Zimmer Biomet Showcases Cutting-Edge Orthopedic Innovations at AAOS 2025 Annual Meeting

Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc., a leading global player in medical technology, unveiled a diverse range of orthopedic and musculoskeletal innovations during the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) 2025 Annual Meeting held from March 10 to 14 in San Diego. The company’s booth (#3129) was abuzz with activity, as attendees explored Zimmer Biomet's comprehensive portfolio designed to enhance patient mobility and health.

One of the key highlights on display was the Z1™ Triple-Taper Femoral Hip System, a cutting-edge design that forms part of a broader hip reconstruction strategy. The system aims to provide a variety of solutions to address the unique needs of patients undergoing surgery. This innovation is complemented by the HAMMR® Automated Hip Impaction System, which focuses on reducing surgeon fatigue associated with traditional methods of bone preparation and device implantation.

Additionally, Zimmer Biomet has been at the forefront of integrating artificial intelligence into surgical techniques. Their OrthoGrid Hip AI® technology utilizes AI-driven tools to assist surgeons with intraoperative decisions, ensuring optimal component positioning during hip surgeries. For a groundbreaking navigational experience, the booth featured the HipInsight™ System, the first FDA-cleared mixed reality system for hip navigation, employing Microsoft’s HoloLens 2 to deliver real-time, intuitive guidance during procedures.

Moving beyond the hip solutions, the company's advancements in knee reconstruction captured attention with the introduction of the Persona® Revision SoluTion™ Femur, a revision knee implant component that offers an alternative solution for patients with sensitivities to certain metals. The Oxford® Cementless Partial Knee, recognized as the only FDA-approved cementless partial knee implant in the U.S., was also showcased, emphasizing its proven efficiency in operating rooms and its exceptional longevity across various patient demographics.

A highlight among knee technologies was the Persona IQ® 30 mm Stem, branded as the world's first smart knee implant. This product tracks data directly from the knee, presenting care teams with post-operative insights and trends that can personalize the recovery experience for total knee arthroplasty patients.

For upper extremity solutions, Zimmer Biomet launched the OsseoFit™ Stemless Shoulder System, which is designed to achieve initial and biological fixation by optimizing fit without traditional stem implantation techniques. This approach caters to the diverse anatomical needs of patients, ensuring effective surgical outcomes.

Furthermore, Zimmer Biomet introduced ZBX™, its new Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) program tailored for surgeons seeking efficient operational solutions. This initiative underscores Zimmer Biomet's commitment to enhancing the efficiency of the surgical experience and expanding the orthopedic field’s potential.

Ivan Tornos, President and CEO of Zimmer Biomet, expressed excitement about showcasing the company's innovative capabilities, stating that they are currently in a remarkable cycle of innovation. He emphasized the importance of aligning their products with the evolving needs of patients and healthcare providers, ensuring better outcomes and improved efficiency.
