(HealthNewsDigest.com) – Surgeons who conducted clinical trials to test Infuse Bone Graft, a Medtronic bone-growth protein widely used in spine surgery, didn’t report serious complications that arose in those trials in their research papers, a new study says.

Over the past decade, 15 of those surgeons have collectively received at least $62 million from the medical-device giant for unrelated work, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of Medtronic documents and of recent disclosures made on the company’s website.
