WARSAW, Ind., March 10, 2025

The highlights at the Zimmer Biomet booth (#3129) include:

Hip Reconstruction Technologies

• Z1™ Femoral Hip System, a triple-taper design with expansive innovations within a more comprehensive system, providing more solutions to treat more patients.
• HAMMR^® Automated Hip Impaction System, designed to address surgeon strain, fatigue and repetitive motion associated with traditional mallet use during bone preparation and device implantation.
• OrthoGrid Hip AI^®, an AI-powered, fluoroscopy-based technology that provides direct anterior (DA) hip surgeons with intuitive and instantaneous intra-operative tools to assist surgeons in achieving the desired surgical outcomes for component positioning.¹
• HipInsight™ System, the first FDA-cleared mixed reality system for hip navigation offers intuitive, intra-operative guidance that leverages the Microsoft HoloLens 2 (mixed reality headset) to help visualize and guide accurate2 acetabular component placement and alignment in real-time.

Knee Reconstruction Technologies

• Persona^® Revision SoluTion™ Femur, a newly cleared revision knee implant component, part of the comprehensive Persona Revision Knee System, offering an alternative to cobalt-chrome (Co-Cr-Mo) alloy for patients with sensitivities to certain metals.
• Oxford^® Cementless Partial Knee, the only FDA-approved cementless partial knee implant in the U.S. that has been shown to be efficient^3,4 in the OR, and has been proven to have excellent longevity^5,6 worldwide.
• Persona^® OsseoTi^® Keel Tibia, a cementless anatomic tibia with a 3D printed porous tray from our clinically proven Persona Knee System^5-7 designed to deliver stable initial and biological fixation and intra-operative versatility.⁸
•  Persona IQ^® 30 mm Stem, the world's only smart knee implant, now in a 30 mm stem length, that collects data directly from the knee to provide post-operative recovery insights^9,10 and trends, allowing care teams to monitor and personalize the total knee arthroplasty patient experience^9-11 with the goal of improving practice efficiency.^12-15

Upper Extremities Technology

• OsseoFit™ Stemless Shoulder System, an anatomically shaped,^16-18 asymmetric stemless shoulder implant designed for stable initial^19-22 and biological fixation^{23, 24} by optimizing anatomic humeral fit for stemless shoulder arthroplasty.

ASC Solutions

• ZBX, Zimmer Biomet's new comprehensive ASC program offering surgeons an experienced partner to strategically incorporate solutions, unique to each surgeon's needs, providing efficiency in the OR and beyond.

Important Safety Information for Oxford Cementless Partial Knee:

The Oxford® Cementless Partial Knee System is indicated for use in unilateral knee procedures with osteoarthritis or avascular necrosis limited to the medial compartment of the knee. It is intended to be implanted without the application of bone cement for patients whose clinical condition would benefit from a shorter surgical time compared to the cemented implant. The Oxford Partial Knee Is not indicated for use in the lateral compartment or for patients with ligament deficiency, or for use in simultaneous bilateral surgery or planned staged bilateral procedures. Potential risks include, but are not limited to, loosening, dislocation, fracture, wear and infection, any of which can require additional surgery. For a full list of product indications, contraindications and warnings, please see the associated product Instructions For Use (IFU).
