How do I find out if I am a candidate for the Zimmer Gender Solutions Knee?

The best way to find out if you are a candidate for the Zimmer Gender Solutions Knee is to meet with an orthopaedic surgeon who uses the implant. Find a Doctor near you, or call 1-877-GEN-KNEE.

Knee replacement is considered when:

• Joint damage is visible on x-ray
• Episodes of pain, swelling, and stiffness in the knee are prevalent
• Persistent pain and disability interfere with daily life activities
• Pain is not relieved by nonsurgical alternatives
• Mobility is extremely limited

Your surgeon will consider your shape and specific anatomy in determining whether the Zimmer Gender Solutions Knee or a traditional knee implant will fit you most optimally.
