Complete failure of implant

[newbie1]

Has there been any reporta of the implant not working at all (not counting the ones that break down or end of life and which just need replacement) but rather someone who has tried all kinds of implant and still does not work?

That would be highly unlikely. Implants are high reliability medical mechanical devices that are cycle tested at insertion time. What would be the more likely failure route is some biological cause or causes that require removal and non-replacement. Severe infection comes to mind, so does surgical incompetence. Both of these are rare also.

The company rep is there to assist the surgeon, not with the surgery but with assembly and testing of the device before they "put it in you"..... so that (much) later, you can "put it in her"....... or him..... not judging..... Good luck....)))
