Warsaw, our county seat, is considered the “Orthopedic Capital of the World.” We are home to orthopedic implant giants like Zimmer, DePuy, Biomet, MedTronic and Symmetry Medical. The industry is a tradition that actually began with DePuy and a simple wire mesh splint which was created in 1895.
State of the art hip and knee replacements, as well as a host of other orthopedic implants — the same ones used to repair well-worn joints of such people as Mary Lou Retton and even the Pope — are custom manufactured right here in the Midwest and distributed worldwide.
