On Thursday, September 14, at 6:30 p.m. EDT, Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia, PA will broadcast a live total knee replacement procedure featuring the Zimmer Gender Solutions High-Flex Knee, the first knee replacement shaped to fit a woman’s anatomy.
Knee replacements have long been available in many sizes, but merely using a different size for women doesn’t resolve anatomical differences. Various studies show that women’s knees significantly differ in shape from men’s knees. Pioneering research conducted for Zimmer precisely maps out those differences and is the foundation for the design and development of the Gender Solutions Knee.
