An average of 130,000 knee replacement surgical procedures are performed each year across the nation. Our Zimmer Knee Implant attorneys are actively evaluating potential claims on behalf of people that received a NexGen CR-Flex Zimmer-brand knee implant and have suffered problems after receiving the implant.
Research indicates that the implant can loosen, triggering pain, discomfort, and infections which many times eventually require additional surgery to replace the failing Zimmer NexGen knee.
A number of patients have needed to undergo additional surgery due to the defective device due to pain, discomfort, and frequently bacterial infections in the knee.
Zimmer, Inc., the manufacturer of the artificial joint replacement device, recently announced the recall of over 65,000 NexGen MIS tibial knee replacement products.
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 on the point where it attaches to your tibia on the joint. It contains porous fiber metal and a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy. Unlike a number of other conventional knee implants it's connected to the femur bone without cement.
If this is the case, you may be entitled to compensation. Call our Zimmer knee Lawyers for a free appointment.

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 exclusively manufactured to fit the unique anatomical shape of a woman's knee. They feature:
A Thinner Profile
The bone in the front of a woman's knee is usually less prominent than compared to a man's knee. Traditional implants have a thickness in the front of the implant that can cause them to feel "bulky," which may result in pain and a decrease in the range of motion. The Zimmer Gender Solutions High-Flex Knee has a thinner profile to allow for the anatomical distinction between women and men.
More Natural Movement
The angle between your hip and the knee affects the way the kneecap moves on the thighbone when the knee is in motion. Women have a distinct form that generally results in a different angle between the hip and knee in comparison to men. The Zimmer Gender Solutions High-Flex Knee accomodates this difference, allowing for more natural movement.
As a firm, we handle matters involving:
complex personal injury claims resulting in wrongful death or
catastrophic injuries including traumatic brain injury (TBI), brain damage,spinal cord injuries, burn injuries,and severely broken bones.
