by:Giles Scuderi, Director, Orthopedic Surgeon,

New York Times July 29, 2008 A call for warning system on artificial joints | www.nytimes.com

The AAOS has established the need for a total joint registry however there are financial and legal hurdles that must be overcome. The value of total joint registries have been realized in Europe and Australia with a significant reduction in the revision rate of implants. A joint registry can provide an early warning system on issues or problems related to a particular implant design or surgical technique. With the rising cost of healthcare, a registry in the United States can be a cost effective use of our limited healthcare resources. If the data can be delivered to the orthopedic community in a timely and understandable fashion, it should and will influence the surgeon's behavior and decision making such that patients and society are benefited.

Mail order drugs flying off shelves | www.gazette.com

I could not agree more that people should have a choice and maybe the pricing markey is the US will finally drop after how it see it will work all pharmacies across the country. The manufacturers need to be held responsible for this issue, they caused it with raising prices and making more of a profit. They should join in with the oil industry these two make a good pair on how to rep off the consumer.
