Zimmer—An Industry Leader

Zimmer has been a worldwide leader in orthopaedics for more than 75 years. Our implants have been used in millions of patients all over the world. We have also pioneered techniques that are less invasive for joint replacement patients, resulting in less scarring, shorter hospital stays and less pain.

Our Vision

At Zimmer, we believe it is simply wrong that a large segment of our population needlessly suffers the pain and accompanying lifestyle restrictions that could be readily relieved through orthopaedic treatment.  In recent years, Zimmer has sponsored several initiatives to help address the cultural and social factors that contribute to the disparity of care.  The most recent of these initiatives is an informational campaign, called the Back in the Groove™ Community Healthcare Program, designed as a community partnership initiative that will give African-American arthritis sufferers and their loved ones unprecedented access to information about knee and hip replacement options.

Back in the Groove™

Zimmer’s Back in the Groove™ Program is the first of its kind.  Back in the Groove™ is a campaign created to provide the information you deserve to know about and facts that can change your life. The Arthritis Foundation reports that African Americans are less likely to consider joint replacement procedures than others. Through awareness, health fairs, community events and reaching out to orthopaedic surgeons in your area, Zimmer is committed to keeping all Americans informed.
