    Zimmer Biomet Highlights Robotics & Musculoskeletal Product Innovations at 2025 AAHKS Annual Meeting

    Company to Spotlight Comprehensive Hip & Knee Portfolios and Latest Advancements in Robotics, Including the mBôs™ System Following Recent Acquisition of Monogram Technologies

    WARSAW, Ind., Oct. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. (NYSE and SIX: ZBH), a global medical technology leader, today announced that it is highlighting bold innovations across its broad robotics and musculoskeletal portfolio at the 2025 annual meeting of the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS).

Zimmer Biomet will also showcase the surgeon-guided robotic technology recently acquired through the Monogram Technologies Inc. acquisition.

    “Orthopedics is at a pivotal moment,” said Ivan Tornos, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Zimmer Biomet. “As the population ages and expectations rise, patients are demanding more: less disruption, faster recovery and care that fits their lives. Surgeons need solutions that match this urgency, and that’s why we’ve engineered next-generation hip and knee implants and curated an ecosystem of robotics, digital platforms and AI. This isn’t incremental innovation — it’s the most ambitious innovation cycle in our company’s history, positioning Zimmer Biomet to deliver the industry’s most comprehensive and adaptable suite of orthopedic robotics and navigation technologies designed to elevate surgical precision and transform patient outcomes.”

    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.
