Nearly 130,000 knee replacement surgeries are performed every year nationally. Our Zimmer Knee Implant lawyers 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, causing pain, discomfort, and infections which usually eventually require additional surgery to replace the failing Zimmer NexGen knee.
Many patients have been forced to to endure additional surgery due to the defective product due to pain, discomfort, and quite often infections inside the knee.
Zimmer, Inc., the manufacturer of the artificial joint replacement device, recently reported the recall of more than 65,000 NexGen MIS tibial knee replacement products.
Which Knee Implants are Flawed?
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 consists of porous fiber metal and a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy. Unlike a number of other conventional knee implants it is connected to the femur bone without any cement.
If this is the case, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact our Zimmer knee Lawyers for a free appointment.
Zimmer, Corporation., the maker of the artificial joint replacement systems, recently announced the recall of over 65,000 NexGen MIS tibial knee replacement systems.
Studies revealed that it loosened, caused pain, discomfort, and sometimes infections which eventually required a revision surgery to replace the failing Zimmer NexGen knee.
Well-known joint replacement doctors, including one of Zimmer's most highly regarded former orthopedic surgeon consultants, has issued strict warnings concerning the long-term functionality of select Zimmer NexGen knee replacement implants.
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 specifically made to fit the unique anatomical shape of a woman's knee. They feature:
A Slimmer Profile
The bone in the front of a woman's knee is typically much less prominent in comparison to a man's knee. Traditional implants have a thickness in the front of the implant which may end up making them feel "bulky," which might result in pain and a loss of the range of motion. The Zimmer Gender Solutions High-Flex Knee features a slimmer profile to allow for the anatomical distinction between women and men.
More Natural Movement
The actual angle between the 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 when compared to men. The Zimmer Gender Solutions High-Flex Knee accomodates this difference, allowing a more natural movement.
