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 on 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 traditional knee implants it is attached to the femur bone without any cement.

Zimmer, Corporation., the maker of the artificial joint replacement systems, recently announced the recall of more than 65,000 NexGen MIS tibial knee replacement systems.
Reports revealed that it loosened, caused pain, discomfort, and sometimes infections that ultimately required additional surgery to replace the failing Zimmer NexGen knee.
Well known joint replacement specialists, including one of Zimmer's most highly regarded former orthopedic surgeon consultants, has issued strict warnings regarding 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 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 typically much less prominent in comparison to a man's. Traditional implants have a thickness in the front of the implant that may cause them to feel "bulky," which might lead to pain and a reduction in the range of motion. The Zimmer Gender Solutions High-Flex Knee features a thinner profile to accommodate the anatomical distinction between men and women.
More Natural Movement
The actual angle between your hip and the knee affects how the kneecap moves on the thighbone when the knee is set in motion. Women typically have a distinct form that usually results in a different angle between your hip and knee when compared to men. The Zimmer Gender Solutions High-Flex Knee accounts for this specific difference, allowing a more natural movement.
