SMITH & NEPHEW JOURNEY KNEE RECALLS AND PROBLEMS

Knee Replacement Lawyers

Marc J. Bern & Partners and its professional team are investigating potential Smith & Nephew knee replacement lawsuits for individuals throughout the United States who have experienced problems that may have been caused by their artificial knee.

REVIEW A CASE

In January and March 2010, recalls for Smith & Nephew Journey Uni Tibial Baseplate knee implants were issued for approximately 40,000 defective devices after a number of reported problems suggested that the base plates may break.

A broken Smith & Nephew base plate could lead to instability and premature wear of the knee replacement, often requiring additional surgery to revise the knee replacement or change the base plate.

In February 2011, at an annual meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, a study was presented that found that 16% of the Smith & Nephew Journey-Deuce knee implants began failing after just 21 months, and 39% of those who received the implants reported poor results.

Individuals should expect that a knee replacement will last 10 to 20 years.  However, due to Smith & Nephew Journey knee problems, many individuals have experienced catastrophic failure of the tibial base-plate or other complications that may be due to design issues.
