Ecactech Recall

 

On August 31, 2021 Exactech recalled 147,732 knee replacements already implanted into patients’ bodies. According to Exactech’s letter to surgeons, the plastic in the tibia component is wearing out and degrading much faster than expected. This plastic component acts as cartilage, or a cushion, between the metal components of the new knee joint.


The recalled Exactech Knee replacements include:  


  • OPTETRAK Comprehensive Knee System 
  • TRULIANT Knee System


The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) classifies this as a “Class 2” recall because the plastic in the knee replacement can cause temporary or medically reversible health problems. In some cases, a patient may need revision knee surgery to reverse the health damage. mctlaw represents clients filing lawsuits against Exactech for these defective knee implants. A recall for Exactech’s GXL hip replacements was issued, as well.
