Nothing has actually changed about the BioHorizons connection in terms of "pushing a conical connection." However, I believe people are finally starting to appreciate that there is (and always has been) a difference between the zimmer connection and biohorizons. While dimensionally the difference is very minor, funcationlly it is a tremendous difference that can be the difference between bone loss and tissue preservation over the course of a few years. Hence, there is tremendous value in long-term clinical validation of authentic products, compared with "hey it fits" reverse engineered solutions that claim one size fits all "similar" platforms. The attached literature is a 40,000-ft view of some of the data behind benefits associated with a well-engineered connection.
