Guess What? Size Does Matter: Metal On Metal Spine Implants
October 27, 2015
Metal on Metal or MoM medical devices is causing problems for hundreds of thousands of hip and spine implant patients.

Why Size Matters When It Comes to Medical Devices
Lana Keeton
This is absolutely true for all medical devices. People buy shoes, gloves, clothes BY SIZE. Shoes too big or too small are horrible and everyone knows that. Size matters.
So how a medical device maker would make one size fits all medical devices of any kind, spine implants, hip implants, surgical mesh, is absolutely ludicrous.
Basic common sense does not seem to get in the way of the engineers creating these one size fits all devices. Ludicrous!
