The product liability attorneys at Morgan and Morgan are available to review claims of Zimmer knee implant complications, which may include knee pain, loosening of the knee replacement or knee implant failure. New research indicates that the failure rate of the Zimmer NexGen knee implants may be as high as 9% and the actual number of Zimmer knee replacement problems which necessitate a revision surgery could be even higher.

At an annual conference for the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, two surgeons claimed that the Zimmer knee implant’s design problems led to a higher-than-expected rate of implant loosening, which often necessitated corrective surgery. The surgeons reviewed the results of a two-year study of 108 patients who were implanted with the Zimmer NexGen knee replacements. This study revealed that 9% of patients required corrective surgery and 36% showed signs of knee implant loosening. Symptoms of a
loose Zimmer knee implant may include knee stiffness, difficulty walking, knee pain, limping, decreased joint motion, and difficulty putting weight on the knee.
Most knee implants are designed to last up to 15 years, but studies show that the Zimmer NexGen CR-Flex may fail within three years or less. One doctor who authored the study of Zimmer knee implants has called the product’s failure rate “horrific” and several surgeons have requested that a Zimmer
knee implant recall be issued. While the knee replacements have not yet been withdrawn from the market, the attorneys at Morgan and Morgan are interested in hearing from those who have experienced Zimmer knee replacement problems. If you suffered unexplained knee pain, experienced loosening of the knee replacement or needed surgery to correct a failing Zimmer knee implant, visit http://www.forthepeople.com/zimmer-knee-replacement---11-2671.html and complete the Free Case Review form for a no-cost evaluation of your claim.
