Zimmer, Inc. issued a recall of its Persona Trabecular Metal Tibial Plate used for knee replacement, all lots and sizes (sizes C-J left and right). The reason for the recall was loosening and radiolucent lines.
Our law firm’s Knee Litigation Team is providing free consultations to people who had this product implanted and want to know if they have a lawsuit. Attorneys Fred Pritzker and David Szerlag (of Counsel) recently won $45 million for clients injured by another medical product manufactured by another company, and they are now helping people harmed by this product. With offices in Minnesota, Fred and David represent patients nationwide in cases involving recalled medical products.
A loosened joint implant can cause severe pain and may need to be removed and replaced in a procedure called revision surgery. Radiolucent lines can be an indication that an implant is loosening. These can appear at the implant-bone interface.
Zimmer sent Urgent Medical Device Recall notices to affected distributors, hospitals, and surgeons. You, as a patient, may not have been notified. In fact, you may not know if this product was used for your knee replacement.
