exactech medical Hip Knee and Ankle recall
“Do no harm.” That’s the oath doctors promise to their patients. It’s sacred and the basis of how all of us expect to be treated. But that promise does not always apply to the companies that make and sell joint implants. Often the oath of “do no harm” is overshadowed by corporate profit margins and greed. While doctors do their best to heal our bodies, sometimes the devices they use in surgery are what do the most harm.
If you or someone close to you is injured by a recalled Exactech implant, we may be able to help.

Frequently Asked Questions about Exactech
What is Wrong with Exactech Hip and Knee Replacements?
The plastic parts of the Exactech hip and knee implants were stored in defective packaging that let oxygen seep inside. The oxygen caused a chemical reaction in the plastic components that weakened them, making them more likely to crack, break, and otherwise shed plastic particles into the body.
Are Exactech Hip and Knee Replacements Recalled?
Yes. Several Exactech joint replacements have been recalled including the Connexion GXL hip replacement, the Vantage ankle replacement, and the Optetrak and Truliant knee replacements.
Can You Sue Exactech?
Yes. You can file a lawsuit against Exactech if you’ve been injured by a recalled Exactech hip, knee, or ankle replacement. The attorneys at mctlaw are in lead positions in the national litigation over recalled Exactech joint replacements. The first trial is scheduled for November 6, 2023 in Florida.
How Much is a Joint Replacement Lawsuit Worth?
Settlement amounts vary based on the person and the injuries that they have received from a defective joint implant. However, juries have awarded millions of dollars to injured people in previous joint replacement lawsuits. Orthopedic manufacturers have paid out billions of dollars in verdicts and settlements over defective joint replacements.
Why Hire Our Attorneys to Represent You in a Joint Replacement Case?
Attorneys at mctlaw are in leadership positions in the ongoing Exactech litigation. Attorney Ilyas Sayeg was instrumental in the fight to consolidate all Florida Exactech lawsuits into one master case. That means that anyone across the country can file a lawsuit against Exactech in the company’s home state of Florida. The product liability legal team at mctlaw is one of the first to spearhead Exactech litigation on a national level.
Is there a Deadline to File an Exactech Joint Replacement Claim?
Yes, definitely. There is a limited period of time to file a lawsuit for injuries suffered as the result of a defective product. Do not wait to find out if you qualify to file a claim because it could hurt your case.
Will I Have Symptoms if Something is Wrong with My Exactech Joint Replacement?
Not everyone experiences symptoms. Many patients will know that something is wrong with their Exactech implant because they feel joint pain, dislocations, joint squeaking and other clues. But it is possible to have tissue damage and other injuries without any clear physical symptoms at first.

I can’t recommend this firm enough. They have an outstanding team that truly care for their clients…I have been awarded a fair six figure settlement.

When I say “they went to bat” for me…this Law Firm literally did just that. They persevered to bring the hard-nosed Manufacturer to settle and provide me some recompense for everything I had to endure which led to this suit.
