ZIMMER Biomet NexGen Cemented Total Knee Replacement

Preparation

Before surgery, each patient undergoes an individual qualification process and surgical planning.

The assessment includes an orthopaedic consultation and a detailed review of diagnostic imaging studies.

The qualification process takes into consideration:

• knee anatomy,
• bone quality,
• activity level,
• extent of degenerative changes,
• age,
• overall health condition,
• expectations regarding postoperative mobility and daily function.

The choice of implant and fixation method is always determined individually, taking into account the patient’s anatomy, bone quality, lifestyle, and clinical needs.

Recovery after ZIMMER Biomet NexGen cemented total knee replacement includes rehabilitation and the gradual restoration of knee joint function.

A well-structured rehabilitation programme is a crucial part of treatment and significantly influences movement quality and overall outcomes.

The rehabilitation plan is always tailored individually to each patient’s needs and may depend on:

• severity of joint degeneration before surgery,
• overall health condition,
• postoperative progress,
• mobility level,
• muscle strength,
• individual functional goals.

Precautions

The same implant is not suitable for every patient.

Modern knee replacement surgery is based on individualized implant selection and appropriate choice of fixation method.

Important factors assessed before surgery include:

• knee anatomy,
• bone quality,
• activity level,
• extent of degenerative changes,
• diagnostic imaging results,
• overall health condition,
• expectations regarding postoperative mobility and daily function.

Treatment outcomes depend on the severity of joint degeneration, the rehabilitation process, and the patient’s overall health condition.

What is the NexGen Knee replacement system?

The ZIMMER Biomet NexGen Knee system is a well-established total knee replacement solution used in orthopaedic surgery worldwide.

Total knee replacement involves replacing damaged joint surfaces with an implant individually selected to match the patient’s anatomy and functional needs.

The system is commonly used in the treatment of advanced osteoarthritis and conditions that significantly limit mobility and everyday comfort.

What does cemented fixation mean?

With a cemented knee replacement, the implant is secured to the bone using specialised bone cement.

This fixation method may support stable implant fixation, predictable long-term stability, suitability for a wide range of patients, and durable treatment results in appropriately selected cases.

The choice of fixation method is determined individually during surgical planning.

What makes the ZIMMER Biomet NexGen Knee system unique?

The NexGen Knee system is recognised for its long-standing clinical experience and extensive use in orthopaedic practice worldwide.

The implant was designed to support knee joint stability, long-term durability, restoration of knee function, and adaptation to different patient anatomies and needs.

Why is long-term clinical experience important?

In orthopaedic surgery, the clinical track record of an implant system is an important factor when evaluating treatment reliability and predictability.

For patients, this means access to a solution that has been used for many years in knee replacement procedures at orthopaedic centres around the world.

What results can be expected after treatment?

In appropriately qualified patients, knee replacement surgery may support improved knee joint function, greater comfort during everyday activities, reduced pain, enhanced joint stability, and a return to daily activities tailored to the patient’s individual capabilities.

Treatment outcomes depend on the severity of joint degeneration, the rehabilitation process, and the patient’s overall health condition.

Is the same implant suitable for every patient?

No. Modern knee replacement surgery is based on individualized implant selection and fixation methods.

The qualification process takes into consideration knee anatomy, bone quality, activity level, extent of degenerative changes, and expectations regarding postoperative mobility and daily function.

Can the knee function similarly to a natural joint after surgery?

The objective of knee replacement surgery is to restore joint function as closely as possible while improving comfort during movement.

For many patients, this may translate into greater independence, improved mobility, and a better quality of life previously limited by pain and restricted knee motion.

What does recovery look like after surgery?

Recovery includes rehabilitation and the gradual restoration of knee joint function.

A well-structured rehabilitation programme is a crucial part of treatment and significantly influences movement quality and overall outcomes.
