Knee implants are intended to provide patients with normal knee function for a long period of time. The NexGen knee implants have instead failed prematurely and created substantial physical challenges for the individuals who received them. If you or a loved one has experienced complications associated with a Zimmer NexGen knee implant, please do not hesitate to contact our personal injury lawyers in Miami today – and let us help you recover the compensation you deserve for your medical bills, pain and suffering, and other damages.
The largest knee implant manufacturer in the world, the Zimmer Manufacturing Company has sold more than 3 million of its NexGen knee replacements since the device was introduced in 1995. Then, in 2001, the company introduced the High Flex versions of the NexGen, which were intended to provide patients with an even greater range of motion while renewing their quality of life.
Unfortunately, the High Flex versions weren’t as promising as the manufacturer had hoped, and they are now faced with over 1,000 lawsuits alleging substantial problems with the devices. Many of these complaints state that they led to pain, loosening, and premature failure – all of which require a complex revision surgery to remove and replace the defective implants.
