Zimmer NexGen Knee Implants Side Effects

Complications with Zimmer NexGen CR and CR-Flex

The annual meeting of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons in 2009 addressed some alleged complications associated with various models of Zimmer NexGen knee implants, namely the CR and CR-flex models.

A complication that has been found with Zimmer NexGen knee implants, reportedly, involves a piece of the artificial joint that connects at the bottom of the thighbone but fails to keep the part of the implant (commonly referred to as "high flex" knee parts) stabilized through the use of a cement.

Our knee implant injury lawyers are reviewing patient reports of the following:

After knee implant surgery is completed, patients feel unexplained pain
The replacement knee can start to loosen inside of the patient's knee
Patients requiring revision knee surgery to fix problems with their knee implants

Zimmer NexGen CR and CR-Flex and Corrective Surgery

There are some concerns surrounding use of the knee implants, specifically with the loosening of the implants, which may require corrective surgery to fix the problem.

A study conducted by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons analyzed 108 knee replacement surgeries using Zimmer NexGen knee implants over the course of approximately two years. The study found that 9 percent of patients had to undergo corrective surgery to fix complications with the original procedure. Others were found to be at risk of their knee implants coming loose and then requiring corrective surgery to remedy the prosthetic joint, according to the study.
