Exactech Ankle, Hip & Knee Replacement Lawsuit

When you work with Simmons Hanly Conroy, your lawyers and legal team can handle every step of the legal process for you — at no out-of-pocket costs.

Generally speaking, your legal team may:

• Review the details of your case to see if you’re able to take legal action
• Collect all of the evidence and testimony needed for your case
• File an Exactech recall lawsuit on your behalf
• Negotiate an Exactech settlement with the defendant
• Argue your case in court before a judge and jury if a settlement isn’t reached

The Exactech recall started in August 2021, when the company announced an issue with the packaging of their ankle and knee replacement devices. The vacuum bags containing the devices lacked a second barrier layer with ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH), which helps to provide oxygen resistance.

Over time, exposure to oxygen can cause the implant material to wear down and potentially break, causing bone loss, pain and other injuries.

In addition to the recalled ankle and knee replacements, Exactech has also recalled their Connexion GXL acetabular polyethylene liners, a key part of their orthopedic hip replacements. These liners can also break down prematurely and cause injuries.

You may be eligible to file a defective hip replacement lawsuit against Exactech if you have one of the implants listed above and are suffering side effects.

These health problems are often so severe that revision surgery is needed to correct the issue — but revision surgery comes with risks of its own.

Not only can revision surgery cost thousands, this kind of invasive surgery can cause infection, nerve damage and more. Recovery may take months and require physical therapy, even in the best cases.

You didn’t deserve this — but you may have legal options to hold Exactech accountable for your injuries and help cover the costs of lost wages and medical expenses.
