On August 9, 2011 Chaffin Luhana LLP announced the launch of www.ZimmerKnee-Lawsuit.com - a website regarding the Zimmer knee replacement system. The overall purpose of the site is to provide information to victims of the Zimmer NexGen knee replacement system, and to assist individuals with finding a Zimmer knee lawyer to help with a potential Zimmer knee lawsuit.
As reported in the New York Times, Dr. Richard A. Berger, a distinguished orthopedic surgeon, was one of the first doctors to become quite familiar with Zimmer, Inc.’s NexGen CR-Flex knee replacement system. Dr. Berger performed about 125 Zimmer knee replacement surgeries in 2005, but in 2006 patients began to complain of pain in the knee joint. Resulting X-rays showed lines where the Zimmer knee replacement met the thighbone – a sign of incomplete fusion between the implant and the thighbone. As a result, Dr. Berger performed a study, which allegedly showed that 8.3% of the Zimmer NexGen CR-Flex implants were failing earlier than they should have in some 100 patients who were studied. Additionally, Dr. Berger found that signs of the implant loosening appeared in 36% of patients. After the study’s release, Dr. Berger and other prominent orthopedic surgeons suggested that Zimmer, Inc. recall the medical device.
Chaffin Luhana LLP has secured nearly $100 million in client settlements in 2010 alone by representing individuals across the United States in federal and state courts. Chaffin Luhana LLP has successfully represented plaintiffs adversely affected by defective devices, medical malpractice, and pharmaceutical drugs in mass tort, securities and whistleblower cases. These successes come as a result of a combination of legal experience including Eric Chaffin’s position as federal prosecutor for the state of New York and Roopal Luhana’s appointed position as officiate in mass tort cases.
Zimmer, Inc. could potentially be found both legally and financially responsible for manufacturing and selling a defective product to patients.
