Now Zimmer paid $232m in total for Implex's Hydrocel material which it calls Trabecular Metal. However its paid out so much more in legal costs and lawsuit settlements. At one time i had estimated the costs to being over north of a billion.
Also trabecular metal was originally used in Spine and Hip/Knee, but it grew to include dental, foot, & shoulder implants. All places Sintx Si3N4 can be used while having superior antibacterial and osteointragrative properties which should prevent such loosening issues. As far as ive seen every product that has had Trabecular Metal in it has suffered a recall and loosening.

3D printing of Si3n4 is important to help reduce Si3N4's 1 major drawback, modulus of elasticity which prevents the material from being used in certain applications like femoral stems. Still Sintx has its coating tech and can also imbue plastic implants with Si3N4 thus expanding Si3N4 market potential. This is why it can be used for so many different medical applications. There are other reasons to want to use ceramics over metals as metals amplify EM radiation (Natural and manmade) and thus increase dis-ease. More on that at the bottom of post.

Notice those bashing Sintx & Si3n4 have to resort to methods of disinformation in their posts like employing strawman argument or Reductio Ad Absurdum.

Silicon Nitride, a Close to Ideal Ceramic Material for Medical Application

examples of their medical applications that relate to spinal, orthopedic and dental implants, bone grafts and scaffolds, platforms for intelligent synthetic neural circuits, antibacterial and antiviral particles and coatings, optical biosensors, and nano-photonic waveguides for sophisticated medical diagnostic devices are all covered in the research reviewed herein. The examples provided convincingly show that silicon nitride is destined to become a leader to replace titanium and other entrenched biomaterials in many fields of medicine.

Silicon Nitride = Next Gen Hip Implant Material

Silicon nitride, silicon carbide and diamond-like carbon as non-oxide ceramics are considered to be the new generation of materials used in hip prosthetics, particularly in the manufacture of acetabular cups, due to their excellent biocompatibility, osteointegration, and tribological and mechanical properties, but all three materials need more study. However, silicon nitride is the nearest to commercialization, through businesses such as Amedica Corp. and SyntX Technologies

Im guessing the authors meant Sintx Technologies. Amedica being the companies former name before the name was sold to CTL.
