Gender Solutions® Patello-Femoral Joint System

Product catalog summary

Overview: The Gender Solutions Patello-Femoral Joint System brochure outlines the benefits and features of a specialized implant system designed to address anatomical differences between men and women in patello-femoral arthroplasty (PFA). The system aims to improve surgical outcomes and patient recovery.

Key Features:

Increased Trochlear Groove Angle: This feature is particularly beneficial for female patients, who often have an increased Q-angle, dysplasia, and patellar subluxation.
Proprietary Guided Milling System: This system simplifies the surgical process by referencing native cartilage for accurate varus/valgus placement, reducing the risk of impingement.
Modified, Thinner Anterior Flange: Designed to prevent overstuffing and accommodate the unique anatomical needs of women, particularly in terms of condyle height.

Benefits of PFA:

Preservation of bone and natural motion.
Shorter hospital stays and fewer complications compared to total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
Better knee kinematics and functionality, less blood loss, and quicker return to activity.

Clinical Evidence: The brochure references multiple studies that highlight the advantages of PFA over TKA, including improved postoperative rehabilitation and knee kinematics.

Usage and Distribution: The material is intended for healthcare professionals and Zimmer Biomet sales force, with restrictions on redistribution and duplication.

References: The document cites various studies and clinical results to support the claims made about the system's effectiveness and benefits.
