Introducing the Zimmer®

Gender Solutions™ Knee

From the clothes we wear to our taste in movies, women are different from men. In fact, research shows that we are different all the way down to our knees. Yet, up to this point, all knee replacement implants have been designed based on an average size of both women's and men’s knees combined.

As the number of women having knee replacement grew significantly, leading orthopaedic surgeons began reporting the need for more frequent adjustments during surgery in order to make traditional implants fit their female patients. It became clear that it was time for a knee implant specifically designed to fit the shape and size of women’s anatomy. As a result, the Zimmer Gender Solutions Knee was born.

A unique shape and size

The Zimmer Gender Solutions Knee has a unique shape and size that has 3 distinct differences from all other knee implants. It has a thinner profile, allows for more natural movement of the kneecap, and has a shape specially contoured for women.

The only knee truly for women

Women suffer from more knee pain and disability than men.¹ Yet traditional knee replacement options were not designed with a fit and function specifically to accommodate the different shape and size of a woman’s knee. Now, with the advent of the Zimmer Gender Solutions Knee, we can look at knee replacements in a whole new way.
