Zimmer NexGen CR-Flex Porous Femoral Knee Replacement System
Knee Replacement Background:
The NexGen CR-Flex Porous Femoral Knee Replacement System is manufactured by Zimmer Holdings, Inc. The NexGen CR-Flex model series was developed to offer wider range of motion compared to other artificial knees. Most artificial knees use a cement substance to bond the implant to the patient’s bone. Zimmer offers the NexGen CR-Flex in a cement and a non-cement version. In the non-cement version, the bone naturally grows and attaches to the artificial knee.
Knee Replacement Problems:
A study conducted by 2 renowned surgeons determined that the Zimmer NexGen CF-Flex Knee Replacement had a 9.3% failure rate. The surgeons’ study also found that over half of the implanted knees exhibited signs of looseness. The main reason the knee implants were failing was that the bone did not properly fuse with the implant.
Potential Symptoms:
Some of the reported symptoms include:
- Diminished Range of Motion
- Reduced Ability to Walk
- Overall Decrease in Mobility
