WARSAW, Ind., Dec. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. (NYSE and SIX: ZBH), a global medical technology leader, today announced U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance of Persona® SoluTion™ Porous Plasma Spray (PPS®) Femur, a total knee implant component offering an alternative for patients with sensitivities to bone cement and/or metal.

“With the FDA clearance of Persona SoluTion PPS Femur, in combination with our Persona OsseoTi® Tibia and OsseoTi Patella, we are proud to offer surgeons a fully cementless alternative to cobalt-chrome implants,” said Joe Urban, President, Knees at Zimmer Biomet. “Persona SoluTion PPS Femur combines our latest advances in cementless fixation with decades of proprietary clinical expertise in developing novel materials and surface hardening processes. The utility and versatility of our comprehensive and clinically proven Persona Knee System is further enhanced with the addition of this innovative solution that could help surgeons address two potential causes of revision procedures: sensitivities to bone cement and metal.”

“Hypersensitivities to bone cement or certain metals in implants are often not identified until after surgery when the patient reports pain and other signs of implant loosening,” said Dr. George Guild III, MD of Total Joint Specialists in Cumming, Georgia. “With the availability of this option, surgeons can proactively mitigate a potentially avoidable risk of implant failure.”
