Today, Zimmer Holdings’ prestige lies in the hands of Zimmer NexGen CR-Flex Porous Femoral device. Even though there is no discussion made publicly about Knee Replacement Recall if evidences will keep coming, the least that one can do is to create one. It has been brought to people’s attention about Dr. Berger’s revelation on the implanted knee-replacement device from Zimmer products. Dr. Berger is the former consultant who gets pay about $8 million from Zimmer. In return, Dr. Berger became part of Zimmer as their consultant and design-maker for surgical tools and artificial joints for the company. He also conducts trainings to orthopedic surgeons for minimal invasive techniques in implanting Zimmer NexGen CR-Flex device in behalf of Zimmer Holdings, Inc.

He has been connected to Zimmer Holdings for almost four years. Three years after handling Zimmer non-cemented type of knee-replacement design, he began to report to Zimmer what he found out to his Zimmer NexGen CR-Flex patients. His complaints were investigated by Zimmer Company itself which associates his findings to his surgical technique rather than pointing the product’s defectiveness. Zimmer boasted their high success in Australia as their counter reply to his findings.

Dr. Berger ceased Zimmer in silence in the year 2007 instead of denouncing the company in public. He found new buddy from Rush University Medical Center of Chicago. From there they supervised a research study on Zimmer products and its defects more particularly on the non-cemented version. Such kind of knee-replacement model bonds the knee to the thigh bone through natural in growth. He brought his final findings to the American Association of Orthopedic Surgeons after three years. He revealed that there are 9% of failure rate observed among the tested patients. The failure rates are higher that the accepted rate of the industry. Litigation is one way to crop the potential increase of complains. It is still best to see a Zimmer NexGen lawyer today to prepare yourself from defending your rights.
