Each year more than 6 million people consult with an orthopedic surgeon for treatment of knee problems. An estimated 300,000 patients nationwide receive replacement knees each year. The majority of individuals have their knee replaced because physical therapy or medications cannot ease the pain and dysfunction of the impaired knee. Surgery usually involves removing an arthritic section from the bone end and substituting a metal and plastic knee that is cemented to the remaining bone. The success of this surgery is highly-dependent on the medical device used to replace the knee. Unfortunately, the Smith & Nephew knee replacement system has been recalled because it fails to properly bond and becomes loose, putting the patient at risk for corrective surgery, reinfection, joint and muscular damage and a painful rehabilitation process.

While medical technology has helped relieve the suffering of many people, the Institute of Medicine estimates that almost 1.3 million Americans are injured or die as the result of faulty medical products. Brown & Crouppen represents the injured victims and families of those who have died because the makers and suppliers of medical devices failed in the design, marketing promises, or the manufacturing of their products. If you experienced any problems after receiving a Smith & Nephew knee replacement, it is important that you immediately contact a qualified personal injury attorney who is familiar with product liability claims and the tactics of corporations and insurance companies.
