Dr Duke does have a great reputation. I have had Dr Kerina do both of my total knee replacements and he, too, is great. They are the two best knee docs around, IMO, and each do 300+ knee replacements a year.
As to the Zimmer...can't address that specifically. Dr Kerina's method is to have a number of different prostheses in the OR and then he decides which is best for you once he opens up the knee, assesses your structure, condition, and factors in your age and lifestyle. These are my words not his so hope I am accurately reflecting his philosophy.
The doc knows a lot more about knees than I do, so I trust his judgement on what would work best.
