About Exactech Joint Replacement Claims
In February 2022, Exactech expanded a recall of its joint replacement systems due to defective packaging of polyethylene inserts. The packaging failed to contain a secondary barrier layer that prevents oxygen from diffusing into the plastic insert, causing the plastic to degrade prematurely. This oxidation can lead to accelerated wear, bone loss, component fatigue, and premature joint replacement failure. The recall affects thousands of knee, ankle, and hip replacement systems implanted since 2004. Lawsuits allege that Exactech knew or should have known about these issues but failed to warn patients and surgeons about the risks.
