Exactech

In early 2022, orthopedic surgeons throughout the United States were issued a knee replacement recall notice. The notice provided information regarding nearly 150,000 defective knee inserts given to patients starting in the year 2004 onward—the majority of Exactech knee implants sold in that timeframe. 

Defective polyethylene inserts used with Exactech knee replacements have been found to degrade prematurely, resulting in significantly higher rates of (estimated at 3 to 7 times higher than other total knee replacement systems) and resulting in patients needing revision surgery.

Patients who have suffered Exactech knee replacement failure report the following symptoms:

• New or worsening knee pain;
• Knee swelling;
• Knee grinding;
• Knee clicking;
• Knee stiffness;
• Pain while walking; and/or
• Knee instability.

Individuals who have had to get revision surgery after a knee or ankle replacement with an Exactech implant be entitled to significant compensation.
