The Zimmer High-Flex Knee
Zimmer Gender Solutions High-Flex Knees are specially 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 normally much less prominent than compared to a man's. Traditional implants have a thickness in the front of the implant that may end up making them feel "bulky," which may cause pain and a loss of the range of motion. The Zimmer Gender Solutions High-Flex Knee has a thinner profile to allow for the anatomical distinction between men and women.
More Natural Movement
The angle between the hip and the knee affects the way the kneecap moves over the thighbone when the knee is set in motion. Women typically have a distinct form that usually results in a different angle between the hip and knee in comparison to men. The Zimmer Gender Solutions High-Flex Knee accounts for this difference, allowing a more natural movement.
