A study conducted into the suffering of patients who had received the implants determined that the cause of the loosening was Zimmer's new porous metal technology which was used rather than traditional cementing. Despite appeals from surgeons to recall the products, Zimmer continues to make them available for sale. This is hardly surprising considering that the NexGen implants made them over $20 million in 2009 alone.
