Defective packaging errors have been found to cause oxidation of polyethylene insert components.
Oxidation of these polyethylene inserts can lead to their degradation in the body, potentially exposing patients to numerous adverse health effects and calling for the need of corrective revision surgery.
Joint replacements can be needed for a variety of reasons.
The three (3) most common reasons people may need a joint replacement are:
1. Osteoarthritis
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.
2. Rheumatoid Arthritis
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.
3. Osteonecrosis
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.
The Exactech Lawsuit is ongoing, and our Exactech Lawyers are still accepting claims from injured patients in all 50 states.

What is the Exactech Implant Recall?
Certain Exactech knee implants may contain packaging defects that cause polyethylene cr tibial components to degrade within the body.
Polyethylene is a commonly used material in medical devices due to its biocompatibility, flexibility, and low cost.
The oxidation of polyethylene (PE) parts in medical devices can have several effects and dangers, putting patients at an increased risk for serious health problems.
Exactech Lawsuits have been filed by injured patients against the medical device manufacturer.
If you or a loved one received an Exactech implant during knee replacement surgery and were subsequently injured, you may be eligible to file an Exactech Lawsuit and pursue financial compensation.

To find out if your knee replacement is included in the recall, contact your doctor or orthopedic surgeon for detailed medical records.
Exactech Implant Recall Lawsuits Consolidated Into Multidistrict Litigation (MDL)
Exactech Recall Lawsuits have been consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL) in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
When a large number of people have all been effected by the same thing, the federal court system allows for the creation of a multidistrict litigation (MDL) to speed-up the litigation process, make consistent decisions, and cut costs for both plaintiffs and defendants.
The Exactech MDL was created to manage the mass amount of Exactech Implant Recall Lawsuits filed by injured patients across the country.
As of July 2023, nearly 400 Exactech Lawsuits are consolidated into the Exactech MDL.
Injuries or symptoms related to faulty joint replacements can range from minor to serious, typically progressing in severity over time.
While people with defective knee implants may feel most pain in their affected knee, they can also experience pain, swelling, and instability in other joints.
Patients with faulty knee implants could experience other complications apart from pain and fatigue.
Conditions like arthritis onset by wear-and tear on bones, osteoarthritis, osteolysis, synovitis, and more are possible when dealing with a defective or degrading knee implant device.
Injuries or symptoms associated with faulty knee implant devices include:
Pain and swelling near implants and joints
Extreme discomfort near affected joints
Grinding, clicking, and other foreign noises near an affected joint
Difficulty when walking, standing up, or lying down
Instability and soreness
Inability to bear weight of own body
What Is Corrective Revision Surgery?
Corrective revision surgery may be necessary in the case an Exactech knee implant needs to be removed.
Revision surgery concerns the removal of a defective knee implant, and replacing it with a structurally sound alternative.
Corrective surgery can be extremely difficult for patients.
To have one surgery completed and end up harming you is one thing, but to have to undergo corrective revision surgery years later to fix the issue can be extremely hard on one’s body and mind.
As you determine what course of action is right for you in fixing the potential issues with your knee implant, ask an experienced medical professional what exactly corrective revision surgery entails.
The Dangers of Exactech Knee Implant Failure
Premature wear and degradation of Exactech knee implants and tibial inserts manufactured by the company are linked to severe injuries.
Exactech Recall Lawsuits are being filed on behalf of injured patients.
The injuries associated with recalled Exactech knee replacement systems are often difficult to manage and can severely impact a patient’s quality of life.
What Medical Problems Are Linked To Faulty Exactech Knee Implants?
Defective Exactech knee implants and knee implant components, which can degrade and give way, may also lead to various health conditions and adverse health effects.
The following two (2) health conditions have been linked to faulty Exactech Knee Implants:
1. Synovitis
A correlation between synovitis and polyethylene joint replacements has been found by researchers.
Synovium is the thin membrane lining around joints.
Synovitis, simply put, is tissue inflammation that can cause severe pain areas around joints, and can lead to permanent damage if left untreated.
2. Osteolysis
Osteolysis is a progressive medical condition that causes bone tissue to be destroyed.
Osteolysis is a condition that patients with Exactech implants may be susceptible to if the device degrades, and a federal lawsuit filed against the company in mid-February alleges that a patient suffered from the condition because of their Exactech hip implant.
Other Injuries and Symptoms of Defective Exactech Implants
Several other serious injuries, side effects, and symptoms have been experienced by patients implanted with defective Exactech knee replacement devices.
These injuries and symptoms include:
Bone loss
Bone degradation
Inability to bear weight
Severe pain
New or worsening pain
Swelling near implants
Projected Settlements for Exactech Hip, Knee And Ankle Replacements
At this point, detailed information on the average Exactech settlement remains limited.
However, our team of Exactech Lawyers has been meticulously examining the cases and can provide some estimations based on available data.
On average, Exactech settlements are projected to fall within the range of $50,000 to $300,000.
These estimations are by no means a guarantee of compensation in the Exactech Knee Replacement Lawsuit.
The final settlement amount will be determined by various factors unique to your case, such as the extent of damages suffered and the severity of complications caused by the implanted device.
As the lawsuit progresses and more information becomes available, these estimates may be refined further.
It’s important to remember that each case is distinct, and the compensation awarded will be tailored to the individual circumstances and losses experienced by the plaintiff.
To navigate the complexities of an Exactech Lawsuit and ensure your rights are protected, seeking guidance from an experienced Exactech Lawyer is crucial.
They can provide personalized insights and fight for the maximum compensation you deserve in your pursuit of justice.
