Abstract
Aging boomers and younger patients requiring total knee arthroplasty demand and/or expect better function, improved durability, and a quicker recovery. In response to this demand, surgeons are modifying surgical techniques, and industry is examining implant design. One proposal is the gender-specific implant, but the development of separate systems for men and women may prove to be unnecessary.
