Exactech knee, hip, and ankle joint replacements
Baskin Legal is investigating and taking claims involving recalled Exactech knee, hip, and ankle joint replacements for patients and families in Florida and Alabama. Exactech has acknowledged that many of its polyethylene liners and inserts were packaged in defective vacuum bags, which can let in oxygen and cause the plastic to break down and fail much earlier than expected.
What the Exactech cases involve
The federal MDL focuses on Exactech knee, hip, and ankle systems where the polyethylene components oxidized and wore out prematurely, leading to pain, loosening, instability, bone loss (osteolysis), and early revision surgery. Affected products include Exactech Optetrak, Optetrak Logic, Truliant knee systems, Vantage ankle, and certain Exactech hip liners that were subject to the company’s recall notices.
Signs and diagnoses we are looking for
You may have a potential Exactech claim if you had one of these Exactech joint replacements and later experienced:
- Increasing knee, hip, or ankle pain, stiffness, or instability after initial recovery
- Imaging or exam findings showing loosening, component wear, or osteolysis (bone loss around the implant)
- A recommendation for or performance of revision surgery to remove or replace Exactech components
- Clicking, grinding, or feeling like the joint is giving way, followed by a diagnosis of premature implant failure
For patients and families in Florida and Alabama
If you or a loved one in Florida or Alabama received an Exactech knee, hip, or ankle replacement and have since been told the implant is failing, or you have already had revision surgery, Baskin Legal can review your situation at no cost. You can contact the firm to speak directly with an attorney about whether your joint problems may be related to the Exactech recall and to learn about important deadlines that may affect your rights.
