Stryker Rejuvenate and ABG II Physician Resource – A Comprehensive List of Stryker’s Go-To Consultants and Researchers

What doctors were most likely to be heavy users of the now recalled Stryker Rejuvenate and ABG II hip implant systems? This list was compiled from disclosures Stryker made about money it has paid to orthopedic doctors around the country for services they categorize as “consulting” and “research.” This list can also be found on Stryker’s website, however, it is not easily searchable.
