What do I need to know about this lawsuit?
A concerning situation has arisen regarding certain medical implant devices, particularly hip, knee, and ankle replacements. Specifically, there have been recalls initiated due to issues with polyethylene plastic inserts within these devices, designed to prevent components from rubbing against each other. Notably, devices like the Exactech Connexion GXL Hip Implant Liners, Exactech Total Knee Replacement (TKR) Optetrack, Optetrack Logic, Truliant, and Exactech Total Ankle Replacement (TAK) Vantage are among those recalled.
The current lawsuit stems from the failure of these Exactech implant devices, particularly the Exactech Connexion GXL Hip Implant Liners, due to premature wear and edge-loading issues. Such failures pose significant risks to patients, including osteolysis, limited mobility, and device loosening, often necessitating corrective surgery. Adverse event reports to the FDA and a study in Arthroplasty Today have highlighted the high rate of early device failure, occurring within five years post-surgery, and the subsequent need for revision surgery, emphasizing the severity of the situation.
