What critics are saying

  • Memphis manufacturing consolidation creates single-point-of-failure for orthopedics production in 12-24 months.
  • Integrity acquisition's $225M performance milestones depend on unproven Tendon Seam technology achieving adoption.
  • Chinese pricing reforms and US reimbursement headwinds compress margins simultaneously in 2026.
