Exactech Hip Replacement Lawsuit
Exactech Implant Lawsuits are ongoing and lawyers across the country are gathering clients.
Exactech Lawsuits are being considered for consolidation, centralizing all cases alleging injuries from defective implants into one district court. This legal strategy is called multidistrict litigation (MDL). The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) met in St. Louis to discuss consolidating Exactech lawsuits on October 5th.
Exactech supports consolidation, but the choice of the particular district court and judge are still up in the air. The Exactech MDL will be categorized as MDL 3044.
Visit this page for more updates on the Exactech Lawsuit as they become available.
Lawyers across the country are still gathering clients for Exactech Implant Lawsuits.
Last month, Exactech expanded its Hip Replacement recall, recalling an additional 40,000 devices. The expanded recall has been sent to all surgeons who have implanted either GXL liners or nonconforming conventional UHMWPE liners since 2004. The previous letter included only surgeons that had implanted Connexion GXL liners between 2015 and 2021.

We’re still awaiting further updates on the Exactech litigation.
In June 2022, a motion to consolidate 27 Exactech cases was presented to the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. The motion to centralize these cases in the U.S. District Court: Eastern District of New York is still up in the air.
Visit this page for more updates as they become available.
Lawyers are collecting information and talking to potential clients about their Exactech Implant Claims.
Doctors and surgeons who installed potentially dangerous Exactech Implant Devices are supposed to inform patients of the recall, but there is no way to know whether these medical professionals have followed through and notified those who are effected.
If you think you may have received an Exactech Implant Device, but have not been notified by your doctor, contact them immediately.
The Exactech Implant Lawsuit is ongoing.
More information will be available at a later date on subjects such as settlement amounts, potential for consolidation, and more.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced recalls in August 2021 on Exactech knee, hip, and ankle replacements that contained polyethylene parts.
Packaging errors on the device have been found to cause the oxidation of polyethylene parts:
Products included in the Exactech recall date back to as early as 2004.
Due to the sheer amount of implants included in the Exactech recall, coupled with the dangers these implants may pose, lawsuits are expected across the United States.
According to the Exactech recall notice, the recalled products include both various lines of knee and ankle replacements as well as hip implant components:
Contact your doctor with any questions about the Exactech recall.
Many patients do not know how the implant used for their knee replacement, ankle replacement, or hip replacement was produced.
Many patients also don’t know whether the implant had a potentially faulty insert or not.
We suggest asking your doctor or orthopedic surgeon for an updated copy of your medical records to determine the implant type and serial number.
From there, you can check the Exactech recall website to cross-reference your information with their recall documents.
Exactech is a global medical device company headquartered in Gainesville, Florida.
Exactech produces medical implants, instruments, and technologies related to joint replacement and joint replacement surgery.
In 2005, Exactech started packaging inserts in non-conforming bags with no secondary barrier of polyethylene vinyl alcohol.
Without enhanced oxygen resistance, the implants have the possibility of oxidation resulting in premature wear.
Exactech recalled their Connexion GXL hip replacement liner after a patient reported premature wear due to the oxidative damage.
The Exactech recall concerns the degradation and premature wear of polyethylene inserts that can result in various types of injuries, and can lead to the need for revision surgery to repair damaged bone and joints.
Certain polyethylene Exactech knee, ankle and hip replacements or liners may loosen or disintegrate in the body.
Symptoms of faulty joint replacements may include:
Corrective revision surgery is a replacement procedure of faulty implants in the knee, ankle, and hip.
Revision surgery can be physically and emotionally taxing on a patient.
To undergo one implant surgery is costly enough, but to undergo corrective revision surgery years afterward can add even more stress to a patient.
Revision surgeries can include:
Medical researchers have found that there is also some correlation between synovitis and polyethylene joint replacements.
Synovitis is a medical condition that involves inflammation of synovial tissue that runs through joint tissue.
The swelling can cause painful symptoms in the area of the knee.
If synovitis lasts a prolonged period of time, the joint may be permanently damaged.
Osteolysis is a progressive medical condition where bone tissue is destroyed.
There can be many causes of osteolysis
But, in terms of joint replacement surgery and implants (and particularly the recalled Exactech Implants) these medical devices can degrade – allowing bones and joints to rub against one another.
This causes your actual bones and joints to deteriorate and weaken over time.
You may be eligible to file a legal claim if you have an Exactech knee, ankle, or hip implant, or have suffered injuries related to a failed implant or their related defects.
Exactech is in the process of distributing letters to surgeons on the recalls as more information is coming out.
Surgeons are then expected to dutifully inform patients who have received Exactech Implants of the associated dangers.

Yes, you can file an Exactech Recall Lawsuit if you do not receive a letter.
Exactech’s recall letter is not issued to consumers or manufacturers.
Instead, individual surgeons have a responsibility to educate those affected by a recall from Exactech.
Generally speaking, people who have relocated or lost contact with a physician will continue to receive updates from their former medical professional.
If a doctor resigns from their position at a hospital, Exactech could fail to notify affected patients they have served.

The Civil Litigation Process is very time-consuming and requires keen attention to detail as well as extensive knowledge of legal jargon.
It can be overwhelming for those who are already having to deal with coping with complications and trauma from their injuries.
With the help of an experienced law firm, you should begin gathering evidence that will support your claim in court.
The amount of compensation that you may be awarded can fluctuate depending on your ability to provide evidence and prove the liability of another party for the injuries that you have suffered.
Furthermore, you will need to be able to demonstrate that you attempted to treat your injuries to the best of your ability.
Gathering evidence is a crucial step in building a strong case.
Evidence includes any documentation or records pertaining to your injuries and your defective medical devices.
Evidence may include:
Contact an attorney who is experienced in personal injury cases to gain personalized insight as to what evidence should be collected in order to build a strong case.
Mitigation is a critical element to any personal injury claim.
If you wait too long and the statute of limitations of your case expires, you may not be eligible to file a lawsuit or receive any compensation.
Proper steps to mitigation include:
Mitigation is a very important step in building a strong, honest claim.
Hip, knee and ankle replacements are relatively popular surgeries in the United States.
Certain medical issues like arthritis can cause the degradation of cartilage and cause immense pain.
Doctors will often recommend the insertion of implants or other medical devices to ease pain and help with the structural integrity of the joint.
Joint replacements can be needed for a variety of reasons.
The three (3) most common reasons people may need a joint replacement are:
The most common need for joint replacements stem from osteoarthritis, the most common type of arthritis.
Osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage in joints wears down over time, leading to symptoms including bone loss, trouble walking or changing position, and more.
Rheumatoid arthritis is another type of arthritis that often calls for surgeries like knee replacements, ankle replacements, and total hip replacements.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which the body mistakenly attacks its own joint tissue, and in late stages, renders joints inoperable and can affect other parts of the body.
Osteonecrosis is the disruption of blood flow to joints, often resulting in the death of bone tissue and the collapse of a joint.
Osteonecrosis can lead to arthritis and bone loss.
Hip, knee and ankle replacements are vital medical operations that can drastically improve somebody’s life if done correctly.
In the event that you or a loved one suffered injuries because of a faulty Exactech knee, ankle, or hip replacement, contact an attorney as soon as possible.
