NOW…..THE REST OF MY STORY KNOWN FACTS……..MUST BECOME REALITY: Partnership (small or big) must transcends all boundaries True Partnership takes place at the intellectual level (Performance level and Wavelength) – PASSION DRIVES THEM Sacrifices at all levels…….Leaders in the trust sense Nothing comes EASY.… it has to Be Earned Intangibles and Luck will help - for those in the High level performance and partnership zone

National Priority to become the Global Leader Complex fractures of the Tibia and Femur: Need for Resorbable Fixation Plates, Pins and Screws Before After Malformations • will create biodegradable metals with the promise that new kinds of implants can adapt to the human body and eventually dissolve when no longer needed, eliminating multiple surgery and reduce health care costs • “Imagine Implants with their own intelligence that adapt to biological • changes of the patient and are automatically eliminated from the body after healing” Cleft Lip • TRAUMA Medical spending: Close to $250 billion • Total knee replacement surgeries increased by 85% in the recent years. • % mini plate surgeries led to infection 64% of Ti plate fixations need to be removed due to complications, infections, pain • stents are difficult to remove and additional stents must be inserted (elicit an immune response that can lead to the growth of scar tissue and the formation of blood clots) • Value of regenerative implants, Degradable metal anchors, screws, plates, stents and drug eluting stents, staples, sutures, sternal wires, and meshes • PRICELESS
