Jonathan Vigdorchik, Chief Science, Technology and Medical Affairs Officer at Zimmer Biomet
“For patients, it means a surgeon whose full attention is on them, supported by intelligent surgical systems designed to facilitate decision making and help carry out their surgical plan, case after case.”

“We believe that's where orthopedics is heading, and Zimmer Biomet intends to lead the way.”
Nicolas Piuzzi, Doctor at Cleveland Clinic
“Today, planning, surgery and recovery too often live in separate silos, and the surgeon is left to connect them.”
Nicolas Piuzzi, Doctor at Cleveland Clinic
“To address the disconnected systems and bring surgeons into the conversation, Zimmer Biomet created Surgeon-Guided Autonomy, a category that asks surgeons to rethink what technology should take on and what should stay in our hands.”
Nicolas Piuzzi, Doctor at Cleveland Clinic
“Surgeon-Guided Autonomy treats them as one continuous loop, so what we learn from each recovery can shape the next plan.”
Nicolas Piuzzi, Doctor at Cleveland Clinic
“Surgeons and health systems don't have to wait to start building a more connected practice.”
