Did you receive an Exactech knee or ankle replacement system?

What Is the Exactech Knee Replacement System Recall?

Exactech, a global manufacturer of medical devices and surgical implants, announced a major recall of several brands of its knee and ankle arthroplasty polyethylene inserts. These inserts are estimated to have been used in over 100,000 knee and ankle replacement procedures. Recalled insert systems include:

  • OPTETRAK
  • OPTETRAK Logic
  • TRULIANT
  • VANTAGE
The recall was issued after Exactech discovered that insert systems, beginning in 2004, were packaged in defective vacuum-sealed bags that allowed oxygen to reach the polyethylene inserts. This caused the inserts to suffer from oxidation, which can lead to premature wear and tear of the inserts.

Complications from a Defective Knee Replacement

Because recalled Exactech knee and ankle replacement systems are at risk of the implants experiencing accelerated degradation, patients who received these implants may experience complications such as:
  • Chronic pain
  • Swelling
  • Feeling a grinding sensation or hearing a grinding or clicking noise in the replaced joint
  • Instability of the replaced joint
  • Inability to place weight on the replaced joint
  • Reduced range of motion

What Should You Do If You Have a Recalled Exactech Knee Replacement System?

Patients who have received a recalled implant will need to undergo close monitoring for signs of potential failure of the implant. If the implant is confirmed to have failed, the patient will need to undergo revision surgery, which involves the removal and replacement of the failed implant. Revision surgery prior to confirmed failure of the implant or intolerable symptoms is not advised due to the potential complications that can arise from joint replacement surgery and the extensive recovery period needed for such a procedure.

California Hair Relaxer Cancer Lawsuit Attorney Answers Frequently Asked Questions about Hair Relaxer Lawsuits in California

If you have a legal claim after being implanted with a recalled Exactech knee replacement system, you may be entitled to recover compensation for ongoing and future expenses and losses, including medical expenses such as revision surgery, lost wages, or income if you miss time from work due to physical disability or recovery from future surgeries, physical pain and suffering, and lost enjoyment and quality of life due to physical impairment.

 
If you have a defective knee replacement system claim, Florida’s statute of limitations typically gives you four years from the date that you were injured by the defective device or four years from the date that you discover or should have discovered that you were harmed by a defective product or device. In addition, the statute of repose on defective product claims requires that any lawsuit be filed within 12 years of the date of the product’s purchase, regardless of when you discovered your injury. Filing a lawsuit after the statute of limitations or statute of repose has expired on your defective knee replacement claim means that your case can be dismissed as untimely filed and you can lose your opportunity to recover compensation for the harm and loss you suffered due to a defective or recalled replacement knee implant.
