** The deal will give Zimmer access to Paragon's surgical implants and equipment used to treat foot and ankle ailments
** Brokerage Truist says the deal makes "strategic sense" for Zimmer as "foot and ankle" is a faster growing subsegment of the orthopedic market
** Zimmer will make an upfront payment of $13.00/shr in cash, which represents an 8.3% premium to Paragon's closing price on Tuesday
** Up to last close, stock down 2.3% in the last 12 months
