Knee Replacement Injuries
Each year, around 800,000 knee replacement surgeries are performed in the U.S., and that number continues to rise. Unfortunately, much like with hip replacements, people who undergo knee replacement procedures face the potential risk of severe complications if their implants fail.
If you’ve experienced complications after receiving a knee implant, you are not alone. Defective knee implants can cause serious harm, leading to painful revision surgeries, disability, and long-term health issues.
At Ferrer Poirot Feller, our defective product attorneys understand the toll a faulty knee implant can take on your life, and we are here to help you get the compensation you deserve. If you or a loved one has suffered from a defective knee implant, fill out the form today for a free case evaluation and take the first step toward justice.
Signs and Symptoms of Knee Implant Failure
Knee implant failure can lead to debilitating pain and complications. Knowing the signs and symptoms can help you act quickly if your knee replacement isn’t performing as it should.
Common signs of knee implant failure include:
- Audible clicking or grinding noises during movement
- Decreased range of motion
- Difficulty standing or walking
- Infection at the site of the implant
- Instability
- Loosening or shifting of the implant
- Persistent or worsening pain in the knee joint
- Swelling, redness, or warmth around the knee
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, you may be suffering from a defective knee implant. Contact us immediately to discuss your options and begin building your case.
Types of Damages Injured Victims May Receive
When a knee implant fails, it can lead to significant medical costs, physical pain, and emotional suffering. Victims may be entitled to several types of compensation, including:
- Medical Expenses: Costs associated with corrective surgeries, hospital stays, physical therapy, medication, and follow-up care
- Lost Wages: Compensation for any income lost due to time off work for treatment and recovery
- Pain and Suffering: Damages for the physical pain and emotional distress caused by the faulty implant
- Future Medical Costs: Anticipated expenses for ongoing medical care, rehabilitation, and potential future surgeries
