Hip & knee implant litigation
Lawsuits allege that certain hip and knee replacement systems fail years ahead of their expected life, shedding metal debris or loosening and forcing painful revision surgery.

What the lawsuits allege
Joint replacements are supposed to last fifteen to twenty years. The litigation alleges that specific designs, including metal-on-metal hip systems and certain knee systems with cement-bonding problems, failed early at rates the manufacturers understood and understated.
Claims have been brought against multiple manufacturers, including DePuy, Stryker, Zimmer Biomet, Smith & Nephew, and Exactech.
Injuries named in the litigation
- Early implant failure or loosening
- Metallosis (metal poisoning) from metal-on-metal hips
- Bone loss (osteolysis) and fracture around the implant
- Chronic pain and instability
- Revision and replacement surgery
