Zimmer® Gender Solutions™ NexGen® High-Flex Knee

Femoral Mapping—Applying the Science

To address the issue of overhang in female knee arthroplasty, Zimmer has devised a unique patent pending method for predetermining the contour of a resected bone and the fit of an implant on the bone, and applied this novel method in its development of the Gender Solutions High-Flex Femoral Implant.

A traditional implant overhangs female bone as shown in red.

Zimmer Gender Solutions High-Flex implant on female bone shows little to no overhang as shown in the lower model.
