Hey U. S. Spine, Why All The Press Releases?

With a sudden epidemic of Press Releases, we would suspect that U.S. Spine is looking to quell "the word on the street" that there's trouble in paradise. Some of our industry sources, aka "the eye in the sky," have speculated that they are looking to provide Paul Sendro with positive publicity considering the company's ridiculous statements when they hired him. You know, "was instrumental in turning Vertebron around, etc., etc., and so on......."

One of our commentator's reported that two more employees have left U.S. Spine and that the company was relocating. Just out of curiosity, it would be interesting to identify how much of their business is medical advisory board or consultant driven, just like any other early-growth stage company's? You know the old adage; "You can't teach an old dog new tricks!" The Spine Blogger wants to know what its readers think?

  1. I was wondering the same thing. Is it possible that US Spine is blowing its own horn to create the kind of buzz in preparation for a higher asking price?

  2. I too have been pretty surprised about all the attention when in reality I never hear anything in the field about this company. Word is they owe a bunch of vendors so it will be interesting what the next press releases are about.

  3. I have heard the same things. Supposedly there is a temporary CEO and finance guy running the show and Sendro probably out front to take the fall (if and) when it comes. I hadn't heard about any relocation, but they definitely have lost or let go a significant number of people considering they are a smaller company. At least they are in the warm state of Florida this winter & don't have to worry about paying the heating bill!
