Defective Knee Replacement Implant Lawsuits
Understanding the Exactech Knee Recall
Every year, thousands of individuals undergo total knee replacement surgery, hoping to regain mobility and alleviate chronic pain. For many, these surgeries are successful, allowing them to return to active lives. However, for some patients, the outcome is not as expected. Between 2004 and 2022, knee implant manufacturer Exactech faced mounting concerns as their Optetrak and Truliant knee replacement systems came under scrutiny for design flaws and premature failure.
In September 2023, Exactech issued a recall on tens of thousands of defective knee implants, acknowledging serious complications that included bone loss, instability, chronic pain, and the need for revision surgeries. The recall sent shockwaves through the medical community, leaving patients who had already received these implants in a state of uncertainty and fear.
