Morgan and Morgan is pleased to announce that attorney Michael Goetz will be speaking at an upcoming Orthopedic Litigation Conference titled “DePuy and Zimmer Implant Updates – Plaintiffs Only.” The conference is presented by HB Litigation Conferences and will take place on Jan. 19 at the Hilton Palm Beach Airport hotel in West Palm Beach.
The conference will feature leading
plaintiffs’ attorneys and specialists who will discuss the medical and legal aspects pertaining to the DePuy ASR XL Acetabular Hip System, the DePuy ASR Hip Resurfacing System and the Zimmer NexGen CR-Flex knee replacements. Mr. Goetz will be one of three attorneys scheduled to speak during a conference segment titled “Other Emerging Orthopedic Devices.” Topics to be covered in this segment will include which orthopedic devices may be the subject of future litigation and steps plaintiffs’ attorneys can take to prepare for these potential cases. For more information on the DePuy and Zimmer Implant Updates Conference, including a complete conference agenda, please visit http://litigationconferences.com/.
Both the Zimmer NexGen CR-Flex knee implant and the DePuy ASR hip replacement systems have received attention in recent months from legal and medical professionals alike. In August 2010, a DePuy
hip replacement recall was issued after data revealed that more patients than expected who were implanted with the DePuy ASR XL Acetabular Hip System and the ASR Hip Resurfacing System required revision surgery within five years of the initial procedure. Although Zimmer has not issued a recall of its NexGen CR-Flex knee implant, several surgeons have requested that such an action be taken, as the knee replacements have been associated with a high failure rate.
Mr. Goetz handles mass tort actions for Morgan and Morgan, including product liability claims involving dangerous pharmaceutical drugs and medical devices, such as the DePuy ASR hip implants and the
Zimmer NexGen CR-Flex.
