Zimmer NexGen Knee Implants

When patients can no longer walk, sit down, or go up and down stairs without a pain in their knees, their physicians usually tell them they require a knee replacement surgery. Zimmer NexGen is a company that provides patients with knee system implants, which are prosthetic joints and bones that act as a normal part of the body once the patient has undergone knee surgery.

The types of knee systems that Zimmer NexGen offers are the following:

Primary Knee Joint Replacement:

NexGen Cruciate Retaining (CR)
NexGen Legacy Posterior Stabilized (LPS)
NexGen Legacy Posterior Flex-Fixed (LPS-Flex)

Revision Knee Joint Replacement:

NexGen Cruciate Retaining Augmentable (CRA)
NexGen Legacy Constrained Condylar (LCCK)

Zimmer NexGen Knee Replacement Surgical Technique

There is a certain type of knee surgery that is required for a Zimmer NexGen Knee replacement. It is a minimally invasive surgery where physicians can make a smaller incision (usually 4 to 6 inches compared to the usual 8 to 10 inches) so the tissue around the knee system will not be damaged to a greater degree. The goal of this knee replacement surgical procedure is to allow for patients to have a quicker recovery time and so that it leaves less scarring around the knee.

Zimmer NexGen Knee Prosthesis

A Zimmer NexGen prosthetic knee is one that is artificially made and can be placed in the body by means of undergoing knee surgery. All patients must talk to their physician to see if a prosthetic knee replacement is right for them.

The most common reasons patients opt for knee replacement surgery include the following:

Osteoarthritis, when the joint cartilage around the knee deteriorates
Rheumatoid Arthritis, the knee joint's lining becomes inflamed
Traumatic Arthritis, arthritis after a physical knee injury occurs
Fractures, knee joint bones can break for a number of reasons
Corrections to complications caused by other knee surgeries

One thing that patients should know about knee prosthesis is that man-made joints cannot compare to a real human joint that is healthy and strong. Prosthetic knees might need to be replaced because there is no way to determine if a knee system will last for a patient's entire life time.

Some patients have reported complications with their knee replacement systems. If you’ve experienced problems that have caused you pain and required additional surgery, we may be able to help you. Contact us to speak with a knee replacement lawyer today.
