Failure or complications of knee replacement implants
Knee replacement surgery has become big business, which means tremendous profit for biomedical companies that manufacture artificial knee joints. However, the Zimmer NexGen brand of knee replacement systems has had a high rate of failure and complications. Many patients have required revision within just a year or two. Many more have suffered from painful and debilitating effects when the implant surgery didn't take or the mechanism went bad.
Zimmer NexGen has recalled many of its knee replacement implants. This means that the company will pay for a new knee joint. However, you may be entitled to additional compensation for the costs of surgery and rehab, for any lasting disability, for any lost income and for your pain and suffering. Our attorneys can help you demand full and fair compensation.
