Serious Complications Linked to Defective Joint Implants

Joint replacement surgery is intended to relieve pain and restore mobility, but for thousands of patients implanted with Exactech hip, knee, or ankle devices, the surgery led to serious and unexpected complications. Reports of premature device failure, severe pain, mobility issues, and the need for revision surgery have prompted significant recalls and widespread litigation against Exactech. At BBB Attorneys, we understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll these complications take on patients and their families, and we are committed to helping affected individuals throughout Connecticut pursue accountability and compensation from the manufacturer responsible.


The Exactech lawsuits allege that the company manufactured and distributed defective implants that failed prematurely, causing patients to suffer pain, mobility limitations, and the need for additional surgeries. Plaintiffs claim that Exactech knew or should have known about the risks associated with their products, particularly involving the polyethylene inserts used in many devices, but failed to adequately warn patients and healthcare providers. Thousands of lawsuits have been filed, and the litigation continues to grow as more patients come forward with complications. If you or a loved one suffered complications after receiving an Exactech implant, BBB Attorneys is prepared to help you understand your legal options and pursue the compensation you deserve.

How Did Exactech Implant Complications Happen?

The claims involving Exactech implants center on allegations that the devices are defectively designed or packaged and prone to premature failure after implantation. Many patients received these implants with the expectation of long-lasting joint replacements, only to face severe pain, mobility issues, and the need for revision surgery much sooner than expected. Lawsuits allege that the polyethylene components used in many Exactech devices were packaged in defective bags that allowed oxidation to occur, weakening the materials and contributing to early failure. Exactech is accused of failing to warn patients and surgeons about these risks.


Some of the most common complications linked to Exactech implants include:

  • Premature device failure
  • Severe joint pain and inflammation
  • Loss of mobility
  • Bone loss and damage
  • Loosening or instability of the implant
  • Dislocation of the joint
  • Fractures around the implant
  • Need for revision surgery

Exactech implant complications can have lasting consequences for patients, often requiring revision surgery, prolonged medical treatment, and ongoing pain management. Patients may suffer chronic discomfort, mobility limitations, significant medical expenses, lost wages, and lasting effects on quality of life. Revision surgery is generally more complicated and risky than the original procedure, with longer recovery times and increased potential for additional complications. Even after revision, some patients continue to experience long-term symptoms and reduced mobility. BBB Attorneys understands the seriousness of these injuries and is committed to helping affected patients pursue compensation for medical treatment, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages caused by defective Exactech implants.
