Its interesting that the rep feels Metal on Poly is actually worse than metal on metal as wear increases in MoP. From the studies ive read poly wear particles are certainly not great as they induce inflammation & osteolysis, but metal particles cause more systemic problems. Then again maybe there are other side effects from plastic being in the body not scientifically presented.

I'm curious what ratio Zimmer sells of ceramic vs MoP implants. Zimmer certainly offers more CoCr femoral heads than Biolox.
Could the issues with CoCr prompted Zimmer to work with Amedica on a new ceramic/poly implant? I mean Zimmers gotta be looking for alternatives as hip/knee is its bread n butter....kind of like iphones are apples. Just think of what would happen to Apple if it was widely known and accepted that cell phones cause cancer? Apple would definitely kiss goodbye its trillion dollar valuation.
