Do You Have a Defective Exactech Joint Replacement?

Injuries Caused by Failed Exactech Devices
Exactech joint replacement devices can cause severe health complications if they fail. The type of injury or complication can depend on what type of Exactech device failed, such as an ankle, hip, or knee replacement device. Our attorneys are well-versed in medical product liability cases, so we can investigate and work on your claim, no matter what type of Exactech device you had surgically implanted.
Injuries caused by defective Exactech joint replacements can include:
- Accelerated bone loss
- Bone fractures or cracks
- Loose or migrating liners or inserts
- Chronic pain at the surgery site
Among all the cases of Exactech joint replacement device failures, most patients require revision surgery to correct the issue and/or replace the device. Revision surgery will always have its own risks, so all the risks that can happen in revision surgery apply to Exactech joint replacement failure risks, too.
