An average of 130,000 knee replacement surgeries are performed annually nationwide. Our Zimmer Knee Implant lawyers are actively evaluating potential claims on behalf of people who 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 will ultimately require additional surgery to replace the failing Zimmer NexGen knee.
Many patients have been forced to to undergo additional surgery because of the defective product due to pain, discomfort, and sometimes infections in the knee.
Zimmer, Inc., the manufacturer of the artificial joint replacement system, recently announced the recall of more than 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 an artificial device used to cover the femur on the point where it attaches to your tibia on the joint. 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.
If this is the case, you may be entitled to compensation. Call our Zimmer knee Lawyers for a free appointment.
Zimmer, Corporation., the maker of the artificial joint replacement systems, not too long ago announced the recall of over 65,000 NexGen MIS tibial knee replacement systems.
Research revealed that it loosened, caused pain, discomfort, and sometimes infections which eventually 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 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 made 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 normally a good deal less prominent compared to a man's. Traditional implants have a thickness in the front of the implant which may cause them to feel "bulky," which might cause 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 how the kneecap moves over the thighbone when the knee is in motion. Women typically have a distinct form that usually results in a different angle between the hip and knee when compared to men. The Zimmer Gender Solutions High-Flex Knee accomodates this specific difference, allowing for more natural movement.
