Zimmer Partnership Division

Official Partner

Through our partnership with the Montreal branch of Zimmer Biomet, a global medical technology leader specializing in orthopaedic innovations, Underground Ortho has succesfully been able to deliver to McGill medical students three joint hands-on and didactic workshops on Zimmer premises just outside of Old Montreal.

Workshops have centered on Zimmer’s ROSA Knee, Hip and Shoulder systems for robotic arthroplasty. Sessions begin with a presentation from the Zimmer team of the technologies on display that day, followed by a walk-through of how the technology could assist the orthopaedic surgeon in the operating room.

In Zimmer’s simulated orthopaedic OR, students had the chance to interface with ROSA and engage in hands-on use of orthopaedic surgical power tools, such as oscillating bone saws and bone drills on 3D printed bone.

Thanks to our partnership with Zimmer, McGill medical students can expect workshops to be held on a regular basis. We anticipate to expand the audience and introduce novel modalities in future sessions.
