Which Knee Implants are Defective?
The defective Zimmer NexGen CR-Flex device is a Femoral Implant. The femoral implant is a synthetic device used to cover the femur at the point where it attaches to your tibia on the knee. It contains porous fiber metal and a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy. Unlike many other traditional knee implants it's connected to the femur bone without cement.
If this is the case, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact our Zimmer knee Attorneys for a free consultation.
Zimmer, Corporation., the maker of the artificial joint replacement systems, just recently announced the recall of more than 65,000 NexGen MIS tibial knee replacement systems.
Studies showed that it loosened, caused pain, discomfort, and sometimes infections which ultimately required additional surgery to replace the failing Zimmer NexGen knee.
Well-known joint replacement surgeons, including one of Zimmer's most highly regarded former orthopedic surgeon consultants, has issued strict warnings with regards to the long-term functionality of select Zimmer NexGen knee replacement devices.
Several publications have written about various medical studies conducted by a number of orthopedic surgeons regarding many of the Zimmer NexGen knee replacement systems. These reports indicate that a large number of systems have become loose at the femoral component and have required a revision surgery.

The Zimmer High-Flex Knee
Zimmer Gender Solutions High-Flex Knees are specially manufactured to fit the unique anatomical shape of a woman's knee. They feature:
A Leaner Profile
The bone in the front of a woman's knee is usually less prominent compared to a man's. Traditional implants have a thickness in the front of the implant that may end up making them feel "bulky," which might result in pain and a decrease in the range of motion. The Zimmer Gender Solutions High-Flex Knee has a thinner profile to support the anatomical distinction between women and men.
More Natural Movement
The actual angle between your hip and the knee affects the way the kneecap moves on the thighbone when the knee is in motion. Women typically have a distinct form that frequently results in a different angle between the hip and knee when compared to men. The Zimmer Gender Solutions High-Flex Knee accomodates this difference, allowing a more natural movement.
