Perhaps Zimmer gets so mad at you for continuously rubbing their nose in things they want and cant have. Coorstek hasn't bothered me once.

Good point. Zimmer gets its femoral heads from Ceramtec. Why would they want to go ahead and start a highly complex and expensive endeavor of manufacturing SiN heads? Makes no sense.
Obviously they can’t get the spinal implant line now!
