The 2017 Zimmer Biomet Persona knee replacement used a porous metal material for the tibial and femoral metal components. This porous metal was used instead of cement for bone fixation, providing excellent initial fit and the potential for long-term biological fixation. Additionally, the plastic insert in the knee replacement was infused with vitamin E for ultra-low wear and enhanced strength.
