Knee Replacement for Women White Plains, New York

Men and women are different. So are their muscular skeletal systems. And even though it may be obvious, only until recently has the medical world addressed those differences by creating replacement knee solutions that account for these physical differences. At Lawrence Hospital Center Orthopedics & Sports Medicine near White Plains, New York they offer gender knee replacement surgery.

Gender Knee replacements account for the differences between a woman's and a man's knee. Today expert orthopedic surgeons, such as Lawrence Hospital Center, can match the shape and size of a women's knee, providing a better fit, higher flexion, and more natural movement.

The bone in the front of a woman's knee is typically less prominent than in a man's. Traditional implants have a thickness in front that may end up making them feel "bulky," which may result in pain and a decrease in range of motion. Women Specific Gender Knees have a contoured shape to more closely match the narrower anatomy of a woman's knee. This contouring provides for a more precise fit and may prevent the implant from overhanging the bone and potentially pressing on or damaging surrounding ligaments or tendons.
