Watson Clinic Orthopedic Surgeons Using Breakthrough Knee Implant

Replacement Joint Tailored Specifically to Fit a Woman’s Anatomy
Watson Clinic orthopedic surgeons have recently begun utilizing a breakthrough in knee replacement technology specifically tailored to fit their female patients. The Zimmer Gender Solutions Knee is the first and only knee of its kind and can be implanted using less invasive techniques, which typically results in less scarring and faster recovery.

“Female and male joints differ significantly, which has made the prospect of total knee replacements in females somewhat of a concern in the past,” says Phuc Vo, MD, spokesperson for Watson Clinic’s orthopedic surgery/sports medicine department.    “Now, with this new tool, our surgeons can offer their female patients a knee that is in perfect harmony with their anatomy.”

According to the National Center for Health Statistics, more than two-thirds of the more than 400,000 annual knee replacements are women.  Yet, women are three times less likely to undergo the procedure.  This results in substantial pain and risk of disability.

“This new joint allows for a more precise fit and greater flexibility,” continues Dr. Vo. “The procedure is more effective, swift and free of intense discomfort than it’s ever been before.”
Watson Clinic’s orthopedic surgery team consists of the following physicians: Glen A. Barden, MD, Prashant J. Desai, DO, Peter Kazmier, MD, Ann L. Licht, MD, Anne M. Meo, DO, Douglas A. Shenkman, MD, Russell C. Sklenicka, MD, Phuc Vo, MD and Marc A. Volpe, MD. The orthopedic department is located at 1600 Lakeland Hills Boulevard in Lakeland.   To schedule a consultation with a Watson Clinic orthopedic surgeon, please call 863-680-7214.
