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 the tibia on the knee. It contains porous fiber metal and a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy. Unlike many other traditional knee implants it's attached to the femur bone without cement.
If this is the case, you might be entitled to compensation. Call our Zimmer knee Attorneys to schedule a free appointment.
Zimmer, Corporation., the maker of the artificial joint replacement systems, just recently announced the recall of over 65,000 NexGen MIS tibial knee replacement systems.
Scientific studies showed that it loosened, caused pain, discomfort, and sometimes infections that eventually required a revision 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 in connection with 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 specially 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 a good deal less prominent in comparison to a man's knee. Traditional implants have a thickness in the front of the implant which may cause them to feel "bulky," which might lead to pain and a loss of the range of motion. The Zimmer Gender Solutions High-Flex Knee features a slimmer profile to support the anatomical distinction between men and women.
More Natural Movement
The actual angle between your hip and the knee affects the way the kneecap moves over the thighbone when the knee is in motion. Women typically 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 accounts for this specific difference, allowing a more natural movement.
