Zimmer needs to make a move fast or they will continue fading into oblivion. I don't think the Amedica purchase makes sense as they have trabecular metal and they believe in that technology. If they bought Amedica it would be admitting that TM is not the best for bony in growth. 

I used to work for Zimmer and am so happy to be away from that dysfunctional company. Nobody knows what the hell they're doing in Minneapolis or Warsaw, and it's kind of a shame for the reps because there are actually some good ones that have to pray Zimmer will make an acquisition better than Endius or Abbott. Those two were a disaster. My prediction is that they buy Biomet as that would satisfy the joint side, although if I had to put money on it I go with one of the previous posters that they will just sit on the sidelines while other companies actually do something.

Go Longhorns!

I've been going back over the spineblogger posts and found some interesting predictions; LDR, Biomet, K2M, & Amedica. The above post called the Biomet merger. While he didn't see the merit in acquiring Amedica, his reasoning is based on the belief that TM experienced good bone ingrowth. Seven months later, it was published that TM cervical trial failed due to lack of fusion, amongst other issues. Now is makes sense for Zimmer to acquire Si3N4 to fill gaps in areas TM isn't up to par.

Zimmer is looking at purchasing Amedica flat out for their techology to bolster sales in spine through licensing and to purchase the next generation of hip and knee implants. You heard it here on TSB.

Sounds like a good fit if Si3N4 is the real thing when it comes to joints, or could this be another trabecular metal FUBAR? First pull the trigger, then show us that you can finally integrate something successfully. Stop resting on your total joint laurels, your time is coming to an end.
