zim_gender_orthogateOn Thursday, September 14, at 6:30 p.m. EDT, Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia, PA will broadcast a live total knee replacement procedure on www.OR-Live.com featuring the Zimmer Gender Solutions High-Flex Knee, the first knee replacement shaped to fit a woman's anatomy.

When placing traditional implants, some surgeons accommodate women's differences by removing more bone or repositioning the implant during surgery, but their ability to make the implant precisely conform to the patient is limited. The Gender Solutions High-Flex Implant was designed so the surgeon can more closely match the female patient's knee anatomy.

Robert E. Booth, Jr., M.D., Chief of Orthopaedic Surgery at Pennsylvania Hospital, Philadelphia, PA, will perform the surgery. The webcast will be moderated by Giles R. Scuderi, M.D., Director, Insall Scott Kelly Institute, and Assistant Clinical Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York, NY.
