WARSAW, Ind., March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. (NYSE and SIX: ZBH), a global medical technology leader, today announced that it is highlighting its diverse portfolio of orthopedic and musculoskeletal innovations at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) 2025 Annual Meeting being held March 10-14 in San Diego. During the meeting, the Company's booth will prominently feature its comprehensive hip portfolio, anchored by the new Z1(TM) Triple-Taper Femoral Hip System, along with the latest technologies for knee and upper extremity reconstruction and key components from its robotic solutions. In addition, Zimmer Biomet is debuting ZBX((TM)), its new Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) offering to surgeons and institutions looking to expand their orthopedic footprint.
"I am thrilled to showcase the collective strength and broad range of our musculoskeletal portfolio, including the introduction of several recently cleared technologies, at this year's annual AAOS meeting," said Ivan Tornos, President and Chief Executive Officer at Zimmer Biomet. "We are in the midst of one of the largest innovation cycles in our company's history. Our broad hip reconstruction portfolio combined with our comprehensive knee portfolio with constructs designed to safeguard against cement and metal sensitivities, our bone-preserving stemless shoulder and now an enhanced suite of ASC solutions, squarely position us at the forefront of delivering customer-centric innovations to improve efficiency and overall patient outcomes."
The highlights at the Zimmer Biomet booth (#3129) include:
Hip Reconstruction Technologies
-- Z1(TM) 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(TM) 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(TM) 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(TM) 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).
