Anyone not seeing how C+CSC wasn't proof of concept? Probably lays the ground work for predicates for FDA clearances. What is brazing? what if you wanted a hip stem that was Titanium Sini coated and transferred into porous silicon nitride in the middle? Without brazing I assume you would create the implant out of titanium and coat the porous titanium to achieve this effect.

All assumptions.

Here's some proofs metals can fracture, btw.

Zimmers TM dental impant suffered two major issues, lack of fusion and a tendency to grow bacteria. The bacterial issues helped slow fusion rates. The design is very nice in concept however. Love to see a Si3N4 version.

I think the scrutiny Si3N4 has been under is because of the degree of issues that Trabecular Metal had. I also think Sonnys been running Si3N4 through the testing ringer for the same reason. Cant have a TM scenario happen again.
