Zimmer Biomet Boosts Orthopedic Robotics with Monogram Acquisition

Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. has finalized the acquisition of Monogram Technologies Inc., a deal that bolsters its orthopedic robotics portfolio and paves the way for fully autonomous solutions. The acquisition, completed under the terms of a merger agreement dated July 11, 2025, and later amended on August 27, 2025, brings Monogram's innovative robotic technology to Zimmer Biomet's extensive suite of offerings.

Monogram's semi-autonomous, AI-navigated total knee arthroplasty (TKA) robotic technology, which received FDA 510(k) clearance in March 2025, will be commercialized with Zimmer Biomet implants by early 2027. This addition will complement Zimmer Biomet's existing ROSA Robotics platform, which is nearing 2,000 installations worldwide and is a leader outside the United States.

The acquisition expands Zimmer Biomet's orthopedic robotics solutions, enabling pre-, intra-, and post-operative support for surgeons. Zimmer Biomet aims to become the first orthopedic company to offer a fully autonomous robotic solution, with the planned commercialization date for Monogram's fully autonomous technology set for 2025. Monogram began a clinical study for this version in July 2025. Meanwhile, Zimmer Biomet is committed to advancing its ROSA platform, with a robust R&D pipeline featuring new products and software applications expected by 2027.

Shareholders of Monogram received $4.04 in cash and non-tradeable contingent value rights (CVRs) entitling them to up to $12.37 more if certain milestones are met by 2030. The acquisition strengthens Zimmer Biomet's position in orthopedic robotics, offering surgeons and patients advanced, AI-driven solutions for improved surgical outcomes.
