An average of  130,000 knee replacement surgical procedures are performed each year 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.

 

Studies indicate that the implant can loosen, triggering pain, discomfort, and infections which many times ultimately require additional surgery to replace the failing Zimmer NexGen knee.

 

A number of patients have been forced to to undergo additional surgery because of 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 announced the recall of over 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 an artificial  device used to cover  the femur at the point where it connects to the tibia on the joint.  It contains porous fiber metal and a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy.  As opposed toContrary to many other traditional knee implants it's connected 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 consultation.

 

Zimmer, Corporation., the manufacturer of the artificial joint replacement systems, recently announced the recall of over 65,000 NexGen MIS tibial knee replacement systems.

 

Studies showed that it loosened, caused pain, discomfort, and sometimes infections which ultimately required additional 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.

 

Call us today for a free consultation regarding your Zimmer Knee implant.  Depending upon the facts of your case, you could be entitled to compensation for your injuries. 

 

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 less prominent than compared to a man's knee. Traditional implants have a thickness in the front of the implant that can cause them to feel "bulky," which might cause pain and a reduction in the range of motion. The Zimmer Gender Solutions High-Flex Knee features a thinner profile to support the anatomical difference between men and women.

.

More Natural Movement

 

The angle between the 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 generally results in a different angle between your hip and knee in comparison to men. The Zimmer Gender Solutions High-Flex Knee accounts for this difference, allowing a more natural movement.

 

 

As a firm, we handle matters involving:

 

complex products liability claims resulting in wrongful death or

catastrophic injuries such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), brain damage,spinal-cord injuries, burn injuries,and severely broken bones.

 

Our Columbia, SC defective product lawyers understand the impact that a defective product may have upon your life.

 

With persistence and dedication our lawyers will work relentlessly to secure positive results in your injury claim.
